The Canals Fate and a national weather omen in old Frederick
In Frederick, old beliefs link southern clouds to storms while a century old canal debate rages. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, begun 1826 and finished 1850 at great cost, faces abandonment and potential conversion to a waterway for small boats or even rail competition. The Sun notes the canal’s doom as millions invested may yield a “muddy ditch” unless revived, urging caution against politicizing the disaster.
