work in Sapelo sound and another

tilla river. the local engineeIs " il
b. busy for the next two months. and
upon taeir report depends much as
to the future Of the Satilla river
At the last session of congress al.
appropriation of $1,000 vas made
for a preliminary survey Of the Sa-
tiila river. the irst time in the his
tory Of the governments taat this
stream has been recognized by con-
grass. Never before has an appro-
priation been made for a survey of
the river. 1t is also expected that
later q survey viii be or0ered of tae
81. Marys river a sum has already
been allotted for the survey OF Sa-
pelo sound and the Satilla river and
Engineer Conant stated yesterday that
he was expecting to receive notifca-
tion to also make survey of the
ST Marys river.
The survey Of the Satilla will be
from the mouth Of the river to Burnt
Fort, a distance of forty miles, and
it viii probably take two months to
complete the work. and then re-
port will be filed with the secretary
Of war showing just what improve
ment is needed, The probable cost
etc. The matter will then be referred
to congress and, if the report shows
that the commerce o. the points on
the river warrant improvements be-
ing made, an appropriation for river
work will probably be the result Just
at this time, Of course, it is not
known whether The report viii be
favorable for the river or not
Engineer Conant states that the
surveying PARTY win begin on the
river within the next few days. One
party is now surveying Sapelo sound
and the work on the river viii start
as soon as second surveying party

probably be necessary 10 organize d
third surveying party
The fact that the government has
recognized these two streams indi-
Gates that it is more than likely that
