Excerpt from Annual Report of the Governor of the Panama Canal, for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1944 One of the factors which has made this possible is the good condition in which all wearing and deteriorating parts are kept. Of the total capital value of The Panama Canal there are approximately 000 of general structural values pertaining to nonbusiness units of the organization, which are subject to deterioration and require regular repair and periodical replacement. Some of these structures, such as dams and concrete buildings, are still in excellent condition and require but little expenditure for upkeep; but on others deterioration has reached a point where replace ment should not longer be deferred. These necessary replacements include not only the frame buildings originally erected to serve during the period of construction of the Canal, but also docks, highways, etc., which, due to ordinary deterioration or other conditions, have been rendered inadequate or unserviceable for present requirements or uneconomical to maintain.
