Buzzards Bay, Mass., March 1.— The Cape Cod canal was closed today as a result of a controver: over its ownership. Pilots and bridge tenders were with- drawn when the railroad administra- tion relinquished control at midnight and Boston, Cape Cod and New York Canal Co., former owners, had issued wo orders today to resume operations. Captain H. F. Colberth, general manager, said he would refuse pass- age to vessels for lack of authorit He expresscd the opinion however, that the siiuation would be ended soon by instructions which may have been delayed by storm belated mails. i There were no vessels awaiting ad- mission at either entrances of the canal this morning but the general manager said he anticipated a large number during the day. Only in an emergency he thought would the canal be operated until he received definite orders. Mails by Ferry Mails were delivered by ferry this morning but otherwise the canal ceased functions. The canal was ready for orders to restart work at short notice. The effect of the gov- ernment’s order relinquishing control Cautain Colberth explained was that of a ship placed out of commission with fires drawn but with the crew standing by. The difference beteween the gov- ernment and the canal company grew out of the guestion of the value of the canal. Governmen* Seized Waterway. Unable to agree on a purchase price the government seized the canal by the right of eminent domain and entered suit to have a jury fix the price. The jury set the value of the canal at approximately $16.000,- 000. The government had offered $8,250,000 for the canal. An appeal { from the jury award was taken and is now pending. Governor Coolidge today sent to Secretary Baker a telegram asking { that the canal be continued in opera- tion by the government to relieve the i coal shortage. P i Washington Explain.
