obtained by Mr.. Smithwick over all
the items needed for the third Florida
district except an appropriation for
deepening and widening the channel
into St. Andrews Bay on which the

work.

plated St. Andrews Bay project was
impossible however, because the rivers

congress on preliminary examination
and survey recently made to determine
the advisability Of undertaking the i'm
provement.
In a report recently received by the
rivers and harbors board, the district
engineer and division engineer diff
fer in their recommendations as 10

The board will hold a hearing on this
matter January 27- If favorabie

secure adoption of an amendment TO
the bill in the senate to cover the ST.
Andrews Bay Improvement and Mr..
Smithwick will use his best efforts. to
have the house approve the amend
ment.
