Proposed bills in our State Legis-
lature with but one exception seem
to meet with general approval by
the voters of our community.
The Indian River bill to open
river to ocean by an inlet, and put
locks or gates in entrance of the
Assawoman Canal would seem to
De the right way to have tidewater
in our river, and open up the fishing
and grabbing industry that was for
! merly profitable to those so-en-
gagged. We trust that this may
soon be a reality and we can again
enjoy the good salt water fish and
the tasty sOft-shelled crabs that so
many Delawareans are so fond of
eating. We believe our representa-
tive, H. o. Derrickson, will give his
support to this measure and enlist
the, support of his friends in helping
20 pass this needy piece of legisla
ton.
