members Of the Indian River Inlet Com

recent Legislature, have decided 10 OBJ
serve the effect OF the tide on the inlet
before starting work on an inlet in any
other location.
The inlet near Cedar Island was dug
by farmers OF that section to relieve
the flooded condition due TO water ris-
ing in Indian River and Indian River
Bay because there was no outlet for
that water TO the ocean. The damage
to farm. land and the hay and tomato
crops because OF overflowed land was
estimated at several hundred thousand
dollars, SO the farmers went ahead 10
relieve the situation by digging a chan
mel to connect bay and ocean.
A channel about 100 feet wide and
from four to six feet deep was dug and
IL Immediately lowered the water In the
bay and drained some OF the surround
ing farm land. The inlet diggers do
mated their services. Meanwhile resi-
dents Of that section, through Joseph
Armstrong, former deputy collector OF
internal revenue, who is now a resident
OF ocean View, borrowed $500 on a
note from a bank to enlarge and main
