Tuk ASSESSMENT BILL will probably fail
on account of the inability Of the advoc ties
Of the two Systems Of assessment agreeing
upou any compromise measure before the
date of adjournment arrives. There should
have been q new assessment. but now that
matters are 90 badly out Of joint and the time

passing the bill aud give the remaining time
to meritorious local legislation.

canals of the House of Delegates, examined
several witnesses on Tuesday at Annapolis
Mr.. Robert Bridges. one of the receivers Of
the canal seemed entirely ignorant OF the pres
ent condition of the waterway and its man
agement. Mr.. F. Mertins, the boat builder
expressed his views In favor of the canal, fol
reason that he was sure that the canal Of to
day is as good az before the freshet. Then
he said, we had 190 boats on the canal, now
we have 90 boats ready to load. l built II
boats last year, and have contracts for A
boats to be completed by August. The boat!
which we will have by May will deliver
362, 900 tons. In tonnage on coal alone thu
canal should take In $4,000. I think thu
canal ought to be operated 80 as to yield I
profit of So, 900 over aud above expenses.
