ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., July Is, 1897.
Local yachtsmen are interested in sur
vey of the inlet channel. now being made
by corps of engineers, under the direction
of Major Raymond, district engineer in
charge of coast surveys and improvements.
The purpose of the survey is to ascertain
If the channel can be deepened, and what
effect jetties would have in accomplishing
this object. The idea is to make the chan
mel deep enough to permit large coasting
vessels, thus providing them with a har-
Dor of refuge during the storms that pre-
vail off the Jersey coast. The improve
n.ent is admitted to be much-needed one,
ard it is thought that Major Raymond $
report this time will be favorable, although
he has already rendered two adverse re-
ports, based on previous surveys.
The corner stone of the Peoples Church,
new structure at Arctic and Missouri
avenue. was laid Wednesday with impress
