after Secretary of War Garrison
had made the announcement that it
was unnecessary for us to take up
any time in discussing these ques-
lions, he dictated a memorandum re-
ferring the application for the appro-
val of the plans and permit to the en-
gineering department for examination
and consideration, upon public hear
ing at Chicago by the local engineer,
and in Washington by the board of en-
gineers for rivers and harbors and
then to be sent to the chief of en-
gineers and him for final hearing.
Both myself and counsel thereupon
rested confident in the assumption
that the engineering department was
to pass only upon the engineering fea-
lures of the project
Indeed, during the public hearing
at Washington it was announced by
the board of engineers through its
chairman, Colonel Black, as follows:
There are number of legal ques-
tons involved in the matter with
which the board has nothing to do.
and inasmuch as the time of the board
is valuable and your time is valuable
as well, we request you to confine
yourselves this morning to any argu-
ments you have to submit to the en-
gineering and navigation features,
which are the parts to be considered
by this board
Cause for Amazement.
Moreover, as | understand it, the
power and authority of the chief of
engineers and of the board of engi-
neers of the war department is con-
fined by the federal statutes to pass
ing upon engineering plans, which is
what the local engineer, the division
engineer, and the board of engineers
for rivers and harbors actually did.
Judge of our amazement then, to
find that on Jan. Is, without any not
ice to US and without any opportun-
ity to be heard, and contrary to the
instructions of former Secretary of
War Garrison, who had agreed to give
us hearing before finally determin-
ing the matter, the whole subject is
summariay disposed of by the chief
of engineers on two questions, Meth
er OF which are engineering prob
lens, and both of which had been
passed upon favorably to the state
OF Illinois by the Judge advocate gen.

"The Judge advocate general cor
rectly decided in accordance with the
law that the United States had no
control over the water power rights
developed by the build
ing of the waterway, and that such
rights were the property Of the state
of Illinois, and correctly decided that
the state had the right to impose rea-
sonable tolls for the use of the inn
proved waterway until paid for.
Moreover, the policy Of the federal
government, in so far as the canal
connecting the Chicago river and the
Illinois river is concerned, has been
to permit the collection Of tolls. The
Illinois and Michigan canal, con-
structed by the state Of Illinois pur-
suant to authority given by the fed
eral government, was permitted to
charge these tolls in the state of Illi-
nois for three-quarters of century,
and is now doing so without any OBJ
lection from the war department of
the United States.

"The chief of engineers in his mem
