And whereas similar reports have been made by
boards of competent engineers, appointed by the
Government of the United States, which show the
entire practicabilty of improving the harbors of
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Baltimore, and
Richmond, and the estimates by them prepared
for the purposes do not involve any very large

and liberal action of Congress. and particularly to
the earnest support of all the representatives of the
South and West.
