Columbia officials for their opin-
ions of the Importance of con-
tinued service on the bus line
which runs between Arlington and

alton. The District Commissioners
earlier had informed Gov. Tuck of
a similar stand.
The Virginia Governor has au-
thority, under State law, to take

stroy the free economy of the

Ocean Vessels
District Soon
Section of Channel
Is Being Dredged
To 24-Foot Depth

Washington may soon become
a port for ocean going ships
again.
This was indicated today as the
Army Engineers announced that
dredging of the Potomac River
channel between Smith Point and
Maryland Point began yesterday
and is expected to be completed
by Christmas or the first of the
year.
The operation will deepen the
river two and a half feet, to
total depth of "a feet for the
first time in many years. It will
open the way for cruise ships to
schedule trips from Washington
to such points as Bermuda.
24-Foot Channel Sought.
The Washington Board Of
Trade River and Harbor Com
mittee long has sought a 24-foot
channel from it's mouth to WASH
ington. Recently the board re-
ported that one cruise line was
interested in launching a Wash
ington to Bermuda run when the
Potomac had been dredged suf-
ficiently.
The section being dredged is As
miles below Washington. At this
point fresh water and salt water
meet and the resultant chemical
action deposits considerable silt in
the channel.
Dredging in this area was last
done in 1943, when the depth at
that point was increased to "a
feet. Sitting had occurred in
other areas, however, preventing a
full project depth for the rivers
entirety.
Dredging Maintained.
Since 1905, when work was COM
pleted giving the river its first "a
foot depth, the engineers have
conducted what they call mainte-
nance dredging.
At the present time the river
depth is estimated by the en-
gineers at 2112 feet, at average
low tide.
Rredging is being conducted by
the Norfolk Dredging Co.
The engineers warned ships to
use caution in passing the dredge
and pipeline.
