URGE FUNDS
FOR THE HARBOR

Maritime and commercial interests
of the port of Philadelphia have sent
a petition to Representative Michael
Donohoe, of the Rivers and HarbOrs
Committee of Congress. urging that
he use his best efforts in securing an
appropriation for the completion OF
the breakwaters for the new national
harbor of refuge, Delaware Bay, near
Lewes This work has been approved
by the War Department, but has been
allowed to drift along for years with
out securing sufficient money to COM
plete il
The Maritime Exchange, Pilots AS
sociation and trade and commercial
organizations have repeatedly urged
the Government to provide funds for
the work. The breakwaters already
constructed afford only partial shelter
from easterly winds and none at all
from northerly blows and drifting ice
As the Delaawre Breakwater is 10.
Gated midway between the North anc
South Atlantic coasts, it affords tho
only safety harbor to mariners be-
tween the Chesapeake and Sand.
