To the Commissioners Of Public Works Of The
Slate Of Maryland. and the President and
Directors ofMe Chesapeake and Ohio Ca
nal Company:
GENTLEMEN The people of Allegany
County, having understood that an effort was
making to induce the Canal Company to in
crease the tolls upon coal, transported on
that work and that the Commissioners of
Public Works conceived it to be their duty,
t. require such an increase to be made, for
the purpose of preventing an Injurious COM
petition betreen The Canal and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. A large meeting was
held at Cumberland, on the 10Th inst, by
which the undersigned We're instructed re-
spectlully to submit to your consideration.
the following reasons why such an increase
Of tolls ought not to be made.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was con-
structcd at a cost amounting in 1857, to %, :
900 900 of dollars, of which sum the State
had furnished in stock, loans and interest, a
bout 10 900 000 and the balance had been
supplied by other corporations and individu-
ais, in the shape Of stock subscriptions, pro-
duce and labor At an early day, in the his
tory of this work. the State had become the
owner Of majority of its stock, and it has
kept the control Of its affairs in the hands of
its own agents continuously from that to the
present Sometimes pursuing liberal and
generous policy towards it, and at Others a
dopting a course directly the reverse. owing
to the character Of the individuals, who hap
poned for the time to represent the State.
This uncertain and vacilaiing line of poll
CIV, nd led greatly to the difficulties and en-
barrassments under which the work WIS car.
ried forward, and increased. very much the
cost of its construction. and the repairs that
have been made upon it.
In consequence of tins policy, the indebt-
edness Of the Canal Company. hncw 80 larS
