WOULD BUY d. & C. CANAL

Former Senator Anthony Higgins
wants the Government to purchase the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal for pur-
poses of national defense. Before the
House Committee on Railways aud Canals
Tuesday he admitted that the canal might
not be absolutely essential to the national
defense, but said that if deepened to 35
feet at various places along it's route and
Widened it would in time of war afford a
strategical rendezvous for fleet.
The hearing was on the bill OF Repre-
sentative Burton, of Delaware, to take
over the Chesapeake and Delaware canal.
Those who spoke in favor of the measure
included ex-senator Anthony Higgins,
United States Senators dupont and Rich
ardson, Representatives Wagner and
FouIkrod, President Maclean, of the Will
mington Board of Trade; w. d. Mullen,
s. K. Smith and w. B. Budd, Thomas
Haupt, representing the Trades League
of Philadelphia, Secretary Meekins. of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal Commits
sion and Captain Philip ReyboId. Presi-
dent Moore, Of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association, also addressed
the committee on the general proposition
of a canal from Boston to Beaucroft and
Key West.
Congressman Burton opened with a
comprehensive speech, telling of the eur
veys and the legislation, and explaining
that the Agnus report contained all the
important literature of the subject. The
best route had been finally and absolutely
determined and the need Of the canal
was admitted by all. Now the duty was
to begin work and the passage OF this bill
would bring to head the efforts and am
bitions of many wears. Dr. Burton intro
duce1 the various speakers.
Senator DUPONT made short speech
fully indorsing the canal project. He be-
lieved the money would be well spent and
would contribute to the national welfare.
