Padre Island Cut
Before Fish Wardens

AUSTIN. Oct. 4-(PJ-Engineers
OF the war department have been
asked by the Texas game. fish and
oyster commission to make a sur
vey of Laguna Madre and Padre
Island to determine the feasible
ity of cutting a channel through
the island from the gulf to supply
water for fish in the lagoon.
Thousands Of fish are killed an
nually in the lagoon because OF the
high salinity Of the water, caused
by rapid evaporation and by lack Of
fresh water from inland streams,
the commission said.
Preliminary surveys BY the COM
mission indicated the cost of cut
ting a channel through the island
was prohibitive and might not work
the desired results. The army en-
gineers will be asked TO ascertain
not only the feasibility Of the pro-
ject. but also whether 1t will be a
permanent remedy for conditions
in Laguna Madre.
The lower part of upper Laguna
Madre is said to be the third salt
lest in which marine life Is existant.
Years ago it was heaven for fish
and was supplied with water
through Corpus Christi Pass. With
the completion Of the Arkansas Pass
and the abandonment of the old
pass. the only noticeable amounts
Of water entering this part Of Laguna
Madre are from inland streams
which, in the summer time when
most Of the water is needed, are
usually very low. resulting in an
inadequate supply.
