Thee. 81 o. CANAL-Tbe Chesapeake
and Oho Canal receivers fled their second
report in Baltimore yesterday. While they
do not directly recommend the sele of the
canal, they Intimate that the State has no
other course left than to dispose Of the prop
erty. The receivers say that IL examining
the line of the canal they found considerable
valuable property belonging 10 it which is
rot essential for its uses as transportation
liue, and much of which il leased at 8 nom
inal figure In fact, it was impossible for
them to ascertain exactly from the books
and maps what property the company owns.
The receivers ask the court for authority to
employ surveyors to make plats of the prop
erty in Maryland and the District OF Colum-
bis, so that the full extent of the property
owned by the company can be ascartaiDet.
The receivers think that sale of the prop
erty not absolutely needed by the canal as a
waterway might realiza sufficient fund TO
pay off the bonds Of 1878 and the wages due
Iabore-a and other employees. The receiv
era further etate that In the interest of the
citizens dependent upon the canal and 9th
ers, they would like to recommend it's con-
tinuance as waterway, but they cannot do
90 in view OF the fact that railroad competi-
ton iuterposes loo great an obstacle to iis
profitable operation. The various coal COM
panies contiguous to the canal were reques'
ed by the receivers to guarantee certain
amount of tonnage if the canal be maintain
ed, but only four companies paid anS atten.
tion to the request, and those offered total
of $50 600 tons year for four years.
