REPORT URGES
HARB0R WORK

Pointing out the Importance OF
a harbor at Annapolis, John A.
Bromley, county roads engineer
of Anne Arundel county, today pc
titioned War Department engi-
neers to dredge the channel and
to build adequate protection
against wind and water erosion
of the harbor.
Mr.. Bromley reported the find
ings of a committee which inves-
tigated the condition Of the An
napolis water front. The report
concluded:
ut is imperative that some
immediate action be taken in
this matter"
Mr.. Bromley pointed out that
Annapolis is a strategic supply
point for boats using the inland
waterway between New York and
Florida and that it serves as a
harbor of refuge to large sailing
vessels, bargeS and oyster boats
during severe storms.
Importance of the harbor to the
q. S. Navy was also stressed in the
report. Mr.. Bromley stated:
"a deep water channel is re-
CURED by the United States
Naval Academy Experimental
Station for use in its operation.
Likewise, a greater width Of
channel is desirable due to the
use of a large number of sea-
planes for the training Of mid
shipmen in the summer sea-
sons"
The committee recommended
that in addition to the channel
being dredged that bulkheads be
constructed to protect the shore
line from erosion.

RESOLUTIONS OF ESTEEM

In the removal of Rev. G. n,
Smiley from Durant to Amory
where he has assumed charge of
the Presbyterian congregation the
Boy Scouts feel the loss of a lead
er and sympathizer whose place
will be hard to fill. For quite a
number IF years Rev. Mr.. Smiley
was chairman of the Boy Scout
ComIi:.cc and led in all the plans
for the furthering of scouting in
this community. He was always
ready to lend a helping hand for
the well being of the boys and
they felt that in him they had a
staunch friend.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, that
in the removal of Rev. Mr.. Smi-
ley from our community the Boy
Scout cause has sustained a
great loss but what is our loss
here is Amory's gain.
Resolved, Second, That we COM
mend Brother Smiley and his es-
Unable family to the tender care
of the Amory people and assure
the boys of that community that
they will find a sympathetic lead
err and a good friend in this splen-
did minister.
Respectfully submitted.

HORACE WEIR.
