Government Investigate
Condition In HalbOI

A short time ago this paper pub
lished a communication from the
Chamber of Commerce stating that
they had requested Congressman
Goldsborough to use his influence to
obtain better harbor conditions III
Cambridge, as a result OF this re
quest the Chamber entered into cor
respondence with Major Harrington
of the Engineer Office of the War
Department. Wednesday Major Har-
rington held a conference with a
committee of the Chamber and went
over the conditions, determining
what it was felt necessary to do and
Offering suggestions as to now II
might be accomplished.
At the time of this conference, IN
passing up the creek, number OF
boats were found to be aground,
which was a glarIng incident OF how
badly we were in need of deeper
channel and considerable dredging
along the wharves. Although Major
HARRINGTON did not commit himself
we felt that he was sufficiently I'M
pressed with our needs as TO make
definite recommendations to the
War Department.
Major Harrington committed him
self to this eXtent-that as soon as
the weather broke a detail STUDY
would be made of the conditions on
the south west side of the creek ana
is the result of that study proved the
necessity for dredging, sutf1clent
funds are at present available, and
the work would be done before
July 1st.
The extension OF the creek, which
was one of the requests made OF the
War Department could not be taken
care OF at this time, as the Govern
ment controls only short distance
above the drawbrIdge and before
further dredging could be done a
study and survey would have to be
made. A request was sent to Con-
gresham GoIdsborough to present
the need OF TINS project before the
proper committee in Congress. Inc
need of his project is demonstrated
BY the fact that the last survey was
made in 1892 ana we are working
under the same areas authorized by
Congress at that time.
