Canal Link
Secretary Leon Locke of Inter

League Tells of Eff
forts Being Made

Mr.. w. H. Kramer of Franklin has
received letter f-om Hon. Leon
Locke, Secretary of the Interstate
Inland Waterways League telling of
the efforts being made to have the
Senate adopt the measure providing
for the Sabior-Galveston link of the
inland canal.
The Bill now in the Senate carries
100000 for the New Orleans-Mor-
gan City section and $37,500 for the
Vermilion-Schooner Bayou section.
There lie every prospect of its be-
coming a law as the bill passed the
House by big majority.
Mr.. Locke's letter follows
Lake Charles, La, Feb. 1919.
Hon. Wilbur H. Kramer,
Franklin, Louisiana.
Dear Sir:
We felt sure that the U. S. Engi-
neers would moke favorable report
on the Sabine Galveston section of
the intercoastal canal in time for the
pending Rivers and Harbors Bill,
but the report has been withheld for
the reason, as stated to Our repre-
sentatives, that "the Board felt that
if there was not enough traffic to
justify SO large an expenditure it
should not be made, and if there was
a very large traffic is could be ac-
comodated by the other route avail
able, namely, the Gulf.
It would be difficult to meet this
argument if the Sabine-Galveston
section were an individual project,
separate and distinct, but it must be
remembered that it is only a link in
an INLAND waterway, and the craft
adapted to canals and coming
through the completed sections could
hardly go outside between Port Sa-
bine and Galveston.
We secured the appreciation of the
engineers on the INLAND WATER
WAY between New Orleans and
Corpus Christi long time ago. A
special board of engineers, author
ized in the Rivers and Harbors Bill
of March 3, 1909, reported it favora-
bly,. Communities were led to en-
courage and to help to finance local
sections through the assurance that
its particular section would be a part
of the great waterway extending IN
