In summer there is complaint Of the

The complaint Of high local railway
freight charges causes a discussion Of
greater utilization Of British canals.
They have a total length Of 1900 miles,
but unfortunately the railways control
1900 miles thereof. and none OF the
canals can carry boats OF as much as
100 tons. Continental canals, It is said,
will carry boats CT 1000 tons. The
British canals are so well distributed
that practically every important town
has direct water connection with the
seaboard. It is demanded that these
waterways be made serviceable as com
