AcQUlsI ton OF
CAPE COD CANAL,
UP ONCE NOR 7:
Coolidge Favors - Doesn't
Pay Profits, but Big
Price Wanted.
Times WqshtnGton BwreGW.

WASHINGTON, March 5.wThe
IQnestton Of Government acquisition
Of the Cape Cod Canal, which has
vexed the Government for ten years,
is again up for settlement.
Representative Freeman Of Con-
necticut, has introduced bill ratify-
ing contract which War Secretary
Weeks executed in 1921, under
which the government would pur-
chase the canal for $11,500,0O
The canal, eight miles long, runs
across Cape Cod, cutting the sea
distance via Boston to New York
by 66 miles and eliminating the
necessity for vessels to make the
pe11lous passage outside the cape.
It was completed in 1914 and was
taken over by the Government as a
war necessity in 1918. In 1920 the
Government sought to turn it back
with the other property taken over
by the Railroad Administration, but
its owners declined 1t,
Juy's Price
The Government already had
offered $8,250.0Oo for the canal and
had been spurned. Then, under
condemnation proceedings in 1920,
a jury held the canal worth $16,801,-
900, which was not satisfactory to
the Government.
Ell Then came the Weeks contract. A
bill ratifyfng this contract passed
the House last session, but got no
further. President Coolidge in his
annual message recommended Gov
eminent ownership and the present
Freeman bill was introduced.
The committee has held hear
tngs and has investigated thorough
~ the probable cost Of improve
ment deemed necessary, which would
he several million dollars. The prob
able cost Of operation, estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000 yearly,
and the purchase Of 9S2 acres of
land included in the Weeks con-
tract also have been investigated
Reluctance Of the canal owners
to take back their property Is at
>tributed to the fact that the canal
Is not a paying project commercial
". Importance Of the canal is shown
by the fact that in 1924, 5,4S9 YES
sells passed through 1t, with a ton
mage of 3,224,000 and total value,
ships and cargo, of more than
a$9oo,O00,OOo.

after the Fenning charges were
made on the floor of the House.
Last night at the District sub
committee investigation crowd Of
more than 800 spectators applauded
wildly when the hearing closed with
a vigorous demand for the removal
Of Fenning and DIR. White.
A new charge was brought
against Commissioner Fenning
when It was alleged that he is
acting rs agent for . leading
national bonding company while
serving as District Commissioners
prescribing regulations under
which such companies. must OPP
crate in the District.
New Charge Made
Representative John c. Schafer
wisconsin, also charged that Fen
ming Is receiving commissions on
bonds which he makes I'm guardian
shin cases I'm which he himself is
the guardian, thus receiving double
commissions.
"It Is not compatible with public
interest for q Commissioner Of the
District Of Columbia 20 act an guard
ian for mental incOlnpetemts while In
his official capacity he also acts as
committing officer" Representative
Schafer declared.
Neither Is it compatible with pub
lie interest for him to sit as District
Commissioner while at the same time
he acts as agent Of the bonding CON-
pany and knocks down fees on this
business.
Conditions Unbelievable
1T is almost unbelievable that in
the Nations Capital such a shame
full monopoly can exist"
When Schafer concluded his ar
raignment Representative Thomas
l.. Blanton, Of Texas. asked: 'Mr.
Schafer. do you not think that after
we have shown collision between
him and DR.. White for % years that
they should both be thrown out OF
Officer
1T would have thrown them out

Schafer replied angrily. The throng
applauded for several minutes.
Representative Schafer testified
that Fenning had collected $1.l0S
from a World War veteran whom
he has not seen for five years,
and who, in 1920, was removed
from the District to Wisconsin for
disqualification.
