NAMES DELEGATES l9'
TO RIVERS,HARBORS CONGRESS

Delegates from all the congressional
districts of Georgia and from the state
at large have been appointed by Gov
ernor BroNhkto attend the annual meet
ing of the National Rivers and Harbors
congress at Washington, D. c., Decem-
Der to 10. inclusive.
Governor Brown believes that no state
in the union has better natural ,oppor-
tunities than Georgia for the opening
up of new and greater industries through
! the further development of her inland
waterways.
The state is looking forward to the
time when all the western part of the
state will have a havigable outlet to the
gulf via the Chattahoochee, while the cit
liens of Savannah and Augusta, and the
people Of the southeastern counties
bordering on the Savannah river are
all looking eagerly forward toward the
deepening of the Savannah river chan
mel, a project which has already been
extensively investigated and recon-
mended by Col. Dan Kingman, govern
ment engineer stationed at Savannah.
To accomplish, any of these results,
Georgia must have federal aid.
Indications are that Georgia will send
a stronger and LARGER delegation than
any other southern state to this De-
cember congress. 49,
