THE C.. & D. CANAL PURCHASE

The filibuster which is being con-
Quoted in Congress against the Rivers

that the advocates of waterways Bill
at this session of Congress will have
to fight hard and long before they
succeed in passing it through the Sen
ate, if they succeed at ALL Maryland
has many interests involved in the
Bill, the greatest of which is the pro-
vision therein for the purchase of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
Friends of this provision are naturally
somewhat worried over the situation.
The dissent to the measure rests
upon large number of appropriations
provided for insignificant streams in
remote and almost unknown parts of
the countryside pork barrel distribu-
tion-always accompanied by log roll
ing.
Mr.. Kenyon and his associates pro-
fess that they wish to check the ex-
travagance and waste of the Demo-
Gratis, and they say they have no in
tention of interfering with the meri-
torious appropriations in the bill. 1t
is quite true, as Mr.. Kenyon says, that
large percentage of the money en-
pended on rivers and harbors has been
wasted. The point, however, that con-
Germs the friends Of the Deeper Water
ways Association is whether their
project will be considered praisewor-
thy and the advocates of the canal
purchase must be keenly watchful to
see that in the cutting and slashing
and the filibuster against the passage
of the bill their measure does not
suffer.
1t will be recalled that the import
ant improvement which calls for the
purchase of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal has received the approval
of experts employed by the govern
ment and of special commissions. 1t
has been advocated by large and rep
resentative bodies of business men.
Years have elapsed since the matter
was first agitated, and it was suppos-
ed that the efforts of the supporters of
the project were about to be crowned
with success. The Senate committee
has reported in favor of the sum re-
quired for the purchase of the canal,
and all that is necessary is for the
Senate to pass the bill with this
amount unchanged. The House, it
has been thought, would agree to the
altered figures of the Senate. The
Senators representing the States in
terested, therefore, should urge the
passage of the bill, with some of the
Objectionable features eliminated, but
with the provision for acquiring the
canal retained

HIGHLAND PARK WANTS
TO BE TREATED FAIRLY

The original Fourth of July was not
the only time that declaration of In
dependence was drawn UP, and there
Will be another expression Of right
eous Indignation on the coming Fourth
by citizens of Highland Park. There
promises to be an airing of grievances
ny the community against the city in
general and Judge Campbeifs recent
annexation decree in particular.
The fly in the ointment of the High
land Park protestants Is that there
was trnore consideration. given To the
interests OF Ginter Park than to High
land Park, and there will be IA COM
plant made AGAINST an action which
seems to the residents OF Highland
Park unfair.
Figures are not lacking in the areu-
ment of those who are advocating a
protest against the courts decision,
for they point out that there is a
greater amount of financial induce
ment made TO Ginter Park than should
be. Highland Park has as much tax
able property as has Ginter Park, and
still more inducements were made the
latter.
For instance the citizens point ont
that while Highland Park has already
built a fine school building for itself,
the city proposes to build one for the
sIliAtStANrst all HPFitP' i"'hpii - ~ w
made for n new Ginter Park bridge,
but what about a bridge for Highland
Park, where there is now toll
bridge for those who would come to
the city?
Again there Is sewerage and water
systems In Highland Park that the
town itself paid for, whereas Ginter
Park does not own it's systems of a
similar nature. and the city will doubt
t,s ff,f- has
TENS.
All told, tho Highland Park resi-
dents think they have a fullsized
crouch and will proceed 20 get to-
gether on July Fourth and lay plans
for their protest. TO the city,

MOTORCYCLE SMASHED
BETWEEN STREET CARS

trip 10 Richmond came near
proving fatal to at least one to drist
when two cars, one q Main street car
and the other a Clay street, caught
between them a motorcycle on which
was riding Mr.. George Snyder, OF
Akron. O.
While attempting to cross ahead OF
an eastbound Main street car, the
cyclist ran into a Clay street car
headed west. and the result was that
the motorcycle was badly smashed
and the rider barely escaped with his
life. BY reason of the fact that both
cars were moving at slow speed and
that he was able to stay between the
cars. Snyder escaped unhurt, but with
a smashed motorcycle.
