The hearing of the representatives OF various
interests affected by the proposed improve
ments and changes on the river front Of the
District of Columbia, was continued yesterday
by the Senate committee. W. A. Cook, at
torney for the District, denied the claim of the
Chesap eake and Ohio Canal Company to the
land on the river side of the canal, couteuding
that their rights were merely 10 the land
through which the canal passed, and he denied
that the owners of river fronts had any claim
to accretions from the river, but said that there
would be no difficulty as to the wharf owners.
They we're willing to allow the work to go on
and to bring in afterwards their claim to IN
demnity.
