cHEsApEAKE AND OHIO CANAL

Al a Convention Of Delegates from The
State Of Tirgtntn, lfnryiand, PennSylra-
mn, Ohm, and The District Of Colombia,
holden at The Capital, an The Cris Of
Washington, on the Gtk, attn, and 9Th Of
.Nortmbfr, 1923, he feiio~ing preamble
and resolutions uere ooHSideredd and odoD-
ted.
Whereas connection of the Atlaatic
and Western Waters, by Canal leading
from the Seat of the General Government
to the River Ohio, regarded as local OBJ
Ject, is one of the highest importance TO
the States Immediately interested there.
in, aud considered in = natianal view, is of
'nestlmable consequences to the future IL
nlon, security aud happiness, of the United
States:
ReSollvd, unanimously That il is expe-
dlent TO substitute, for the defective nayi-
cation of the Potomac River above tide
water, a naligahle Canal by Cumberland
10 the mouth Of Savage Creek, al the east
ern base of the Allegheny, and to extend
such Canal, as soon thereafter as practi-
cable, to the highest constant steam boat
navigation I'd the Moaongahela or Ohio
River.
That the most eligible mode Of attaining
this object, wifi be by the Incorporation of IA
JOINT stock company, empowered to cut
the sand Canal through the Territory ofthe
United States ia the District Of Colombia,
and oithe States of virginia, Maryland, and
Pennsyi ania and, therefore, that com
ln'ttees be appointed, each consisting of
five Delegates, TO prepare and present in
behalf OF this Assembly, and in co-opera
ten with the General Committee, herein
after provided, suitable memorials to the
Congress OF the United States, and the
Legislatures Of the several States before
named, requesting their concurrence in the
incorporation OF such company and their
corporation, Unnecessary, in the subscrip-
tlon OF tsnds Tor the completion Of the said
Canal
And, whereas, by IN act of the General
Assembly Virginia, which passed thc asd
February, 1928, entitled " Al act incorpo-
rating the Potomac Canal Company the
assent OF that state, 80 far AS the limits of
her territory renders it necessary, is alrea-
dy given to this object, and far its enlarge.
ment to the extent required by the pre-
cedinS resolution, the said act appears to
furnish, with proper amendments, IA sufii-
Gent basis
BE Il therefore Resolred, That it will be
expedient to accept the same rs charter
for the proposed Company, with the fol.
lowing notifications, viz:
That, in reference to its enlarged purpose,
the name be changed to "The chesapeake
and Ohio Canal"
That provision be made for the assent of
the Government Of the United States.
and of the State Of Pennsylvania, TO
the said act, aud that the act be- made
to correspond IN its details with such pro-
vision.
That the Union Canal shall be divided
INTO two sections, Eastern aud Western.
the former of which shall correspond in
description with that of the Chesapeak,
and Ohio Canal, by the preceding resolu-
iion, and the latter shall begin at the ives
iern extremity Of the former, and termi-
nate at the hend Of the steam boat GA.
