Introduced Bill Thursday In H<
To Have Southern Link (

Widening and deepening tl
waterway from Wilmington, Nc

Allard H. Gasque, of South Car
; Gasque introduced a bill to *
l.ave that section of the water
way deepened from eight to 12 NI
feet and widened from 75 to 90
I feet, the same dimensions of the ^
waterway as far south as Wil-1
mington. i arj
The bill would authorize a sur- sur
vey by army engineers to deter- ^
mine the cost of the work. ^
Gasque said that when the in- kn(
I land waterway was authorized by h
congress, the dimensions of the ^
I South Carolina link were made p0'
smaller than those for the nor- _ '
thern portion of the waterway. d;l)
The efforts of Congressman
Gasque to have the inland water- ^
j way widened and deepened be- ^
