Is Heartily In Favor Of
Deeper Waterways.
sp.ota, TO the EVENING NEWS.

Philadelphia, Aug. 2S:-Goyernor
Eugene N. Foss, of Massachusetts, III
a letter to Congressman j. Hampton
Moore, president of the Atlantl
Deeper Waterways Association, has
accepted an invitation to be n OF
the speakers at the fifth annual con-
vention of the Waterways body TO
be held in New London, Conn.,, Sep
TENDER 4, 5 and 6. The addition OF
Governor Foss' name to the program
makes the list of speakers one OF the
most notable in the history of the
waterways body.
Governor Foss is an enthusiastic
advocate of deeper waterways and
was visibly pleased with the work
that is being done on the Cape Cod
canal during a recent inspection trip
of that waterway.
In his letter to Congressman
Moore, Governor Foss says, in part:
at is my earnest wish to be present
if possible and / am planning to at
tend. SO far, however, I am in doubt
as to being able to get away. There
fore, I can do no more, in acknowl-
edging your letter of August 10, than
to say that / shall have great pleas
ure in accepting your invitation and
attending the convention if l can
leave the duties of this office for the
trip.
"No project seems to me more i'm
portant today in Massachusetts than
the development Of our waterways,
particularly in the deeper water
ways, which bring us the coastwise
commerce and the commerce OF
foreign countries.
"An important branch OF my pub
lie work is devoted to this end
In connection with the development
of railroad transportation.
You can see from this, the sub
ject is one which l should particu-
larly like to take part in at New
London, and / am looking forward
to the occasion with deepest inter-
est"
