widening of the channel in Mobile bay, and
for the opening to navigation of the Tom
bigbee, Warrior and Black Warrior rivers
This would require the dredging and re-
moving of snags from the rivers and the
building of several more locks.
Nearly every argument which had been
advanced during the day was included In
the memorial. 1t recited that coal through
the proposed improved gateway could be
sold at Mobile cheaper than any other
seaport in the world; 1t also recited the
enormous demand there was in South
America and other countries for coal, and
the vast benefits to be derived by supplying
this demand. 1t likewise detailed how Ala
bama would then be in competition with
foreign countries and not alone with other
sections of this country.

The convention declined to make any
recommendation regarding the Warrior
canal, deciding that it was unwise to do
so in view of the fact that the report of
the survey had not been compiled, and
there was no definite estimate as to the
cost.
The convention before adjourning adopted
a resolution thanking the people of Tusca-
loosa for their hospitality and for the
courtesies shown the delegates.
