What reading level is The Americans in Panama book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is to be at an elevation of no feet above the level of the lake and capable of sending a message for 3. 000 miles, to Washing- ton, D. C. , or to a similar station on the California coast. Smaller stations will be maintained at Colon and Balboa in the Canal Zone, and at Porto Bello. The Republic of Panama and private companies will not operate stations in competition with the American government.
If the great Gatun dam should break, the water in the lake might sweep devastatingly over the ci...ty of 170 LOCKS AND DAMS Colon, seven miles away, or pass through the old bed of the Chagres River harmlessly into the Caribbean Sea. While the pressure on the dam will be terrific, no such catastrophe is considered probable.
171 CHAPTER XV THE CULEBRA CUT POPULAR interest always has centered chiefly in the excavation phase of canal construction, los- ing sight of the fact that the locks, dams, and break- waters call for an expenditure of $85, 643, 000. The Culebra cut has been exploited more than any other feature of the canal, yet it was estimated to cost $80, 481, 000, or five million dollars less than the fea- tures just enumerated.
