TON OF DYNAMITE
TO OPEN CHANNEL
>ClOgged Inlet Of Indian River
= Bay Will Be IemOv.d This
Afternoon.

The clogged inlet of Indian Rive
Bay, between that body of water ant
the Atlantic Ocean, will be opened
today to provide a free flow between
She bay and ocean.
> A ton of dynamite, handled by ex
perts of the DUPONT. Company, will be
planted and exploded where it will
do the most good.
Study of the situation has led to
the conclusion that the dynamite
blasts will open the channel suf-
: ficiently to allow the water in In
dian River Bay to flow into the
: ocean, and the waters of the Allan
tic to find their way into the bay af-
ter the inlet is opened.
While the inlets to be created by
the blasts will not be as satisfactory
as if the channel were dredged, it
is felt that the dynamite blasts will
provide enough openings to relieve
the situation for many month. Mean
while efforts will be renewed to have
a permanent channel dredged and
maintained through Federal aid.
Clogging of the inlet with sand
washed in by the ocean created a
serious problem in Indian River Bay.
The Once-tidewater bay became al
land-locked body of water, with no
outlet. The water became more or
less stagnated, killing the fish and |
destroying a fishing industry that for
years was profitable to residents of
the Indian River section.
Efforts to get adequate Federal aid
by Delaware's Senators and Con-
gresham have been unavailing. The
State of Delaware appropriated some
money for that purpose but it was
not sufficient to provide a perma-
nent inlet, where the tidal flow and
backwash of sand from the ocean
have to be reckoned with.
Indian River Bay is regarded by
many persons as the most beautiful
body of water in Delaware, and the
residents of Sussex county are \
greatly interested in having a tide q
water flow restored to preserve that .
body of water at it's best. y

were important factors and that
