Washington now has approximate
ly 10000 feet of water front avail
able for commercial purposes, ex-
elusive Of park frontage, in It's
three channels, and is putting 70
commercial use only 5000 feet, the
remainder of the commercial front
presenting a highly unsightly ap-
pearance. Congress will be told.
Channel Fills 5 Feet.
The report made for the chief Of
engineers, dealing with the navig-
ability of the river, shows that por-
tions of the lower Potomac river
channel, controlling navigation TO
Washingtn, have filled in three
feet since they were dredged in
| 1905, it was stated today by Major
James A. O'Connor, District en-
gineer.
This is particularly true at the
Kettle Bottom shoals, just above
Colonial Beach, it is said where the
twenty -four-foo channel Of 1905 has
been shoaled in to a depth of TWEEN
ty-one feet.
1t is planned that the Potomac
river shall be dredged so as to pro-
vide a continuous twenty-fourfoot
channel from the mouth to Ha1ns
Point.
The study ordered by Congress to
be made of the harbor front Is still
underway, Major O'Connor said. A
report probably will be submitted to
the chief of engineers about Novem.
Der l, and forwarded by him to
Congress.
I'm planning for the development
and Identification of Washington s
water front" Major O'Connor said,
Serious consideration should be
given to the development Of water
borne commerce. Park develop
ments which are made should be
done so as to permit proper COM
mercial use of the harbor front.
No Interference Necessary.
even though large sections of
the water front are dedicated to
commercial use, they can be beauti-
fled and made an attractive por-
ton of the city without curtailing
their business function"
Congress will be told that steps
should be taken Immediately to dis
continue the use of the water front
for junk heaps and unsightly stor-
age places.
Establishment of adequate and
dignified terminals for transfer of
CargOes from boats to railroads and
motor trucks will be recommended.
The report will show that there
is now available for commercial use
a frontage of 1000 feet in the
Georgetown channel, 5.44O feet in
the Washington channel, and 10000
feet in Anacostia channel
Of this frontage, $500 feet in
Georgetown channel now consists
of abandoned and broken down
wharves, used for storage of Junk
and material which has no connec-
ton with water commerce. In the
Washington channel, $500 feet is
used for storage of firewood, delap-
idated boats and other purposes
which have nothing to do with
legitimate water commerce. In the
Anacostia channel. $500 feet of
front has never been developed and
is unsightly
The United States owns prac.
tically the entire water front with.
in the District, the report will
show.
Construction of the Arlington
Memorial bridge Is expected to lead
to wholesome improvement of the
river and commercial channel
fronts.

LIMERICKING.

1t was q wonderful wedding.
The girl was as sweet as any
girl who ever lived, but modern.
As she walked up the aisle ON
her fathers arm, her lips tightly
tilted at the corners with q happy
smile, she was q picture Of mod
est beauty. Her filmy. wedding
gown and gOssameF veil floated
around her fair blonde head like
a halo. She was as nearly an
angel as girls get to be In this
world. At the altar aS she passed
from her father, the fine man
whom she had always loved, to
the other man to whom she
would devote the rest of her life,
her dainty slipper touched q
pOtted lily resting on the floor
and turned It over. Smiling
again, she turned to the dear old
pastor waiting at the chancel and
said: THAT was q hell Of q

Score Of Candidates Start
Active Campaigns for
Lucrative Post

While President Coolidge will
not even consider appointing 2
successor until after the funeral
Of the late Commissioner James
F. Oyster, various candidates to-
day laid plans for active cam
paigns for the position.
There are more than score OF
men who entertain hopes Of being
appointed to the job, particularly
now that the salary has been
boosted from $1,000 to $1,000
year.
g. o. r. Leaders 10 Meet.
Several Senators and Congress
men have been interviewed BY cam
didates seeking support. None Of
them, however, has come out openly
for the conamissionership.
A meeting Of local Republican
leaders probably will be held some
time next week to discuss the situ-
alton and select one or two candi-
dates for President Coolidge to
pass upon.
Oyster Was Democrat.
There is uncertainty as to the
policy the President will follow in
selecting a successor. There is enc
Republican, Commissioner Cuno III.
Rudolph, now in office. Commits
sioner Oyster was a Democrat.
These two men were selected first
by President Harding and reap
pointed by President Coolidge, both
of whom followed the custom of di-
viding the commissionerships be-
tween representatives of the two
parties.
