Big And Little Elk Channel

Members Of the Elkton Improvement
Association and other residents assem-
pled in Council Hall on Saturday after
noon to arrange for presenting the mat
Ter of the dredging Of the Big Elk chan
mel as well as that or the Little Elk to
Col. Langftt, of the U. S. Engineer
Corps, in charge OF Maryland river and
harbor work. Discussion of the matter
was confined mostly to the need of main.
tanning the Big Elk channel as favor
able report had been made upon the
proposed improvement Of the Little Elk.
F. E. Williams briefly but forcibly urged
the necessity of the Big Elk channel as
we'll to the business interests Of the
town as to the welfare OF residents de-
pendent upon it's industries. Col Lang
fit said the prospects were not favorable
for caring for both streams. H. NJ. Nc
Cullough, Esq, said the closing of the
Big Elk channel would likely effect an
increase in transportation rates in the
absence of water competition. Frank R
Scott said a certain channel in the Little
Elk was to be preferred to an uncertain
one in the Big Elk. Joshua Clayton,
Esq, said that w, H. Mackall held the
view that dredging Of re Little Elk and
OF the Big Elk to fast or solid ground
would meet the situation. Col. Langftt
inquired as to whether the towns indus
trial interests would be disposed to CO.
operate in meeting the cost of the Big
Elk channels maintenance. w. #. War
burton replied that President Sharpe, OF
the Radnor Pulp Co. had stated that his
company would so cooperate, but had
also stated that the closing of the chan
mel would lead, and perhaps soon, to the
removal of the mill from Elkton. w. S.
Evans maintained that work ON the Big
Elk was more essential to the towns in.
terests than that upon the Little Elk
Mr.. Williams again strongly presented
the claims of the workingmen of the town
whose interests were involved with those
of it's industries. He submitted some
data prepared some time ago by Frank
r. Scott, showing the value of Elkton'e
industrial concerns ana the value o.
their output which, he maintained.
would Justify the continued care of the
channel by the Government. The meet
ing then adjourned and the engineers
went down the river for a personal in
spection of conditions. Upon their re.
turn they held an informal conference
with a numbe rof gentlemen, agreeing
to hold their decision open for ten days
until they could be furnished with com.
plete data by those pleading for tn,
work.
