The question of deep water is sgsin

has been ocessioned by Captain Fobes agree.
ing, for the SUN of Sj00,000 to dredge out
and maintain channel across the outer bar
OF twenty feet in depth, for five years. He
agreeing to dredgs the channel out in year
from the time ne commences operations.
With deep water, the future of Galveston is
fixed fact, and she will become the great
commercial emporium OF the Southwest;
without It h,r progress will be slow. The
amount demanded by Captain Fobes inCurs
no obligation unless the work is performed
satisfactorily. The amount demanded
scarcely exceeds the yearly tax levied upon
the products that are exported annually
in lighterage and other extra charges in
cured in transporting freight to vessels
lying in the outer-roals. Mr. H. SeeligsOn
strongly favors apublic meetingt to be held at

proposition before the people is the erection
Of parallel sea'walis One starting from
Ninth street, and skir!ing the north sho of
the island until the point is reached, and
then trending south across the
bar. The other line starts from
Bolivar Point and runs parallel with the
island wall; dredging is TO be employed

make Galveston one Of the first hsrbors in
the world and give the city ten miles Of
wharf front, which can be utilized for all
purposes. The scheme is magnificent one,
and therein lies its weakness. 1t will serve
good purpose if it keeps up the
