made it public. He hailed the
statement by the secretary of
war as most gratifying piece
of news.
Mr.. Weeks letter Is the elimination
Of correspondence between Mr.. Creager
and the war department that began
early in January. At that time COM
mittee Of citizens, including Mayor A.
B. Cole, S. G. Tucker, John Gregg. G..
L. Jessup and others conferred with Mr.
Creager on the situation at the har-
Dor resulting from the exhaustion Of
the Valley funds for the inner channel
and the halting Of work. The result Of
that conference was a long telegram
to the war department setting forth the
situation here. Then followed an eX-
change Of letters between Mr.. Creager
and the secretary Of war.
Situation Clarified
In railroad and harbor circles in
Brownsville, Mr.. Weeks letter is regard
ed as clarifying the situation, and
paves the way for immediate raising of
the $25. 900 needed to complete the inner
channel.
Mr.. Weeks letter follows in full:
Il am afraid that my letter Of jan
uary %, 1925, on conditions at Point
Isabel (Brazos) harbor has needlessly
alarmed you. The dredging of the chan
mel across the outer bar is difficult
task but by no means an impossible
one.
1.-The contractor who has undertaken
to do this work has made diligent ef-
forts, but. as you surmised, he has been
much delayed on account Of bad weather.
This, coupled with his not having the
most efficient plant for work OF this
kind, has been responsible for his laci
Of progress. There is very limited
depth of water on the bar and when any
ca is running it is impossible for
| boat to work on the bar as it is in con
| slant danger of being beaten to pieces
| When greater depth has been secured
| it will be possible to work in rougheT
weather and the cost Of dredging VIII
| be correspondingly reduced
Requirements Changed
| "The contractor has also been hamp'
| cred by the requirements that he should
| dispose of his material IN water at
least 80 feet deep. Arrangements have
| been authorized which will eliminate
this requirement and which will undoubt-
| edly facilitate his work to great ex-
| tent. and as more favorable weather

| think he should be able to complete his
work In case he can not, the Depart
ment has a plant with which It can dc
the job although it will be necessary
to transfer it considerable distance
with resulting additional cost.
