Canal Propertr Sold.

COLUMBUS, July So-The Walhond-
ing Valley Railroad Company on Sat
urday paid the state canal commission
$1,000, being the price fixed by the leg
islature for the canal property which
the road took possession of without
authority. The manner in which the
company appropriated the right Of way
along the canal was the subject Of leg
islative investigation, not entirely free
from scandal showing neglect if moth
ing worse on the part of the state board
OF public works, whose duty it was to
guard the public property from being
encroached upon by private corpora
tions.
The question was agitated by the
canal commission until the investiga-
tion was made. When the commission
appraised the property it was on a
basis requiring the payment of an an
nual rental of $1,000, but after consid-
erable pickering the last Legislature
compromised the matter and permitted
the sale of the right of way at the
figure named.
