FOR HARB0R AT BRUNSWICK.
Committee VIII Give St25.OOO for

Washington. Dec. T.-The House Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors Is going
to give an appropriation Of ti25.oo0 for the
inner harbor at Brunswick. and will. in
all probability. appropriate $4,000 for the
outer bar
II will be recalled that Capt Gnlettes

er bar estimated that 20 produce a chan
mel % feet deep and 200 fset wide by

tlmatcd that it would cost 0sco0 TO main.
tain the present channel $1,000 70 gee an
additional foot OF water and s4.0o0 10

The committee has decided against the
purchase Of a dredge. and In the bill
which u has stiil IN procehs of construc-
ton. has put an item OF 5000 Tor work
there. As Il would take some time TO
build a dredge. Congressman Brantley
ard Col Lester, who are looking out for
the Brunswick appropriation. are ot che
opiulon that one is not material. But
they are working with the committee 70
secure st least 5000 TO be expended upon
che outer bar II Is probable the com.
m4ttee will place that figure IN the
Hc.se bill. but n Il does not, Senator
Clay will see that u gets on when the
bill is before the Senate Commerce Com
vnstee, Of which he is a member.
The appropriation of $1,000 for the in-
mar harhor Al Brunswick is very much
more than has ever h@en expended there
heretofore and means much to the splen-
