The struggle toward the consumma-
tion of this public improvement con-
tinued, but In 1907 no way had been
found for carrying out the plans.
These facts are clear from the fol-
lowing notice which appeared in the
Intelligencer of Monday. May 18. 1907:
Communicat tion:-At general meeting of the
citizens OF Washington a committee OF seven was
unanimously appointed to suggest the means
Of opening the canal from Tfber creek to the
Eastern branch. The following contains sum
beneficial undertaking.
Then follows a review Of the reasons.
principally commercial, why the canal
should be built, the interest which
George Washington felt in the project
was emphasized and the Potomac river
was referred to as the center of the
was sketched. and in that connection
1t was said: But at that period the
Potomac Company was at a stop for
want of resources and the city had
few Inhabitants on the Eastern branch
and a general despondency prevailed
from disappointments. failures and i'm
poverishment which 1t were now pain
full to look back upon" Latrobe's re-
port was quoted and the care and ac-
curacy with which the surveys Nhad
been made were urged. Then the
article continued: should this canal
be finished Washington city need not
envy London its Thames nor New York
it's North river. . Let us not
