tons in May last. and reported 10 the
board in June. This able and lucid re.
pori amply suslains The proprieiy and i'm
portance Of your inviting The attention Of
Congress to the opening an Inlet At that
point as national work Of the highest
importance. The resolutions claiming
the attention Of our Representatives and
Senator'S in Congress. were Forwarded 10
them. The Representative from The FIRST
district. 10 which Mays Head is situated.
gave the subject his prompt AMI unremi,-
ting attention. A copy Of the report and
nap Of the survey were also forwarded
TO the Representative from that district;

the session 20 be acted on.
Would IL no, be well again 90 urge this
work on Congress! am decidedly Of
the opinion iha, The enterprise Is among
the most important Of any in the United
Ssates-in a national point of view, in
the saving Of lives and vessels, and the
increase Of The revenue; and to the state.
in enhancing immensely the value Of the
lands and their products, and securing a
mart TO large section Of country. which
has now to seek one elsexhere at q great
ly increased expense and hazard. No
principle has been better established by
prsclice. than the. right and rroprieiy oil
the Federal Government IN execute works
of national importance; and none. in my
opini"n, is more clearly so in the United
States, Than opening an inlet ~ Mays
Head. II we turn TO The estimates Of the
War Department for improvements. we
shall find many vastly inferior, under The
patronage of the General Government.
