The canals the United States of a free waterway through Currituck Sound, and the resulting! abandonment of the Dismal Swamp Canal. Your readers may therefore be interested, perhaps in the following extracts from a paper recently; read before two boards of United States engineers. "The feelection of either canal by the government will destrov the other canal as a channel of commerce and depreciate the value of all proper' y within its influence. For the most part of a century the two canals hfl forwarded the level opment of two states, by providing channels for the exchange of the'r products and supplies at low cost and protected against the hazzards of the sea, without adequate eompensa ion and without any profit to their pres ent owners. Since the advent of rail roads the canals have continued 'heir public and unrewarded service in the moderating influence of water com petition . Another public benefaction afforded by the canals, silent but inestimable, notably by the Dismal Swamp Canal is the drainage of lands; creating wealth by making possible the culti vation of farms and the removal of valuable timber from otherwise in accessible swamps. It Is now proposed to terminate the usefulness of one or both of the Ca alone are not to be considered, but the people and property above de scribed to you. There is no court so available as your -own in which all the ;peculiar circumstances can be set forth and whatever applications may consequently be made to Con gress for relief, must, primarily at least, be based upon your determina tion . Logically the situation can best be dissolved by buying both canals in corporating one of them in the -waterway, and maintaining the other tor the benefit of its public. To enable,, you. to fully understand what this means, and to whom, the people and proper ties shall be permitted to tell you al the facts as they understand them. To that and therefore, you are re spectfuHy asked m&mr&tSf decis ion as to the route of the waterway, until you have causeff a public hear ing to be had at Norfolk or other suitable place, and its results certified to yen. In no other way can your Board, and the Government through you, be so fully and correctly inform ed about the present and future con ditions in this complicated situation. The public hearing by a Board of Engineers is provided for in the River and Harbor Bill, now in process of en actment by Congress; and it will probably be held in Norfolk early in the summer.

Sure- y it is - not the purpose of govern ment to needlessly destroy. The cost of the free waterway will be that of construction plus the loss of value of property not falling within its benehcial influence; and somebody must pay the bill.
