react upon the standard Of living OF

KENT ISLAND NARROWS
WILL BE DREDGED

Kent Island Narrows, connecting
Eastern Bay with the Chester River
will be dredged to a depth of eight
feet, an allotment Of 81, 500 already
having been approved by the War
Department with assurance that con-
tract for the dredging will be let
in the immediate future.
The matter of dredging the canal
was taken up with Congressman Alan
T. Goldsborough last June and thru
his cooperation and assistance an in
vestigating survey showed the canal,
dredged six years ago, filled in places
until a depth of less than four feet
at slack water existed throughout
much of the distance from Chester
River to the Narrows Bridge.
Due to the handicap caused many
freight and work boats using the
canal, Joseph w. A. Evans, Represen-
tative-elect, and other citizens with
business interests at the Narrows ap-
pealed to Congressman Goldsborough
for assistance which was readily
granted with the desired results.
