'At tonight’s session two speeches
were the outstanding features, one by
Congressman W. C. Lankford, of the
Eleventh district, on Appropriation
and Reclamation, and another by
Fred Altstaetter, United States dis¬
trict engineer on “Light Draft Com¬
merce Carrying Craft for Shallow
Streams.”
Congressman W. C. Lankford, of
the Eleventh district, visualized an
inland waterway system, which, if
put into operation would enable
barges to come down the Mississip¬
pi river and go across the borderland
of the Culf of Mexico, by an inland
route, thoroughly protected from the
waters of the sea. He stated that
this was not a day dream, but an
idea fully capable of fruition.
Congressman Lankford explained
that the Apalachicola river is navi¬
gable, at present, to the point where
it connects with the Flint river, which
waterway is navigable as far UP a-
Albany. The speaker said that river with j
a not impossible effort the Flint
could be made navigable to Cordele.
Taking a map of Georgia, Con¬
gressman Lankford then pointed out
the route uf the Altamaha and Oc
{mulgee rivers, which streams, hi
i stated, were navigable to Macon. He
stated that it would be feasible to
construct a canal from Macon to Cor
lele (sixty miles) providing a naviga
hi- stream connecting Georgia with i
the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississip¬
pi on the one side and with the At¬
lantic seaboard, via Brunswick, on
the other.
, .Congressman Lankfor.-T’s speech
was well received and frequently ap¬
plauded when he referred to Geor¬
gia’s potential wealth and natural re¬
sources, throwing out a challenge to;
all Georgians to utilize their God-'
given opportunities.
Col. Altstaetter Speaks
Col. Fred Altstaetter, of the Unit¬

the natural conditions along the
courses of the three .rivers in the Al- I

Much of Col. Altstaetter ^ s address ;
dealt with technical matters pertain
ing to. the development of the river '
system, but all of tlfe information I
which he gave was clearly and easily
understood by hih hearers. The en- 1
gineer stated that before presenting
a request to Congress to make ap
propria! ion for the’river system on- |
der discussion, it was advisable that
all possible data be gathered as to
vv-by the proposed project for the ile
velopment of these streams should be
launched and the beneficial results to
be derived from such development, in
the opinion of those fostering the
movement.
Colonel U.staetter declared that
had been fooled so many times
when he came to Brunswick, about:
making- speeches, being told one hour
that he would not be called upon to
talk, only to learn later that he was
expected to speak, that he had re¬
solved on all future visits to Bruns¬
wick to have a speech already writ¬
ten and in his portfolio, ready for de¬
livery upon his arriva 1 .
Tlip keynote of the entire opening
day’s session was continued co-oper¬
ation by all the organizations and in¬
dividuals supporting the river move¬
ment. The Macon Chamber of Corn
merco and the Brunswick Board of
Trade jointly are Sponsoring the
ject and these organizations aJf*
pledged to the successful culmination
of the program outlined.

of the meeting. All the re

by Mr. F. E. Twitty, pre
at the Young Men’s Club, was
