Lawyers and Receivers.

The Chicago Tribune in reviewing
an article from the Economist, rela-
tive to the cost of the receiVership of
the Union Traction Company, of that
city, states that the enormous sum of
81, 879, 900 was paid out to the lawyers
and receivers. 1t further SAYS:
"Who got the 81 ,S79, ZOO? The law
yers seem to have got most of it. The
stockholders of the various COM
panies assessed themselves S905, 900,
which they spent for legal services
and in other ways for the protection
of their rights. Doubtless if it had
not been for those legal services some
of the stockholders would have been
given scanty recognition in the reor-
ganization plan. They got something
for their money.
The court allowed various trust
companies which acted as trustees
and their counsel fees amounting to
S312 900. the counsel got the lions
share of the money. For special legal
services in connection with the re-
ceivership the court allowed a re-
enumeration of $500, 900. There are
many stockholders who are altogether
in the dark as to these special ser
vices or their value. They are no.
aware of anything of benefit to them
done by the lawyers who drew the
S365 900.
The receivers got for their services
1895, 700. This is exclusive of special
remuneration allowed by directors
and stockholders. The duties of the
receivers in connection with the man
agement of the Union Traction pro-
perties were not OnerOus. Equally
competent men could have been got
for less than $4,000 a year.
While receivers and lawyers were
drawing such large sums the stock
holders were getting nothing. There
were thousands, many of them de
pending for support on their divi
dends, who have received none for
the last five years.
1t was not necessary to have so
many receivers and pay them so
much. There was no occasion for
the employment of SO many lawyers
and the allowance of such large fees.
But it has been the habit of recent
years to run to extravaganza in these
matters. The interests. of the cred
itOrS of a bankrupt have been lost
sight of in the desire to benefit the
legal profession.
This is a good time to call a halt.
In these days when economy is
preached on every hand there should
be econOmizing in the matter of re-
ceiverships and some consideration
for the feelings of creditors or stock
holders. There is an opportunity for
a Judge to make name for himself
by refusing to let a receiver employ a
lawyer unless one be actually needed
and by awarding TO the lawyer only
what his services are worth.
1t would not be safe to depend on
the judges. There should be legisla-
ton. The fees of receivers and law
yers should be regulated by law. The
cost of receivership proceedings is
fragrant evil which calls for prompt
and effective action

PANAMA CITY. FLA. MAY21. 1908.
St. Andrews and ChipOla
Canal.
Canal.

Possibly no small project would
benefit such a large and important
territory as one connecting Wetappo
creek, which runs into the head of
the east arm of st. Andrews Bay, and
the waters of the lakes leading into
the Chipola and Appalachicola rivers.
Ever since the settlement of this
section such means of transporta-
ton has appealed to enterprising
business men. February 10th, 1882,
the Territorial Legislature passed
bill entitled Gan act to incorporate
a Company to be called the st. An
dreWS and Chipola Canal Company"
the promoters of which plainly fore
saw the Importance of such a water
way, and the ease with which it could
be constructed.
Scarcely five miles of very light
cutting would connect Wetappo creek
with the waters leading in to the
Chipola and Appalachicola rivers,
and this through sandy soil where
dredging could be done at a minimum
of cost.
A canal with depth of six feet of
water, and thirty feet in width on the
bottom, could undoubtedly be ex-
cavated for less than $4,000. Such
a channel would furnish ample water
for the light draft craft that are now
doing the work upon the streams run
ming into this bay moving by barges
large amount of heavy freight, and
it would also provide safe water
way for the many passenger launches
that would ply between the head
waters of the Flint, ChattahoOchee,
and Chipola rivers and st Andrews
Bay.
No more pleasant trip by water
could be taken than by launch from
Mariana, cambridge, or Columbus
and intervening points, to this bay,
and this would be a favorite way for
our inland friends to reach the sea
coast.
The cost of constructing this canal
is SO small that it would not be diff
cult to raise the amount in the terri
tory interested, providing a company
were duly organized to put the matter
through. Stock would be taken in
such an enterprise by the citizens re-
siding along the riveas mentioned, as
well as by our Bay people, and by
the large and increasing number of
launch owners. All that is necessary
is that men of practical business ex-
perience and standing take the mi
tiatiYe, and carry on the work.
1t would also benefit State lands.
and it is possible that the Board of
Internal Improvement might aid in
the work. Such a canal would aid
in dreaming quite an amount of swamp
land, and open to settlement an I'M
inhabited section of the State. There
could be no more worthy object for
the expenditure of the monies of the
Internal Improvement Fund than
this.

Wrightville Paper Gives Account of
Passing of a Former DawsOnian.

WrIghtVllIe Paper Gives Account of
Passing of Former DawsOnian.
From the Wrightsville Headlight
we reproduce the following account
of the death of Mr.. r. T. Kennedy,
mention of which was made in The
News last week:
after a painful illness of sew
eral days with pneumonia Mr.. r. T.
Kennedy died in this city on last
Saturday morning at the residence
of his father-in-law Capt. j. L. Mar
tin.
mr.. Kennedy was taken i'll at
Toccoa, and when his relatives here
were notified of his condition Col
P. H. Martin, his brother-in-law,
went at once to that place and ac-
companied him home, where, after
intense suffering, he breathed his
last surrounded by his family.
The deceased was comparatively
a young man. He came to Wrights-
vile about seven years ago when he
was engaged in the lightning rod
business, and later married Miss
Rosa Martin of this city. He former
ly resided at Dawson. where he is
prominently connected. He was a
kind hearted, generous man, and in
his last moments expressed universal
love for his fellow man, and for
giveness for all those who had
wronged him, and without muir
muir he closed his eyes and passed
peacefully into the great beyond.
THE funeral was conducted Sun
day afternoon from his late resi-
dence, Rev. j. A. Jensen, pastor of
the Christian church, assisted by
Rev. T. w. barley of the Methodist
church, officiating.
The interment was at Westview
cemetery, where, in the presence of
large number of relatives and
friends, he was laid to rest to await
the resurrection morn.
HE leaves a wife and one child,
little girl, several ibrothers and a
sister to mourn his loss.
