DULUTH CANAL is DENIED.
Waterway to Minneapolis Gets Unfav
orable Report.

Washington. Dec. 15-An unfavor-
able report upon the proposed canal
connecting Minneapolis and Duluth by
the way of the ST. Croix river was
made by Chief Engineer Marshall.
From an engineering point of view,"
said General Marshall, "the project
is practicable. but commercially is i'm
practicable and l do not deem it ad-
visable for the government to under
take it now"
General Marshall states that he sup
ports the board Of engineers and the
district engineer in their report which
is an exhaustive discussion of the con-
dition of the traffic between Duluth
and Minneapolis. The board of engin-
GERS takes the position that the four
railroads extending from Duluth to
Minneapolis and st. Paul are amply
able to take care of the traffic.

the city's business was s2.52 less 1ur
ing the first year under the Des
Moines plan than it was during the
last year under the old aldermanic
system.
Inc statement shows that for the
fiscal year which closed April |, 1909,
the first twelve months under the Des
Moines plan, the expenditures were
$9o5,54661. Based on a population of
100000 the per capita tax was 1886
but it is pointed out that $175,616.0T
of the expenditure was on debts con
tracted by former councils, so, with
that deducted, the actual per capita
cost was $3.50.
On the other hand, 1t is shown tina,
the per capita cost of sS65 for the
last year under the old plan is too
low. for the debt of $3.50 600 which the
council accumulated in that time was
not considered as spent. Then it wa.
estimated the city had population
of only 10000, so that increases the
per capita rate $1.37 and makes il
$1O32.
These figures show that the per
capita cost during the last year OF
the old plan was s1O.32, as against
$3.50 under the new.
w. W. Wise, who was member OF
the board of public works during the
old regime, claims that the greater
part of the debt with which the old
council is charged was contracted for
things the present council has not
had to contend with. He points out
that large per cent of the money
was put in permanent improvements
such as paving around the present
+ postoffice and in the building of fire
stations Because of this he claims
the S150,000 should not be charged
up to the old council as dissipated.
