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.
