data and strong insfsfence IN aTgu-
fnenf Annapolis would not have long
TO wait for n deep waterway, available
for commercial craft, as we'll as war
vessels. This place wOuId thus BE-
come IN a special sense the shipping
port Of the Government, wilerefOT IL
would be landed and from II trans
ported such things a. might be needed
a. home or sent elsewhere IN accord
ance with widening plans and opera
lions for the development ~ n great
naval power.
IN conclusion. let the start in this
new era of hope. initiative and action
be imdiciousIy made, and Annapolis
will grow apaec, 50 as not 10 suffer BY
comparison with the cities at the other
ends Of the triangle. Let IL view them
emuIOBsIy from its apex, az it grows
in self-reliance and independence. II
will then be prepared To do its Own
manufacturing, instead Of depending
on Baltimore. Moreover, IL will take
tire requisite steps 10 supply with
needed merchandise the country and
towns naturally tributary 10 il. In
this state Of affairs a new capitol
building and court house would be in
order. as we'll es a Grst-clasg hotel
and they would come. Vigilance and
sound Judgment, backed by energy
and perseverance, would place Annap-
oils well in the van Of present mu-
nicipal Development, making IL see
ord only 10 Baltimore as a CONNER
eial center on flIe bay. Are the peO-
pie prepared - meet the needs and
take advantage Of the opportunities
facing them IN this new eraz II they
are BOw Is the time for the har1 wOFg
and self-sacriGce demanded as the price
o. q bright and prosperous future.
Faithfully yours,
WILLIAM HOYNES.
