 Statement of Needed ImprOvements- AnAnchorage GrOund-Stamford's Inn
 ports.
 The needs of Stamford harbor as regards the improvement of the same by the general government are thus set forth in letter of reply to Mayor Mcfarland by Hon. James D. Smith, of Stamford:
 STAMFORD, Conn, Nov. 7th, 1883. Major Walter Mcfarland, Corps of Engi- neers, U. s. A, New Haven, Conn:
 My Dear Sir-I have yours of yesterday. The location of the desired improvement in Stamford harbor should begin from one eighth to one-quarter of mile inside of the Stamford lighthouse, forming 8 basin (having maximum depth of low water of nine feet) that would hold sixty vessels at anchorage. This is especially desirable and would be largely availed of by coasters to and from New York. Between New York and as far east as New Haven on the Connec- ticut shore, there are hardly any harbors in case of calms, fogs and storms that are a good refuge and safe for vessels navigating Long Island Sound. This would be great benefit to large class of seafaring men. From this basin a channel up to the entrance of the canal and to Mill river dam westward of Pine Island, which IS now the main chan | nell, having depth at low water of say five feet, and in the narrowest parts width of fifty feet-would complete the improvement much needed and desired by our citizens and by the public.
 The leading imports here are coal, lumber, ! brick, plaster, lime, cement, iron, Tagging, etc. To get to and from our docks, after \ entering our harbor, shippers always have to I anchor and wait for high water and fair ! winds Approximately I think with our ] very poor facilities the tonnage received at | this port is about 5o,O0O tous-last year. l Our population and business is increasing, and with proposed improvements would be greatly augmented within the next few years. ] The amount of capital in manufacturing i o,5,A other interests closely contiguous to our

 I could make an appeal personally to those l who give these matters shape. | I shall be glad to have your favorable re port, which will be much appreeiateo an0 gratefully acknowledged by
