Plan for canal use by federal government suggested
J Franklin Bell, engineer for the District of Columbia, urges the government to acquire the canal lands along the Potomac and Great Falls hydro electric projects. He argues the Maryland side development is blocked by Baltimore and Ohio Railway’s ownership and that a negotiated purchase could avoid condemnation. The goal is to unlock public parks and water supply opportunities while preventing a rival railroad from paralleling the line.

Snake Eats Eggs Then Is Killed by Farmers
A six foot black snake, after eating two eggs from a hen house on the Alsip farm at Bondsville, was killed by visiting men while Mrs. Sallie Alsip was away. She heard chicks cackling, found the reptile with an egg in its mouth and another egg missing. The farmers shot the snake after alarms were raised. In Ponca Court, Ernest Peterson paid a $1 fine for assault and Frank Kriner received ten days in jail for another assault. Justice Middlehout gave the sentences as defendant George Rider pleaded for leniency due to hospital treatment needs. The record notes Paterson’s intoxication at the time.
