Richmond and rrOgress-Vyhich!

Government engineers who have invest-
gated thoroughly report that it will cost up
wards Of fifty million dollars TO properly
drcdge the James River channel to Hampton
Roads. and then the channel will be navi-
gable only by river craft. and will not take
the coastwise or ocean-going frcighter. After
such a channel has been opened it WILL re-
Qnirc upwards of million and "A hal. dollars
a year TO maintain.
Port Richmond. the York River. lies
thirty-jive miles to the east Of Richmond
Inc York River has natural channel twenty
TOUR feet III depth from Port Richmond to
Craneys Island. and from that point 10 the
CapoS the channel has an average dcpl of
thirty-hve feet. II is wide and straight: il
mas never been drcdgcd and will never re-
duire dredging. From Richmond To tho
Capes Dy way of james River is about one
hundred and ffty-oight miles From Rich
mond to the Capcs by way OF Port Richmond
ana York River is about hundred and six
miles.
There are now at Port Richmond sufficient
docks, terminals and warehouses ia take rare
OIL tsichmonds water trade for many years
The largest ocean-going freghter can dock
at Port Richmond today and unload its cargo.
By rail Port Richmond is less than one
hour from Richmond proper.
The business interests of Richmond should
adopt the natural way 10 progress and indus
trial development. At comparatively a small
cost a concrete roadway could be construct ed
from Richmond 10 Port Richmond. and this
with added railroad facilities, though at
present ample to serve the community for
many years. would place Richmond in the
forefront as one OF the important ports on
the Atlantic coast; would cut freight rates
up and down the coast, and would bring the
market places OF the world to our front door
Will the big, broad spirit of Richmond
arise TO the occasion and bring into practical
being a real port for the city.
