An agreement was reached Tuesday
between the Susquchanna Power Com.
pany and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which insures the passage
OF the bill which has been so vigorous
ly fought at Annapolis and is step
toward the competition OF one OF the
greatest undertakings ever attempted
in this State. II means, according to
ITS advocates the construction OF an
inland waterway from Columbia, Pa,
TO tidewater. and the eventual extern
son OF the canal system to Harrisburg,
Pa. More than that, II means the
harncssing OF the Susquehanna power
and the ultimate cheapening OF elec-
tricity as a motive power in Baltimore
city. The cost OF the undertaking will
not fall short OF $I8,oooooo
The powers asked for by the Sus-
quehanna Power Company had been
vigorously fought by the Pennsylvania
Railroad on the ground that the height
OF the dam to be constructed would
result in the overhowing OF the tracks
OF the Columbia and Port Deposit
Railroad, and and agreement was de-
manded similar to that OF the railroad
company made with the McCalls Ferry
Company by which the latter was
obliged not only to remove the tracks,
but to double-track the road.
To this the Susquehanna Company
demurred. II was ready to repair any
damage that might occur in the event
OF an overflow and put the road in
working order. Tuesday the contend
ing forces met m PhiladeIDhia where
counsel on both sides conferred with

Mr.. Massey, the general couns1I (o1
the PcnnsyIyania Railroad Cox,oonx.
An aRrecmrt was entered into wIf136li1
the Susquehanna Power C3lNIc31lV
agreed 70 remove and rcbuiI6 ~
tracks Of the railroad. 50 that ffax<|
viii at no time be intcrfercd with.
AZ the same time the Susquchanna
Power people consented to lower the
height OF the dam from $50 10 no feet.
Immediately after the compron1iso
had been reached the counsel for the
susquelJanna Company went back 20
annapolis and prepared an amendmerf
which was tackled to the bill, and which
covered the terms Of the agreement.
Both sides are much pleased with the
outcome. The attorneys Representing
the Susquehanna Company and who
made the fight are ex-Scnators Ste
venson "A. Williams and Thomas A.
Robinson. OF Hartford, and Frank C.
Homer OF Baltimore. The Pennsyl-
yania Railroad was represented by
John G. Donaldson and Charles H.
Carter.
When the bill came up the commit
tee amendments were rejected and
those covering the agreement adopted.
Senator Lee cndcavorcd to insert
provision fixing rates for Hartford and
Cecil counties. but Il was vosed down.
Senator France sought to compel
the corporation TO pay $4,000 for the
cnarter and 10 pay graduated fran
chise tax This was defeated The
only amendment adopted was offered
by Senator Baker and this preserved
the right OF fishery.
The bill was then passed to a third
reading.

and a powder, and told the patient that
he must come back TO him II the thing
became worse.

neck all sore and his rCdy infected.
