Redheld Approves
Great System of
~. 5. Owned Canals
Wants Government to Take
Over Cape Cod and G. &
d. Waterways at Once

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-A system
OF government owned deep sea level
canals extending from Massachusetts
to the South Atlantic States is recon-
mended in a report submitted to the
Senate to-day by Secretary Redhcld in
response to resolution adopted last
July.
Such action would not only be of
wide commercial value, but would be
Of great military value as we'll. said
Secretary Redfield in letter accom-
panying the report
In the opinion of the department
the time for action has come" he
added
ut. has been found" Secretary Red
field reported, chat the Cape Cod
Canal is modern and efficient in most
respects and that with a moderate
widening and deepening it would ac
commodate practically all the coast
wise traffic now going around Cape Cod.
Similarly the location of the present
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal has
been found to be the best suited for
the construction of deep sea level
canal. Only in the case of the canal
across New Jersey would an entirely
new route be required for the present
and prospective needs of the country's
commerce.
"These canals would provide the onlv
connections that are needed to make a
practically continuous system of deep
lntra- coastal waterways extending from
Boston to Norfolk, with extensions of
lesser but vet available depths to Beau
fort, n. c., and via the New York State
barge canal to the Great Lakes.
"This system Of waterways would
serve the most populous and most high
ly developed industrial sections of the
country and would add what our rail-
roads do not now and cannot COM
mercially provide-a great continuous
and efficient through highway of trans
portation extending from East New
England to the South Atlantic States.

Swami Says Time
Has Arrived to
Cancel Franchises
Original Owners Must Be
Made to Give Adequate
Car Service, He Says

District Attorney Swami declared
yesterday that it was time for the city
to demand adequate service from it's
transit companies or surrender of the
! franchises under which they operated
lhcse franchises, obtained free, were
harmed out" by certain families, he
SAID, the public footing the bill. He
urged prompt and we'll considered &C
uon. lest the companies "seek the pro-
lection of an accommodating court and
nave tho present officers of the lessee
company appointed receivers"
In reply to the statements bv the
railway officials that they cannot nav
their obligations and make a reason
able profit for their stockholders if
they arc required to give adequate ser
vice the District Attorney said:
"Thc car lines arc run on franchises s.
falmcd out for hire by those to whom
the franchises were given by the city
tor nothing. The grantees Of the fran
chIscs are under legal obligation to
supply adequate car service or forfeit
the franchise.
Nov is the best time to strike and
get those franchises for the people, If
the companies get the 7-cent fare
be another chance to remedy the pres
cnt condition.
Franchises Farmcd Out
"1nstead of supplying service, the
franchises are farmcd out to others for
large sums of money to be paid an
nually, and these sums become fixed
carfares for a right which the city gave
for nothing
"The Madison Avenue line pays out
annually 100000 to family whose
members own the stock of the old New
York & Harlem Railroad Company,
tor the privilege of running their cars
over the Fourth Avenue, under a per-
pctual charter that was granted to the
old New York e. Harlem Railroad in
1881. The Madison Avenue line has
agreed to pay this price out of the
moneys collected for fares for a period
of 9o9 years.
"Those who have this paper legal
right to exact this tribute Of the peo-
pie tor 999 years render no service
whatever to the public for, the money
they get for use of the public street.
Another corporation controlled by an
other family receives S2l5,0O0 per an
mum for granting the privilege to the
Eighth Avenue line to use Eighth Ave
nue..
"The franchise holders. handed down
to three generations, will not operate
cars themselves and refuse to let 9th
ers operate cars on these streets un-
less they are paid tribute for the use
of the streets.
"Thesc people, who eighty years ago
were given the exclusive right to use
public street, ought to be called upon
to operate road in compliance with
the obligations of their franchise, and
in case of their failure to do so the
franchise should be forfeited under
the doctrine of non-user.
