OFF CROSSE lt

A Washington dispatch under date
Of January "a states that Detroit in
terests are continuing their efforts to
secure favorable government action in
deepening the east channel OF the De
trOit river near the Crosse lie shore.
The Board Of Army Engineers some
months ago submitted report alleging
that the improvement would not ma
terially improve sanitary conditions
and the benefit would be largely Of q
local reTeational nature, that would
not justify the expense.
The "DetrOit interests" have enlisted
the aid Of Congressman John Lesinski
DEM of the Sixteenth district, and
Congressman George A. Dondero, OF
Royal Oak, in fighting for favorable
action. The spokesman, on Monday,
contended that the federal government,
in dredging the Livingstone channel,
had destroyed the former channel
along the east bank Of Crosse lie.
AS a result Of this course, 1t was
declared, the waterfront is growing up
in weeds, to the detriment Of small
craft and injury to the public health.
