the requests Brunswick was making
OF the government were amply war
Fanted by substantial increases in
the commerce of the port; by larg
er and new volume of business and
by recent construction of large fac
tory interests, that afford both ex.
ports and imports. He pointed out
to Col. Kingman the liberal spirit the
city had always shown to new indus
tries, illustrated ting neaessity for i'm
provements in Terry QKeek and stated
that Brunswick only wished to demon
stfate to Col Kingmaa that the aid
she was seeking at s hands of the
government was fotInded upon logic
al and satisfactory groands.
Secretary ]. G. eatherly was the
next speaker. ne devoted himself
largely to comparison Of statistics
Of government aid afforded to Bruins
wick and that afforded to other ports
in ratio to volume and value Of com
merce. In these comparisons Bruns-
wick was made to show up very
handsomely. For instance. it was il
Illustrated that while Brunswick has
had only s1 ,250,000 expended on her
harbor By the government, with
commerce valued at $5o000,000 per
annum Wilmington, n. G., has re-
eeiyed $500, 900 with a commerce
valued at the same figures as Bruins
wick. Comparisons made with Rock
IL and Little Port, Me-; Newberry-
and GloueRster. Mass; Jackson
and Feruendina, Fla, all show

tier Of appropriations, etc.
