Biographical History
The Third Isthmian Canal Commission was established by an Executive order of April 1, 1905, because of the unsatisfactory work of the Second Isthmian Canal Commission. It was responsible for work on the canal. It consisted of seven members appointed by the President; Theodore P. Shonts chaired the Commission. It was abolished effective April 1, 1914, by Executive Order 1885 of January 27, 1914, pursuant to the Panama Canal Act of 1912 (37 Stat. 560), approved May 24, 1912, with government functions assumed by The Panama Canal.
