Uncle Sam to Own the Cape Cod Canal

and New England ports by some 60
miles, and so avoiding the graveyard
of ships on the ocean side of Cape Cod.
1t Is Is miles in length, with width
varying from 100 to 300 feet, and a
depth of % feet at mean low water.
The charter was granted by Massa-
chusetts June l, 1899; excavation was
begun June 90, 1900, and the canal was
opened July %, 1914. The cost of con-
struction has been estimated by en-
gineers at approximately S1.000,000 a
mile.
AS war measure the canal was
placed under the jurisdiction of the
railroad administration July %, 1916,
by order of President Wilson, and the
railroad administration operated it I'M
til February %, 1920. Since that time,
except for a short period, it has been
operated by the canal company.
The federal government instituted
eminent domain proceedings. After a
jury trial in the Federal District court
the canal company was awarded Sl6,-
sol POI as the price to be paid by the
government. This verdict was set
aside by the Court of Appeals. Confer
ences subsequently led to a tentative
offer by government officials of SILL
100000, which was accepted.

power, and never before have SO many
nations been officially represented at

The Action, which represents the
Catholic aristocracy of France, insists
that the death of the Pope finds the

This, it asserts, is emphasized by the
