New River is a fine basin of brackish water of about fourteen miles length and of from. 500 to 10,000 feet width, and of at least eight feet channel depth, with 40.000 acres of oyster farms, and with rich agricultural surroundings; but with no facilities for transporting its goods to market- Its com munication with the ocean is' blocked by an oyster rock barricade, through which there now exists only a narrow channel' of fifty feet width and three feet depth at iow wa ter. Its present commerce, limited to wagons and small boats, is estimated to be about $40,000 of "goods per year The original project of .1882 proposed to secure a 150-foot channel, five feet deep at low wa ter, from the upper river to the ocean by dredging this channel to its full size through about 7,000 feet of oyster rock barricade; $10,000 has been appropriated, but no money has been spent upon this im provement up to 30th June, 1884, because the available funds were too small to allow of their being spent profitably. It was re commended in July, 1885, to secure a channel of from 100 to 150 feet width and five feet depth, at low water, from the ocean up to the nipper river through about 7,000 feet of this oyster rock barricade,' at a total expense of $40,000, including the funds then available: to be appropriated in a single amount within the nextyear.
