Mr.. Walsh dwolt at length upon the
commercial advantages which this city
should derive from the canal Tho
canal will be open from New York to
Fort Henry by the middle of May,
1910 and it is estimated that boats can
make the round trip from New York
in 10 days. The canal will probably
remain open for navigation eight
months of the year.
To make the canal a paying PROPOSE
tion, said the speaker, it must have
sufficient tonnage. He suggested that

Tho question of public terminal for
Burlington was also discussed and
also the question of securing the co..
operation of the railroads. Mr. Walsh
thought that a public terminal was
necessary in order for the city to
benefit by the canal and this viii be
ono Of the questions considered by the
committee. The speakers were given
a vote Of thanks by their hearers.

NOT YET COMPLETED.
Workmen Still Employed on Big
Break in C. & O. Canal.

Though work has been pushed with
large force of men, working twenty
four hours a day. the big hole made by
a slide in the bank of the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal at Deep pool, about
two weeks ago. has not yet been
closed. General Manager Nicholson of
the canal company, who returned from
the break Friday night, states that the
repair work will be completed tonight
or tomorrow morning. AS soon as the
bank is again solid water will be let
into the canal, but it will require over
forty EIGHT hours to fill the portion of
the waterway drained by the accident,
and it will be the latter end of the
week before the loaded boats begin to
arrive at Georgetown.
The break is the largest one that has
ever occurred in the many years the
canal has been in operation. and was at
a point where the waterway forms a
lake. about two miles long. from 500 to
1900 feet wide and eighteen feet deep
at its deepest point. So great is the
by the canal banks that after the
break occurred it was two days before
the water ran out and work started
The hole in the bank was.240 feet long
and about thirty feet deep. so that the
canal company has had hard prop
osition to fill it.
The cause of the break is not exactly
known. Less than two hours before
the break occurred level walker
passed over the spot and found the
towpath solid.
