told the House commerce Committee, Fri
day, thst the government couli build the
canal for S-5. 0o0. 600; that bonds ~oulc
sell readily. While bearing interest at only
4 Ter cent, and that intere.t money and re-
pairs would not exceed $500 900 per an
uum. Government coltrol would permit
the lowel ing Of rates to 81 ton and profit
would result at that figure. 1t would cost
the company on the other hand, $500. Co.,
600 to build the canal, and bonds
could not be hoated for less than
8 Der cent. The annual expense to the
company would be sl2 200 GOO for interest,
and e. 900. 900 additional for repairs. They
would be compelled to charge toll of $3.50

mefce of the coarser grades,such - lumber
