Large Sum is Also
the Fresh Water Streams to Make
Them Navigable During the
Entire Year.
According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Wahlngton—gufctlished
yesterday,, ftrunstvick has fared quite
well in the annual appropriations
recommended by the rivers and har
bors committee aud it is annoupced
that the committee had raeummanded
an appropriation of $400,0a0, for the
improvement of the Brunswick har
bor.
The fact that $400,000 will be ap
propriated for this port means the
long desired depth of a thirty foot
channel from dock to pen,'.which the
city has been clamoring for the part
few yeais. That sum, is is stated,
will tie sufficient to complete the pro
ject -entirely and will easily give the
port a depth of thirty feet all the
way from the dock fo the sea.
Fresh Water Streams.
The Altamaha and Ocraul ee rivers
which empty at this port, aiso fare
well in the appropriations, it being
recommended that SOO,OOO he allowed
for the improvement a ml an addition
al $25,000 for improvement on the Oo
mulgee at Macon. The appropria
tions means that the river will be
made navigable from Macon to Bruns
wick during the entire year and will
open up a big traffic for this city.
As is well known, two or tiiree com
panit s are now ready to operate boats
to this port and with the appropria
tion for work on the fresh water
streams, the business will jo a large
