The question as 10 the ownership Of the canal
10 one that has recently agitated Congress Il
no little extent, and Mr.. severson's researches
have enabled him 10 put together all the law,
bearing upon the subject. II appears, therefore
that on the 1st day Of May, 1909, Congress char.
tered canal company for the purpose Of having
canal opened from the foot Of Seventeenth
street to the east branch Of the Potomac. In
1909 the time for completing the work was OK.
tended seven years. Statutes at Large, vol. 2,
P. 6l7 In 1922 Congress authorized the Cor.
porntion Of Washington to have the location oil
the canal so changed ss that II should drain the
low grounds along the Tiber, and for this pur.
pose Government lots were authorised to be sold
by the Corporation to the extent needed TO pay
the cost Of tho change In the course OF the cana,
and for draining, 1ling, and improving the res.
srvalions and building bridgss.-tstatutes at
BY a bill approved May 20, 1926, Congress au.
thorized the canal 10 be widened 10 l50 feet west
Of Seventh street, and II was also provided by
this net that tho canal should have q depth Of
water equal to ut least one foot at ordinary low
tides. -(StatutoS at Large volume 4, page 1870. J
BY act Of May 81, 1882, the canal was trans.
forred from the Canal Company to the Corpora.
tion Of Washington. and the Government rights
In certain portions OF the Mall were bestowed
upon the Corporation.-(S Statutes at Large, VOL

IMPORTANT TO ADVERTISERS.

The following extract from report Of the pro-
ceedings OF the N. y. State Editorial Convention,
holden at Penn Yam, Thursday, June 81, Is very
significant:
some discussion was Induced by recommended
ton from the Chairman of the Committee on
Agencies, that n resolution be adopted whereby
publishers should no longer be allowed to con-
tract for space 10 be filled with short miscella-
neous advertisements, subject to frequent
changes. IL was argued that such course en-
abled agents so contracting TO do work at great
ly reduced rates, and to the prejudice Of all other
parties. The firm Of George Il. Roweu a Co., Of
New York, being regarded rs the principal one
which had adopted this system, and Mr.. Roweil
being present I'm the Convention, he was called
upon to reply to the charge. Mr.. S. NJ. Petten-
gill, also OF New York. remarked, In substance,
that by this system Messrs. Rowell Il Co. were
enabled to contract for business at much lower
rate than he could do, and claimed that the pub
fishers should in self-defense cease to make con-
tracts In this way. Many present, however, re-
cognized 10 as an advantage to be able thus to
dispose Of q fixed amount OF space to respon-
sible party for n definite time, since they thus
obtained q class of business to be secured in no
other way, and a large number already had
contracts Of this nature with which they were
satisfied, while others had space to spare and
were willing to entertain similar propositions
no action was taken in the matter"
The advantages secured to the advertiser by
this system of contracting are very great Par
ties interested are invited to send for copy oi
the advertisers Gazette, containing fullest infor-
nation in regard to our system. Address GEO
p ROWELL & CO., 40 Park Row, New York.
