tion to Free Canal Tolls.
(Wilmington Buroiiu of The Journal.)
Washington, April 21, After giving
much thought" to the subject, and dis
cussing It with various senators. Includ
ing O'Gorman of New York, who Is in
yniputhy with ltt, Senator Chamberlain
today Introduced a Joint resolution to
abrogateUhe Hay-Pauncefote and Clay-ton-Bulwtr
treaties, i,
' President Wilson . was asked about
Senator Chamberluln's Intention at hla
weekly conference with the newspaper
correspondents this morning, but he said
he had not r'ven the matter any con
sideration. The British embassy was
greatly exercised over the resolution and
secured an early copy of it .
.Senator Chamberlain said:
CrltloUes "Anglomanlacs." '
"If Anglomaniacs in this country are
continually to plead the cause of Great
Britain as against tho American aide of
the question. I believe It is time that
ihey should be given something to think
and talk about. At the same time I am
pretty certain the American people also
.will have-something to thlnkuand talk
about
"It Is rery easy Yor us of the Pacific
coast to sso the influences at the bottom
'of this whole British protest," continued
Chamberlain." "There never would have
been anything heard of sych a protest
had it not been for certain trtunk line
, roads, which have enlisted our trans
continental railroads Jii their Oehalf.
Xach Mni a Mil.
'Wa have had too many Anglomaniacs
in this country coming fo'.the support
of the BrlUali view. If we yield on one
phase of: the case We shall be called
vpon to yield on others. England says
so, frankly. If We accede to British de
mands regarding our right to exempt
our coastwise ships, then Great Britain
will protest that provision which pro
hibits the use of the canal to railroad
owned steamships. This is of equal im
portance to the country as it is through
this prohibition that we will control our
own international commerce. -., .;"
"With ,thdt proviso taken from the
Canal act, steamships of the Canadian
railroads will salt through the canal
from Atlantic ports to VictofTand
absolutely dictate what the rates of
railroads will be. The community of
Interest between American and Canadian
railroads Will indicate exactly what sort
of dictation that would be.
"It Is high time for an Illuminating
discussion of this whole question.- The
pro-British side has been too long be
fore the people unchallenged.",,

be shortened to 34 days under the com

are needed under the present charter to.,
get started on a street Improvement but
31 would be required under the com

The commission charter is intended to
end unnecessary delays, which now ex
asperate the petitioner for Improvement,'
by giving authority to act to the off i-
cials responsible for the work, by re
quiring full time service by a smaller
number of officials, and by providing
for weekly meetings of the commission '
where the council now meets but twice
a month. ' . - ;
It now takes n average of seven days .
to set the petition for a sewer no mat-

before the council.. The council meets
and refers the petition to the sewer com

tion to the city engineer. , The city en

the feasibility of constructing the sewer
in accord with tha petition.

again and favorable action means that
the city engineer will be Instructed to
prepaie plans and estimates. Records
show that this step requires two to four
weeks, depending on how busy the city,
engineer's office is. .'
Then follows ten days of advertising
the intention, to secure- the right to ,
construct 'the sewer. A remonstrance
may be filed within 20 days after the .
advertisement first appears, so this
adds ten days more of waiting, The two
periods together, la practice, ejual four
weeks of waiting, as the records show.
If there is no remonstrance the sewer
proposition goes to the executive board,
