LOUISIANA LOSES
FIGHT FOR CANAL
SUPREME COURT GIVES cARoN-
DELFT CANAL AND NAVIGA-
TON COMPANY A VICTORY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Westinghouse Louisiana wants
the Carondolet Canal and Navigation
Company's property, it will have to
buy it at the value set upon it by a
board of three experts, as provided in
the act of 1858. The United States
Supreme Court reversed the Supreme
Court of Louisiana in the matter.
To do so it went to the French YER
sion of the act of 1858 to find the an
tecedent for a vagrant "it" in the
fourth section, even as Judge Monroe
did, and came to the conclusion that
the word refers to the canal company
and not to the railroad authorized by
the act, but which was never built
According to the State Supreme
Court, that "it' referred to the rail
road and, under that construction, the
canal company was entitled only to
compensation for the railroad
This decision of the Supreme Court,
announced by Associate Jutice Nc
Kenna, disposes of the whole matter,
except the small piece of ground TAX
en- by the New Orleans Terminal Com
pany, and for which an award Of 49,
900 was made on appropriation proceed
ings. lnasmuch as the State Supreme
Court itself reserved the question as
to who owned that piece of land, it
could not be disposed of in the Fed
eral court.
The United States Supreme Court
disposed of every question raised by
Attorney General Pleasant in favor of
e. H. Farrar and Benjamin Waldo, at
torneys for the canal company. 1t
held that the decision of the state
court was finality, and therefore the
appeal was properly before the Unit
ed States court, and that the act Of
1906 impaired the obligation of the
contract entered into by and between
the state and the various companies
which went bankrupt between teh first
legislation, in 1905, and the final leg
islation, in 1858, under which the
canal was finally built.
1t is a sweeping victory for the
canal company. The part of the act
of 1906, repeating all laws or parts
of laws in conflict" with itself, the SUI
preme Court holds, was in itself an
impairment of the contract made by
the various acts under which the
canal company constructed the water
way known as the Carondolet Canal,
Old Basin and Bayou st. John.
