BOATMAN
Tells About Canals.
Too Much Extravaganza,
He Thinks.
There Are More Salary
Drawers Than Boats.
Reduce the Number Of Super
inteHdents
And Cut Down the Chief Engineers
Pay-Breezy Statement.

Capt. II. Myers of Akron, one OF the
best known boatmen on the Ohio can
al, is out with public statement con
cernipg the canals. He does not seem
to be on very good terms with the
canal superintendnts. Here is what he
says:
Being practical boatman with an
experience on and about the Ohio canal
for 10 years, wish TO make n few
statements TO inform the tax payers of
the state of Ohio what Is being done
BY tie honorable Board of Public
Works and others. There are seven
superntendents of the Ohio Canal
Why employ seven when all that is
necessary is 10 have a good foreman
on each state boat, as a good foreman
knows more about the work that
should he done than all of these SUI
perlntcndcnts, whom tile board has
employed at 81 400 Il year?
Every month when the board meets
nj Columbus the superintendents meet
with them and hand in their bills of ex-
Denses for work along the canal; and
then they have an extra bill for them
selves of from $40 to $1i for riding
around on railroads from 20 to 40 miles
away from the canal. off in some town,
looking after something they have no
business with and mt the same time
using free railroad passes. The
board members also carry free railroad
passes and charge the state $50 a
month for travelling expenses. Well,
those seven superlntcudcnts cost the
state on an average Of over $1,000 a
year. That would be $1,000 for those
seven besides the extra that neither
you nor know anything of.
''If the board wanted to do justice to
the state they could hire all the super
iutcndpnts they wanted for $500 and
$1,000 aud pay their own expenses.
would be glad MS al old canal man tc
take G.. W Johuston second and third
division. and would tend them as .
man should. for 81 800 year. The
two mcn who arc there now cost thu
state $4,000 cnrli rhnt would SAVE

could be greatly improved. Again
think of It! having two engineers, G,
r.. Perkins, at salary of $1,000 a year
and Perkins for extras from July, 1895,
to October, 1896, S210.25; and about
the same on the Miami and Erie canals
the same year.
During the years 1888. 1899, 1893
and 1894 the expenditures were 1897, :
542.73; the receipts were $106,3300S, n
shortage for the taxpayers to pay of
S291 ,3123J In four years, which could
have been prevented with proper man
agement. In further perusal of the re,
ports we find charges for rubber boots,
livery hire, and other items amounting
to hundreds OF dollars that the state
has nc business TO pay. We have one
superintendent on this canal who has
charged for harness on an average OF
500 Il year for five and six head Of
stock Is it right that our members
allow such bills? The other six super
intendents together have about $50 to
$40 year and II or 10 teams.
at seems to me that lots of these
bills are very unjust. AS an old canal
man | know that those expenditures
can he cut down more than half, and
the canal will be more than self-sus-
tanning. 1t would be a damage TO the
people along the canal to abandon it,
Well, hope the Legislature will make
change"

At The Grand.

A merry company of comedians,
cessful comedy, "A Hot Old Time"
will be the magnet at the Grand to-
night. "A Hot Old Time" is a merry
melange of satirical nonsense of the
day that affords n reasonable excuse
for the introduction of numerous stu
atoms clenn-cut. unique characters,
plethora of music, singing and dancing
and vast amount of new stage busi-
ness. 1t creates ripplcs of merrimcnt
and tears of laughter. The songs,
dances and specialties are catchy"
and up to date, and bcvy OF pretty
girls form fascinating feature. Alb
surd and amusing situations are the
life of the peace. The succession of
mirth-provoking events is rapid
enough to suggest n motion picture,
and the laughter from the beginning of
each act to the end is continuous. One
laugh ends where another begins.
Blue Jeans, Joseph Arthurs world
famous comedy dmma, will be seen
Mt the Grand Saturday afternoon and
evening. 1t is a bright and entertain
ing story of rural Indiana life as ty-
pificd by the inhabitants of Rising
Sun, and its odd characters, pictures
quo scenes and thrilling story combin
ed TO make the strongest American
play that has yet been produced. II
shows in lur!d lights, the truth of the
old saying that "Hell has no fury lik,
a woman scorned;' but the tense anC
almost tragic scenes of Sue Eudaly ar,
softened and smoothed by the quaint
humor of those about her. There is {
laugh for every thrill and smile FOL
every creep. Nothing can he funnie
and ut the same time more natura
than the barbecue and the Rising Sun
Roarers band; while on the othel
hand no stage effect has ever reache,

such a degree of intense, thrilling real
ism as the famous saw mill scene OF
Blue Jeans. Unlike the runaway loco
motives, the sinking ships, the ex-
ploding mines, etc, IL is entirely with
in the reach of stage mechanism and
architecture and cXcitcs no smilc of
dcrlsion as Il caricaturc, hut on the
contrary, Is true to the life in every
detail; and from its first production
has never failed to create most pro-
found impression. even upon the most
blase theater gocrs. 1t is a clean,
bright, wholesome play. The story is
tersely and graphically told, the plot
strong and ingenious yet never impro-
bable, and the comedy abundant and
of high order. The company is n
capable one, being especially selected
for their adaptability to the various
parts, while the sensc outfit is COM
plete, showing in addition TO the great
saw mill scene. the apple orchard OF
Perry Rascom, the home of the Tute-
wlers at Rising Sun ana in the last
act, the interior of that same home.
In every particular, 1t will be Il com
plete and adequate production of this
famous comedy drama.
