District And Divis-5* ion Engineers Recommend Dredging Channel Of That Depth To Southport, I 38-Ft. To Wilmington i The first important step in the improvement of the Southport harbor was announced last week from Washington, where it was ! learned that the U. S. District and Division Engineers have "re* commended the deepening of the Cape Fear River Channel to a depth of 40-feet into Southport. The recommendation would pro vide for a channel depth of 38 feet to Wilmington. This would represent an increase of 4-feet in the present channel depth. This dredging project, which will cost an estimatated $6,364,000, was favorably reported by District and Division Engineers and has been submitted to the Chief of Army j Engineers, who has asked for a j review by the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors here. A public hearing may be called. If | requested, probably early in Jan- '■ uary . Once approved by this board, the Budget Bureau must review the project, and Congress must au thorize it. After this it must be included in an Omnibus Civil Func tions money bill before actual con struction can be made. All this legislative procedue or dinarily would take at least a year or so. In a few rare cases, a project has been authorized and subsequently appropriated for j rivers and harbors approval with- ! out budget approval, but tradition- j ally, budget approval, is necessary. I Recommendations of the District and Division Engfti^ers include: Dredging to 40 feet and width of 500 feet, with greater width at bends. Deepening the reaches of the 400-foot channel from Southport to the foot of Castle Street in Wil mington to a 38-foot depth, includ ing the anchorage basin. The project is design to suit the harbor for big deep-draft tank ers and freighters.

Gives Figures About Income Industry Appreciation Week Brings Forth Facts Con cerning What An Indus try Means To Community Governor Hodges’ proclamation designating the week of Nov. 28 Dec. 3 as "Industry Appreciatiol Week” in North Carolina has again brought to the forefront the question: What does an industry employing 150 men, for example, mean to a community?

Henderson, industrial development administra tor for the Department of Con servation and Development, is one that should cause North Caro liaians to stop and think as they discuss the importance of indus try to their communities and to the State. A national study, Henderson said, has found that an industry j providing jobs for 150 men in a j community roughly means this: ! An- annual payroll of $350,000. j ,A plant investment of $300,000. | A ten-room school house. Sales and service for 400 cars, i A dozen stores. A taxable valuation of over a million dollars.
