In is important in the event OF
the extension of the grounds OF the
Naval Academy, that our City Faith
ers secure in the transfer the right
of way TO the Severn river, and the
wharf property at the foot of Wag-
ner street. This is most impor-
tant interest to the city. In the
transfer Of this property Annapolis
will be cut off from all business
communication with this side of the
Severn river, and will be entirely
deprived of this important water
front. We hope, in the event OF
the amendent passing the House
and becoming law that our city
authorities will not overlook this
important water front of the city.
