Webber arrived at the court es-

and took the stand. Like Rose, he

PUSH WATERWAY,
URGED BY STOUT
Asks for Assistance in Agitating
Staten Island Deeper VIA
terWay Improvement.
IN LETTER TO THE MAYOR

Asking for assistance in the matter
of agitating the Staten Island sound
improvement project, communica-
tion has been received by Mayor Ferd
Garretson from James N. Stout, sec
'retary of the Staten Island Deeper
Waterways Association. The letter
states that the local city officials may
be called upon to assist In securing
the passage of a bill appropriating
100000 for continuing the dredg-
ing of the sound channel to a depth
of twenty-five feet from the upper
bay to Perth Amboy, with an amend
ment introduced by Senator MARITIME
calling for another survey by the
War Department of the entire chan
mel from Sandy Hook to Upper New
York bay in order to further the pro-
ject for thirty foot low water chan
mel throughout the entire length of
the waterways. Mr.. Stout's letter to
Mayor Garretson is as follows:
Hon Ferd Garretson,
Perth Amboy, N. J.
Dear Sir:-The Rivers and Har-
bors bill has passed the House of
representative and is now In the
Committee on Commerce of the Sen
ate. 1t contains an item appropriat-
ing another 100000 for continuing
the work on the first division of our
project, /. e., that of dredging the
channel to twenty-five feet from the
Upper Bay to Perth Amboy.
I'm order to open up the balance
of our s19,000,000 project for a
thirty feet at low water channel
throughout the entire length of this
waterway, We had Senator MARITIME
introduce proposed amendment to
the Rivers and Harbors Bill in the
Senate yesterday, calling for an
other survey by the War Department
OF the entire channel from Sandy
Hook to Upper New York bay. Il
1T is of the utmost Importance to
all the interests on this waterway
that this survey should be author
lied by Congress at this time. We
have been trying for many months
to get the project sent back to the
engineers for reconsideration by a
Congressional Committee resolution !;
but 1t has developed that a technical
construction Of the law covering the
subject might defeat the aim of such
resolution, therefore, we have adopt
ed the only other possible method
of bringing about the full improve
ment Of this waterway in the short
est possible time.
IF 1t develops that there is oppo-
sition in Congress to granting US this
relief from unnecessary and vexa-
tious delay in securing a channel at
this point which will be adequate to
all its commercial requirements, we
shall call upon you for assistance.
Yours truly,
JAMES N. STOUT,
Secretary
