Cape Cod Canal Charter Debate Before Harbor and Lands Committee
The Legislature's harbor and lands panel heard Robert Morse Jr for Tobey petitioners seeking a Cape Cod Canal charter. Morse argued public-interest tests, questioned Cape Cod Canal Company’s management and Capital, and defended Massachusetts men led Tobey group against foreign-backed rivals.
Cape Cod Canal charter debate emphasizes capable backers
A Massachusetts legislative hearing questions who should govern the canal project. Proponents argue the Cape Cod Canal Company, led by Lockwood and Ripley, offers real capital and tested leadership, while opponents warn of speculative schemes. They stress a cash funded charter with state supervision, timely action, and protection for Bourne and local interests.
Massachusetts Ship Canal Company Incorporation Outline
The amended draft bill by Mr. Morse creates the Massachusetts Ship Canal Company with $2,000,000 capital, scope to $5,000,000, and bonds equal to stock. It authorizes a canal from Burnard's Bay through Bourne and Sandwich to Barnstable Bay, with tolls, eminent domain powers, and protective measures for fisheries, bridges, and rail crossings under harbor land and railroad commissions. The measure requires $200,000 security, five year tax exemption, and completion within six months to avoid forfeiture.

Letter Corrects Impressions On State Printing Policy
William M. Applebel of the Boston B. T. U. No. 13 rebuts a Globe letter signed by Charles G. Wilkins claiming official committee stance. He clarifies the committee’s purpose to press for a state printing contract clause requiring payment of union wages to all workers, and asserts Wilkins exceeded his authority and misrepresents supporters of the lowest bid with or without a union clause. The letter defends fair treatment for workers and denies sweeping claims about women or apprentices affecting labor access.
