RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Condition of the Work Il This lime
Contractors are Slew.
PROGRESS is UNSATISFACTORY
Efforts To Be Put forth FOT Iurlher Apprc-
prialipn.

More than two years ago Council
man +. ". Mills, chairman oil
the Public luter,st Committee OF
the City Council, aud \. i. Rowe.
chairman of the Public Interest Com
mittee Of the Business Mems Association,
Jointly took an active interest ia tie"
matter of improvement To the Kappa
hammock river at this place, aud III con
junction with Congressman W. \. Jones
succeeded in creating "a general interest.
After PERSISTENT attention aud hard
work. the result was IN increasrdappro-
priation from the L. ;. Government.
amounting to "A total OF $50 900, Tor the
Improvement OF the harbOr here and thu
channel of the river lower down, which
were in need Of prompt attention and
great deal OF work Contracts were
given ont by the government for the first
two appropriations aggregatlng SOD
600 To Il Philadelphia Dredging Co.,
which was sublet 10 Risley Son, al
Atlantic City. These contractors have
spent more than two years on thus work,
and it il not yet completed. IL should
have been finished in less than twelve
months. but for some reason the govern
ment has allowed the work To drag along
through months and months, in n man
ner which has never been tolerated 10y
the l.. 5. Engineering Office heetoiore.
This condition of affairs is To be- greatly
deplored. as il will seriously handicap
the efforts OF the gentlemen referred 10 ia
securing further appropriations. IL L.
hoped, therefore, that those IA charge
of the improvements here Will Sce that
the present work on the river will be-
pushed forward with a. littln delay ~
possible, so that proper efforts can br
made for futup dredging OF the river
Notwithstanding contractors have been
working on the river for months, tie
work has been 40 slow that the channel
is still in bad condition, and needs atten-
ton AT the hands Of the engineering
corps. only big appropriations ana
good and prompt work can put u ia
proper condition, and it will take regu-
lar appropriations and systematic work
toy the government To Keep IL IN good
order for navigation.
