Ihe action of tiie senate eoniutit

by the iumse ihe Item was not In

tions included in the amendment of
fered by the senate committee over
540,000 was allowed for the canal.
Plantation creek la located about n
mile this side of the quarantine sta

appropriation is modern- the purpose
of mnking the or. ok navigable. In
other words the depth will be suili
4<:nt t 0 allow the fresh water boats
thus avoid going through 'Bir'’Snaoi\
sound which is very dangerjnm to the
fresh water boats. One great disad
vantage these boats have always had
in coming lo Brunswick is the fact
that they have always been compel!
ed to go around by St.. Simon sound
in order to reach port. The cutting
of the route through the two creeks
not only shortens the route three or
four mills but also makes II perfect
ly safe for the boats.
The new route will also save small
boats several miles enroute to St, Si
mon Mills, Frederica, Darien and oili
er points, and it is expected that the
creeks will be sufficiently deep to al
low good sized deep w-iter craft to
pass.
Th“ additional appropriation of stO,.
'OO was hardly exported hy those
who have heon working for It, not,
that It Is not for an unusually good
stUßf hut because there were so many

"The Brunswick people. It Is under

"Senator Taliaferro, being from .lark
