Improvement ofthe saco River.
Al. 4 =


The citizens of Saco and Biddeford and all
persons interested in the navigation and i'm
provement OF Saco River are under deep obli-
CATION to Hon. John Lynch, M. g. from this
District, for his earnest, judicious and success
ful efforts to secure this appropriation; in this
as in all other matters, he has labored efficient
ly to advance the wishes and interests of his
constituents. The River and Harbor Bill had
passed the House (tcittout the item in which
we are principally interested) before our pe-
titions were received for presentation, but, at
the request of Mr.. Lynch, Senator Morrill, re-
ported this ($40000 for our river) as Senate
amendment to the bill. Our Senators, Messrs.
Fessenden and Morrill,, as well as the Repre-
sentatives from Maine, have aided in the pas
sage OF this appropriation; to Mr.. Morrill,, we
are indebted for its passage through the Sem
ate; it has, however, been especially the care
of Mr.. Lynch, as representing this District, to
watch after and urge on its progress.
We are not aware that the official report in
the Congressional Globe will show that MIR.
Lynch did anything more than to record his
silent vote in favor OF the appropriation; but
he did in fact do very much more This is
the only appropriation contained in the River
and Harbor Bill not based upon a survey and
recommendation of the War Department: the
Coast Survey have nothing to do with these
appropriations, and Mr.. Chandler of Michigan.
Chairman of the Committee on Commerce.
refused to allow any amendment to the bill,
other than this one of ours, to be made unless
based upon the recommendation of the War
Department. AlH 81 n
Had Mr.. Lynch chosen to make and frank
to the citizens of Saco and Biddeforda a rhetor-
ical, oratorical, high-sounding, high-falutin
speech in favor of this amendment, taking oc-
casion to pass glowing eulogy upon his ma
tive State and her hardy seamen, and upon
the part she had borne in the late war, &C.,
making invidious comparisons with other
States, he could have very easily defeated the
appropriation; the people of these towns
might, in that event, have been entertained
with the elaborate Grafton of Sour member
but they would also have had the satisfaction
of knowing that it killed the very measure it
assumed to advocate.
Mr.. Lynch had faith in the conclusion of
Solomon's experience, that "there is time to
keep silence" as well as "a time to speak," and
by unostentatious but persistent and well di-
rected effIrts he has secured for us this appro-
priation. This District never had, nor could
it ask, a more faithful, efficient and capable
representative in Congress than Mr.. Lynch.
