WANT THE WORK IN THE HARBoR.
The Engineer VIII Recommend the I'm
proyement of the River in Richmond.

The subcommittee from the Committee
on the Improvement of James River, con-
sisting of Messrs. CTenshaw. Curtis, Allen,
and Christian, which went to Baltimore to
see Colonel w. =. Craighill, the engineer
of the James-river Government work, has
returned to the city.
While the mission of these gentlemen
was hardly as successful as could have
been wished, still it was not barren of re-
suits.
The last river and harbor appropriation
bill does not allow work TO be done in the
harbor proper-that is, in that portion of
the river lying within the corporate limits.
1t was in regard to this that the visit was
made.
Colonel Craighill told the Richmond
gentlemen that under the provisions of the
bill as construed the work in the harbor
could not be done, but that if the Chamber
of Commerce would petition the Secretary
of the Navy in regard to the matter he
would gladly endorse it.
The subject will be brought up at the
next meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.
The services of the tug Craighill. Captain
Thomas Cunningham. will be dispensed
with after the 25th OF this month.
