Rivers and Harbors Bill Car
ries Local Appropriation
is ADOPTED BY SENATE
Special to Richmond from Washington
Says Appropriation for New Chan
mel to This Port is Contained in
Measure as Passed by Upper House.

Carrying an appropriation for the
new 35-foot channel approaches 10
this port and Norfolk. the rivers and
harbors bill was adopted yesterday
by the United States senate. Inc
bill will now go back 10 the lower
branch OF congress for final passage.
AS originally passed by the house
Of representatives, the bill did not
carry any appropriation for the pro-
posed Improvement in Hampton
Roads and this port, but when the
bill reached the senate it was refer
red to a committee and Senator Mar
tin had the committee include the
appropriations for this section in the
bill.
Sometime ago Il was reported here
that the bill as recommended by the
committee did not contain the appro-
priations for Tidewater Virginia as
asked for by Senator Martin. but a
special from Washington to the Rich
moned Evening Journal yesterday
says that as it passed the senate. the
bill carried the appropriation.
The proposed new channel for this
port will be cut directly across the
Middle Ground. bar and will have a
depth of 35 feet at mean low water.
This will give all outgoing and in
coming vessels direct route from
Old Point to this city and will mean
the saving of several miles on the
run both in and out of port. Besides
this advantage. the straight channel
will be kept open by the natural cur
rent of the river and will not be con-
tinually filling up as the present chan
mel does.
