The Sinepuxent Salt Water Inlet
Company completed its work of cutting
an inlet from Sinepuxent Bay to the
Atlantic Ocean. near Ocean City, last
Saturday afternoon at 4.20 o'clock. The
inlet is still open and the projectors are
confident that it will remain open. Al

as it is gradually deepening and widen.

Hundreds Of people were present al
the opening, among the number being
Mr.. Orlando Harrison, president of the
Salt Water Inlet Company; Oliver D.
Collins. John 7. Keys, Capt. w. B. S.
Powell, Capt. George S. Scarborough,
Robert j. Shovel, William Whaley, C.
l.. Vincent, editor Of the MESSENGER,
and hundreds of others.
Mr.. Orlando Harrison cut the last
strip of land with his shovel and let the
water from the bay to the ocean amid
the cheers Of the people witnessing the
event. Three cheers were given fol
the success of the Sinepuxent Salt
Water Inlet Company and its directors.
Within one hour after the opening there
was at least four feet of water in the
mouth of the inlet. At II o'clock Sun.
day morning Capt. w. B. S. Powell
sailed out of the inlet to the ocean and
returned through the inlet to Ocean
City with one of the government boats,
in company with Oliver Parker, ]. w.
Hudson, Frank Scarborough and Harry
Dukes. The steam dredge that has
done such good work in opening the in
let will be kept near at hand to be USED
in case of necessity in keeping open the
inlet in case the sand accumulates Sc
rapidly as to cause it to fill up. Every
detail will be watched to maintain the
inlet and make 1t permanent.
A telegram from Ocean City says it
is quite likely the State of Maryland
will be called on to help defray the ex-
penses of maintaining the inlet, and il
is also quite probable that United States
Senator John Walter Smith and Con.
gresham ]. Harry Covington will be
asked to take part and ask the Govern
ment to appropriate sufficient sum Of
money to maintain the inlet, because it
is conceived by everyone who visits it
that if this inlet can be made perma-
nent it will be the means of making
Ocean City one of the greatest health
resorts along the Atlantic coast, and
will make the Sinepuxent Bay perfect
mine of wealth for fishing, clustering
and claiming.
