Dr. J. c. Curry, president of the Besse- mer board of trade, received a message this morning from Congressman George Huddleston in which he stated that the rivers and harbors bill, carrying the ap- propriation for the survey of Valley creek canal, had passed the House of Rep resentatives and would now go to the Senate. Congressman Huddleston is of the belief that the bill will pass the Senate and when signed by the President will become effective. This news, states pr. Curry, Is most gratify- ing to the people of Bessemer as in all probability it means that the survey will be made before the year is out as to whether the canal is feasible and prac- ticabe In case the bill becomes a law, it will be the first time a survey of this kind has been made, as heretofore the Bessemer end of the creek has always been included in the survey of North Birmingham.
