The report calls attention to the uselessness for purposes of navigation to that portion of the canal between Rock creck and 17th street west, In the city of Washington, and recommends that a com- mildee be appointed to consider the advisability of selling this part of the work, and applying the pro- ceeds to a sinking fund for the redemption of the repair bonds issued under the act of 1878. At the annual meeting on June 6, 1881, the Aent and directors were cuthorigad to dispose of repair bonds issued under the act of 1878 to an amount not ex- ceeding $250,000, for the purpose of lengthening the locks of the Ganal, or to use the current reve- nue, or both, for this object. Materlal was pur- chased and’ other arrangements made for the lengthening of 20 locks by the 1st of April, but the Voard found it tinpossibie to gel any considerable amount of the bonds at thelr face value, and this, with the reduced revenue of the canal, prevented the lengthening of more than fourteen locks, which will be ‘completed by the Ist of April Though the direct benefit from this expendi- ture Cannot be realized until at least nincteen More of the locks have been lengthened, the board consider that tie improvement will result in sub- stantial benefits, 9g has been found to be the cane in other canals.’ Referring to the Governor's re- commendation to the legistature that the act of 1878 be 0 atnendod as to prevent the Issutng of the repair bonds, except to repilr damage tg original work, itis declared that, with such a recommend- ation, it wil! be imposible to dispose of these bonds hereafter at any fair price. To continue the improvements commenced, the board must depend upon the revenue of ‘the canal, unless they shall be authorized to fssue toll’ certifi- cates, to be disposed of to the coal companies or tO those interested in the repair bonds, under the act of 1844. With the latter arrange: ment the nineteen remaining locks could be completed before the opening ‘of navigation in 1883, and it ts suggested that the subjeot he referred to a spect: committee to confer with the hollers Of the bonds of 1844. ‘The cost of repur of diumage Dy tood of 1877, $228,500.21. and the whole number of repa'r bonds of 1878 sold and outstanding on the Ast of Jannary. 189% wos $134,000, leaving a bal- ance of $104,500.21, which the board ts advised it has the right to sell to replace the expenditures for damages. In addition to the bonds sold there are $100,000 Gepostted as collateral security for temporary loans. Alt tothe contract made in March, 1877, with the Cumberland and Georges Creek railroad company and the American and Maryland coal companies, it ts explained that the completion of the rail in the time limited was ot easence of the contract, and that the road not being finished in the time specified, the board was of opinion that it could rant “no exten- sion without authority of the of public works and the of the canal, and that they were bound as trustees to demand full tolls. They proposed, however, to the coal eampantes that they shor pay, only the amount acknowl to be due, the balance for future arbitration or decision. This p) tion the rafl- road and coal companies rejected, and have brought suit in the circuit court of Alleghany County to enforce the contract. ‘The answer to their bill 1s subraitted to the stockholders, and it is suggested that the matter be referred to'a speqdal committee, 80 that the subject may be present in detail by the parties interested. The amount paid by the American and Maryland coal come nies during 1881 was at the rate of 40 cents a ton and 4 cents wharfage. ‘These various stions are made now to give the stockholders oppor- tunity for their consideratign before the annual m .
