In the early spring when the com.
mittee from Auglesea visited Congress
mau Bacharach in Washington in the
interest Of the deepening ofHereford In
let, Captain P. L.. Peterson at that time
took up with the congressman the mat
ter of having an up-to-date buoy in.
stalled at the entrance to Hereford In.
let, as the buoy which now guards the
inlet is obsolete and practically of nc
assistance to mariners navigating the
inlet in bad weather. Mr.. Bacharach
took the subject up with the Depart
ment of Commerce and after consider
able urging aud numerous representa-
tons to the department as to the abso-
lutte need of an up-to-date buoy to
guard the inlet, the department has
decided to establish a whistling buoy
IN place of the present bell buoy.
While MI. Bacharach urged upon the
department the necessity of establish
ing a combination gas and whistling
buoy, the department stated that in its
opinion the establishment of such a
buoy was not warranted at this time.
Captain Peterson states that the in
s~tallation of a whistling buoy at the
entrance to the inlet will be SO great an
improvement ove the present buoy
that those using the inlet will willing
ly forget that they asked for a COM
bination buoy and be satisfied and
thankful for the new whistling buoy.
The department states that the work
of installing the buoy should be COM
pleted within a very short time.
The Rivers and Harbors bill just
signed by the President, contains an
item calling for a preliminary survey of
Hereford Inlet with a view to deepen
ing the same. This item covers the
bill which Congressman Bacharach in
troduced at the request of the commit
tee, who called upon him. The survey
of the inlet will be made just as soon as
the engineers department can get to it
and 1t is hoped that the work will be
completed and a favorable report ready
at the next session of congress. In
that event Mr.. Bacharach will renew
his energies towards having an appro-
priation allotted for the deepening of the
inlet
