WOOD EXPLAINS
PLANS For RIVER
Not Intention of Chamber or City
to Ask Government to
Build Wharves.

Discussing the recent action of ths
Chamber of Commerce in reference to-
the improvement OF James River,
Der, yesterday gave out tho followinsI
interview concerning the proposed
work and legislation:
Tho Federal government has al,
ready adopted II plan for the improve.
mont OF the channel OF James RIVER
by deepening II to twenty-five feet at
mean low tide from Richmond to the
sea. The estimated cost for this im-
provement is little over s500O.oOo.
Work was begun on the river by tho
general government forty years. ago.
and the total expenditure up to June
30. 1909, vas something over s?.600.oo0.
The rivers and rarbors bill that
has just been reported to Congress car
rics a total appropriation of about
SAC, 100000. and yet the amount givon
in this bill for the Improvement Of
James River Is only 100000. At thls,
rate OF prosecuting the work 1t is clear
from the above stated facts that it
will require about a quarter Of a CEN
fury to complete this project that the
government has already approved years
ago. The meeting yesterday. held by
the chamber was for the purpose OF
trying TO get this amount increased;
so as TO have the work prosecuted more
rapidly.
Must Relieve Importers.
The pressing reason for this Is 10
relieve our Richmond importers and e%4
porters. and also many OF our shippera
in the coastwise trade. from the ncces-i
slty OF having to pay freight at rail
rates from Newport News or Norfolk
to this city on cargoes that could and
would come to Richmond IL we had
| twenty-five feet of water in the river.
! Ono gentleman who spoke last evej
ming stated that at this time, and for
some months past, he has been rcceivT
| ing freight from ships at Newpore
| News because he could not get them
UP the river. This experience is re-
| peated by many other shippers of the!
/ city. AS long as this state of affairs!
continues, of course Newport News and
Norfolk get the credit of the busiHessa
| done by Richmond houses. and these
| shippers are not only thus forced to-
/ bear an excessive and unnecessary tax,
as Indicated but the result of this is
| Figured against Richmond and In fa-i
/, vor OF the other two ports before the
Federal authorities in submitting the
| volume of tonnage and customs re-i
| ceipts at the different ports. This Isl
| manifestly an injustice to us. for we
are not only deprived of our rights,
but we are made to suffer again be-
! cause Of the conditions that took them
from u.s."
1t is not the intention of the ship i
pers of the city to ask the government
anything for wharves or other improve j
ments to the Immediate harbor. The
/ city is expected to furnish this money
4 Mr. Wood stated that he has been ass
sured by engineers that 1t would DO
i entirely practicable, at no excessive
cost. to so deepen and straishten the
! river as to admit the largest vessels
| that cross the Atlantic into this port.
4 At present, however, it is being in
4 sisted only that the channel be deep
ened to twenty-five feet
