RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Changes May be Made in the Mouth Of
the BrOndkiln River.

Washington, d. c., June 1l.--Senator
Salisbury has been receiving many
requests from the people of Milton and
vicinity interested in vessel property
and transportation to bring about the
impr, vcment of the mouth of the Broad
kiln liver where the efficiency Of the old
jctty ms been destroyed by the action
of the tides and currents. The people of
Lewos, similarly interested. have also
been very earnest in their desire to change
the mouth of the Broadkiln and the
entrance to the Lewes and Rehoboth
Canal for more favorable location than
the old mouth of the Broadkin River and
the Senator has secured the reconsidera-
ton of the whole subject by the Board of
Engineers for Rivers and Harbors. There
will doubtless lie hearings gwen by the
board on this subject and those who are
interested should sec that their views
are presented 10 the Board of Engineers.
