Canal area debate pits sportsmen against speedway plan
A Frederick area meeting of Izaak Walton League and allied groups opposed a proposed automobile expressway along the old C and O Canal from Cumberland to Washington. They called for a Western Maryland mass meeting to urge a survey of the canal right of way now held by the federal government and pressed for state action to recover it. The gathering warned the project would ruin 184 miles of Potomac River flats, a prime duck hunting and wildlife sanctuary, and criticized Beall's Parkway plan as wasteful and dangerous to Maryland's natural resources.
