10 ALEXANDRIA CANAL AoUEDUcT The
Aoueduct is, We regret TO announce, about to
be- reconslructnd The engineers have arrived
here. and made arrangements for boarding sew
aral mechanics from the north who will prob
shlvI commence work on Monday next It is
earnestly 10 be hoped that writ Of injunction
or other legal process will at once be obtained,
notil the proper tribunal shall determine
whether the people OF Alexandria or the les
s,ts of their canal have any right longer to ob
struct navigation and iDjuriousiy affect the
trade of Georgetown. Common sense, which
Is said to be The end of all law, tells us that
our plainest rights are now invaded, and we
entertain not a shadow OF doubt that, when
the subject is fairly presented on its merits, no
court will hesitate to pronounce the Aqueduct
anuisance to this city. The Corporation hav-
ing appropriated SO 600 to contest the matter
and the oWners OF property above the Aque-
duct being opulent, we see no reason why the
issue should not at once be made. There IS no
time to lose Ii we know The temper of
the people here, we feel certain that they
are prepared to spend any required sum in
contesting the claims Of Alexandra to the
Aoueduct It must be abolished, and in its
stead good bridge with a draw must be built
Every man in town is interested in this matter.
y The above is taken from the Georgetown
Courier. We have conversed with leading cit
zens of that town, who say that the coal trade
is more of nuisance than benefit there, as il
occupies ground which could be far more pro-
Gtably used 10 manufacturing and other bust
ness This coal trade is almost the only part
of the canal business which passes over the
Aqueduct 1t seems, then, that few wharf
owners are actually leading the people of
Georgetown totheir serious detriment, in order
that they may continue their outrageous extor-
tons upon the coal interest, in the absence Of
the facilities Of the Alexandria Canal
r This Aqueduct was located where it is with
the full concurrence Of Georgetown aud we
would submit that it is rather late in the day
for them to clamor now for it's removal, that
Messrs Cooke, Dodge, Shumaker, and other
spectators, who have lately purchased proper
ty above the Aqueduct. may have a chance Of
enriching themselves at the expense of others
We have had quite enough, however, of
these efforts toinvade our vested rights, and
the sooner the proposed attempt is made the
, better. 41i!'.ss..E= .a~.
