Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1917-02-02

on the question of dredging the inlet at
Anglesea so that vessels can find il
easier to enter the port of Anglesea.
Considerable valuable business has
been lost on account of the shallowness
OF the channel, which has lost thou
sands of dollars TO Anglesea and to the
whole island. Many fishing boats
have gone to Cape May for that reason.
This is a most important matter. The
meeting should be crowded by citizens
of the island urging that the govern
ment appropriate money for this mat
ter. 1t is desired that opinions be SUBJ
mitted in writing as far as possible.
