A copy will be forwarded to the Governors of this State and New York for their respective signatures also to the Mayor of New York and notable citizens there interested in Sound navigation, before forwarding the documents to Washington. l One of the principal objects of the same | is to secure the completion of the work com | menced by Prof. Bache in this vicinity some years ago under the direction of the late | Superintendent 0. P. Patterson, of the U' s. coast survey; also to secure similar work all along the coast of Long Island Sound for a distance of ten miles inland on either shore from high water mark.
