Sanitation?
[edit]"A major part of his success was his particular attention to sanitation and control of disease carrying mosquitos, which greatly reduced incidence of disease and death among Canal workers."
Eh? I thought that was the work of William Crawford Gorgas - Goethals slashed the medical budget, in order to devote all resources to the actual construction work. GCarty 09:49, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- exactly , Goethals almost caused death of thousands by opposing sanition in canal zone and this wiki article is opposite of other wiki articles
Stop Graffiti Please
[edit]Yeah, I frequent this but not everyone knows about Mr. Webb and his Unit Guides, Geesh. So I'm going to delete that edit - its still considered vandalism <most people can ignore what I'm saying> Nerion 00:35, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
