w YASHINGTONIANS will lose
M a favorite Summer retreat
Wv and gain an ultra-modern
v highway il Traffic Director
William Van Duzer has his way. He
recently proposed to Congress con-
struction of a thoroughfare along the
bed of the historic Chesapeake g.
Ohio Canal, born from George WASH
ingtons dream and inaugurated by
John Quincy Adams as the most i'm
portant incident of his life"
The director says that something
must be done Immediately to relieve
Georgetown traffic congestion. He
holds construction over the canal of
a four lane highway, built for fast,
continuous travel, and connecting
with Key Bridge by ramps, is the logi-
cal solution
Peoples Counsel w. A. Roberts
heartily indorses Mr.. Van Duzers
plan. He regards the Government as
the rightful owner of canal property,
since he believes the Chesapeake &
Ohio Co. forfeited its franchise by dis
continuing operation of the Inflated
waterway.
Canal trustees, on the contrary, hold
that the District can acquire the de-
sired portion of the canal only by
purchase or through joint action OF
the Federal Government, Maryland
and Virginia.
The company's ancient rights to
exclusive development of the Potomac
and to freedom from tax levies and
condemnation proceedings may thwart
Van Duzer's plan just as they did the
embryonic P. v. A.
From Georgetown to Cumberland,
Md, the waterway winds its leisurely
course for 1856 miles into the heart Of
the Blue Ridge. 1t parallels the Poto-
mac through scenes Of unsurpassed
natural beauty. Seventy-five locks of
cut stone bridge its descent Of $50 feet
from the Alleghenys to the District.

passage at two "slackwaters." An
cient foot bridges dot the District
portion Of the canal. :.
Today only ghosts Of barges dis
turb the olive-green peace Of the old
waterway, on which hundreds OF bus
Ting boats once bore rich cargo to
Georgetown. Frogs croak from the
canals weedy depths. On the south
bank, blackberries and honeysuckle
have made a narrow nature-lovers'
lane of the old towpath, worn by
thousands of patient barge mules. The
last bearded lockkeeper has deserted
his little whitewashed cottage, and
left the staunch locks to rot and rust.

hill or climbed neighboring trees to
view the picturesque scene.
They considered it q truly epoch
making occasion. II regard this event
as the most important incident In my
life," Adams announced when the
president of the canal company gave
him the "consecrated instrument"
with which to institute canal excava-
ton. Roots foiled his nrst spade
thrusts. Whereupon he removed his
waistcoat and attacked the job with
characteristic pugnacity. When the
cheering subsidized, the cabinet mem
berz, diplomats and the mayors Of
Washington and Georgetown each dug
his spadeful solemnly to inaugurate
the waterway.

and Virginia for additional loans or
capital.
Horse-drawn trains had long since
thrilled spectators along the B. & Q.
route. The railroad reached Cumber-
land in 1842 and the Ohio River soon
afterward. It directly penetrated the
bituminous region and its low freight
rates attracted most of the coal trade.
Nevertheless, dreams OF CONNER
cial supremacy of the c. g. o. Canal
stirred again, when it finally reached
the Cumberland coal region In 1850.
The president and directors OF the
company and Maryland and George
town officials assembled there on Oc-
tober 10. Amid formal ceremonies.
water was admitted into the western
level of the canal and artillery saluted
as five boats carrying the famed bi-
luminous started for Eastern markets.
Canal enthusiasts spoke with renewed
courage of reaching the Ohio, but the
waterway was never carried beyond
Cumberland.
Estimates have placed the traffic
carried by the canals proud fleet OF
1000 barges as high at 100000 tons
a year, and in 1873 1t transported
1000 tons Of coal.
Throughout the Civil War the an
cient waterway flowed undisturbed by
Gen. Early's raid on Washington and
Confederate attempts to destroy its
sturdy locks, only to fall victim to
Maryland's political chickering's. In
the 70s and 80s financiers attempted
to ruin the C. & o. Co. to secure its
right of way for the West Virginia
Central Railroad.
Graft" mismanagement and rail-
road competition caused canal revenue
to dwindle steadily, while frequent re-
pairs, necessitated by Potomac floods,
made expenses exorbitant. After
July, 1854, no interest was paid on
the bonds issued to complete the canal.
The freshet Of 1877 almost ruined
the waterway, but Maryland author
lied q new bond issue for repairs. The
receiver, appointed after the violent
food In 1889, reported that profitable
operation of the damaged waterway
was impossible. Nevertheless, bond
holders insisted on having the canal
repaired and reopened and it kept
hauling coal at q loss until three
heavy Spring freshets in 1924 dealt
it a death blow.
With commercial use past, the wise
old c. a. o. Canal became q haven
from the crowds and noises OF the
machine age which had discarded it.
Local artists found inspiration in its
moss-grown lockhouses. Meditative
fishermen discovered it an ideal "hole, :"
where one is rarely disturbed by .
bite" Canoeing lovers and picnick-
ing families sought its refuge from
the :steaming Summer air Of Washing
ton. Perhaps the future win bring 1t

The tung blossom celebration at
Gainesville, Fla, in 1881, was the

probably in the world. 1t does not

Immediately the long struggle over
right of way up the Potomac Valley
began between the C. 61 o. and the
B. g. o. Early litigation placed the
railroad at the canal company's mercy.
However, bankruptcy soon forced that
organization to agree to allow building
of the railroad along with the canal in
order to obtain funds. Eventually rail-
road progress far outstripped canal
construction.
Passenger boats were running on the
canal form Seneca to Georgetown by
1881. 1t was completed to its juno
ton with the old City Canal at Seven
teenth street and west almost to
Harpers Ferry in 1881. A contem-
porary Metropolitan issue describes
a canal boat party at which Andrew
jackson entertained his famous
Kitchen Kabinet" and so guests. with
music by the Marine Band. Old
Hickory may have opposed internal
improvements, but he shared all
Washington's delight in an adventurous
canal trip. For years afterward Dis
trict picnickers regarded canal
excursions to Great Falls as exciting
events. Entering lock and waiting
for the water to raise the boat to canal
level was all part Of the fun.
President James Polk was one Of the
famous boaters who added to the old
waterways store Of historic gossip.
Some of his guests evidently proved
too much even for that patient stream.
There Is story that on one outing his
companions were discussing the COM
ing campaign with profane vene-
mence. WELL" said two opponents
simultaneously, "X Is splendid candi-
date and I'll stand up for him any
time. Whereupon both were knocked
nat on the deck, as their barge passed
quickly under one of the gnarled trees
bordering the canal.
MEANWHILE, Chesapeake and
A'A Ohio builders met obstacle after
obstacle. Labor troubles. Legal tan
giles. Bankruptcy. Again and again
came the cry Of funds. funds. funds.
Ten times between 1882 and 1850, the
canal company petitioned Maryland
