wATERwAYs oONvENTION


BALTIMORE. Nov. 17-Delega-
tons from all the states along the
Atlantic seaboard gathered In Raltl-
more today at the opening or the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Conven-
ton. Congressman J. Hampton
Moore. Of Pennsylvania, Il president
Of the association. and the delegates
include many distinguished men.
One OF the most gigantic water
ways projects ever preached il rec
commended by the association, which
was organized for the purpose OF
impressing upon the government the
necessity for an inland waterway
from Boston to Key West. The as
sociation's plans provide for the OPP
ening Of ship canlls and deepening
Of intervening rivers and approaches
from Norfolk. Va. southwark to Key
West. Fla. from Chesapeake bay to
Delaware bay. and from the Della
ware river to the Raritan river, and
across Cape Cod.
The purpose Of the convention is to
intensity interest In the objects ex-
pressed In the resolutions adopted
at the Philadelphia conference last
November; to report progress In the
movement for a continuous chain OF
canals from Boston to Key West, and
to impress upon the federal congress
the appeal OF representation OF sO,-
O00,0 people for q government APP
preparation making possible the near
accomplishment Of the project.
The convention is the first one OF
the association. as the meeting held
last year In Philadelphia was more
of an organizing conference. II Is
probable that next year the conYen-
tiOn will be held in Norfolk. The
trade organizations there are said to
be enthusiasts over the movement.
Congressman Moore explained
that the purpose Of the association
is not to interfere with the efforts
Of any one section in getting appro-
priations for the betterment of it's
harbors and waterways. and that II
is to promote cooperation OF all dis
tricts to further uniform develop
ment. II is planned to secure the ul-
innate construction OF an inland
waterway along the entire Atlantic
coast. Mr.. Moore told OF the lives
that are lost, the ships that are
wrecked and the time lost because
Of the rough seas and dangerous
coasts and pointed out the strategic
value of an inland waterway in time
OF war.
Thousands OF dollars will be ex-
pended by Baltimore business men
in entertaining the delegates during
the three days Of the convention.
the program including an excursion
that will take in all the local water
ways and their approaches.
