It is an suxillary to ruil transportation that =hould make its appeal not only to those in New York wh) can make use of it but to any and all shippers: who have repson to use just such facilities. But while New York Is concerned with the success of s availably canal it is only natural that it should be anxious to have its merits set forth at this time when there 18 on foot the project to spend so many millions of dollars for the development of the §t. Lawrence waterway when it does not appear that full use is being made of a like serviee already established. To New York the Canadian project means a hard blow at the canal facilities which it has devel- Oped and when full advantage is not be- ing taken of them. Were it a fact that the barge canal was unable to take eare of business that was being offered it the sduation would be much different.
