March 4th will remain the day for
the inauguration of the President, as

Report on Waterways. ,
In the report of the National '

The commission holds that the gov- j
eminent has no right or interest in
navigable waters which would auth- 1
orize a collection of tolls. The com- '
mission cannot see its way clear to
recommend a general power to fix
minimum rates, hut a majority of the
