Talk:George Washington Goethals

Sanitation?
"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

Is that a German ü? That is unlikely. Is this supposed to be a ə (schwa)?
