Chamber Meets Tonight.

Civil Engineer Ebert Nexsen yes
terday made his report TO the board
of directors cf the Chamber of Com
merce on the draining of thousands
of acres of swamp land in Warwick
and Elizabeth City counties just
northward from this city. Accom-
panying the report were maps CT the
swamp lands and the proposed canals
together with estimates on the cost
of draining, the amount of land to be
drained and the amount of excavatinS
necessary for the construction OF the
proposed canals or culverts.
Mr.. Nexsen reports that six square
miles of territory in the two counties
can be drained by canal emptying
into James river just northward of
North Newport News. He estimates
the cost of the work at slightly less
than $4,000. The length CT the main
canal would be $500 feet, $50 feet OF
which will be to the westward of the
Chesapeake G. Ohio railway tracks
and $3.50 feet of which will be TO the
eastward CT the tracks.

rectcrs and Secretary w. E. Cottrell

dent Powell probably will name this
