Ready To Reopen The Canal.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal will
resume operations on May LIST on an ex-
tensive scale. according to an announce
ment from Vice-President G. L. Nicholson,
Of the Towage Company. Coal will be
hauled from Cumberland to Georgetown,
and on the return trip sand and gravel, to
be used in the million and a. half dollar
hydro-electric plant of the Potomac Public
Service Company. at Williamsport. will be
hauled. Boatmen have been instructed
to put their boats, many of which are
badly in need of repair, in condition for
service.
With the announcement of the plan OF
the T0waee Company TO reopen the water
way this season came rumors that this
may be The last season that the waterway
is operated for freight service 1t is said
that big railroad company may purchase
the right Of way and run a double-track
system from Cumberland to Washington.
1t is said that the Rockefeller interests
have their eyes upon this waterway.
According to an estimate made by boat
men, only about seventy-odd serviceable
canal boats can be mustered into service
this summer out Of feet Of some 600
during the canals palmiest days. With
the railroads unable to handle the volume
of freight because of the car shortage
there is every indication that there will
be plenty Of work for all canal boats that
are in running order.
Water will be turned into the cana
about April LIST. A large force Of men ha,
been working on the waterway during the
winter. Strengthening weakened places ir
the banks and repairing locks. and ne
trouble through breaks. such as was ex
perienced last year, is anticipated thi,
summer.
