The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1912-02-03

twenty-five miles from the upper emu
of the cut referred to, to Brunswick
around by the Sound, against about
eight miles through the cut and
Fancy Bluff creek.
This section of Glynn and Camden
counues is very productive and cap
able of improvement, but must seek
it's market either by very long water
haul (waiting for tides lengthens the
hauD, or a long wagon haul, around
the head-waters of the Turtle river
and the Buffalo Swamp. These con-
ditions would be very much improved
by the opening up of this cut and
some small dredging out of the Fancy
Bluff creek.
AS a precedent in taking up this
matter by the federal government the
opening up of the Club and Planta-
ton creeks so that the river steam
ers could more readily reach the port
of Brunswick, might be cited as a
similar case and yet one that is not
likely to produce as much beETft for
the amount expended in the Improve
ment as the one under couU liberation
at present.
A resolution covering the above
grounds should be adopted by this
body and copy of the same forward
ed 10 our representative, the Honor
able W. G. Brantley, and our sena-
| tor, the Honorable Hoke Smith, also
the Honorable A o, Bacon, with re-
quest that they use their best efforts
/ in gaining some aid in the matter"
Upon consideration of the foregoing,
the following resolution was passed:
BE it resolved by this body that a
copy of above communication be
forwarded to our representative in
congress, the Hon. w. G. Braptley, and
our senator, the Hon. Hoke Smith,
also Hon. A. o. Bacon, with the re
quest that they use their best efforts
to have an appropriation made by the
federal government to have this wat
erway deepened, Strengthened and
maintained"
The following resolution was pass
ed by our BODY
Whereas, in the last few days it

Last Resort, whose rulings have al
