Gil OF the Borough of North Wild wood

with Congressman Bacbarach for the
purpose of interesting the congressman
IN the matter of having the u. 8. gov
eminent make some Improvements in
Hereford Inlet, with a view to MAIN
tanning a channel Of a depth of twelve

sisted OF Mayor McLinden, Senator
Wheaton, j. Fithian Tatem, George A.
Redding, ]. Warren Sayre, P. L. Peter
son, Richard r. Anderson, Richard
Rauch, and l.. M. Rice. Mr.. Tatem
acted as spokesman of the delegation
and he presented a mass of detail as to
the amount of commerce and the num-
Der OF passengers that annually pass
through Hereford Inlet, and he ex-
planned In detail the trouble and incon-
veDience, with its attendant loss, that
the borough sustains by reason of the
low water at the inlet when the tide ia
out. Congressman Bacharach was
much impressed with the facts present
ed by the committee and said that he
was In full sympathy with their de-
sires and he believed that some rslief
should be given. He stated that in his
opinion the deepening of the channel
would be Of much benefit to the bor-
ough, and that he would do everything
in his power to bring about the accom-
pllshment Of their desires. He went
into detail as to the procedure in pro-
jects' OF this kind, and gave the com
mittee valuable information as to what
they should do in order to impress Con-
gress with the Importance of their re-
quest. Mr.. Bacharach today intro
duced a bill providing for an examina-
ton and survey of the inlet, looking to
the maintaining of channel twelve
feet deep. The bill was referred to the
Committee on Rivers and Harbors, and

road Company has been ordered by the
Board of Public Utility Commissioners
to resume the practice Of stopping
trains and delivering freight at the
north side of Grassy Sound on Feb. IA.
Last summer the railroad was given
permission to give up stopping its 81
excursion trains at the north side of the
sound, but with the understanding it
would continue to deliver freight at the
risk of the consignee. w. T. Royds, a
resident of the settlement north of the
sound, filed the complaint about the
freight.

the accident and gone to his aid, tying
his arm up with a signal flag and Sc
curing a hand car rushed him to Mace's
hospital, where it vas found necessary
to amputate the mangled hand which
