U. S. GOVERNMENT SPENDS I
LARGE SUM TO PROTECT PORT
, ' The United State* government has
■pent approximately $5,000,000 on a
mammoth breakwater to protect the 1
harbor of Beaufort, the southern
terminus of the Norfolk-Beaufort in- 
land waterway—one of the greatest '
-#• # water transportation projects to which
the Federal authorities has committed s
..self in recent years. !
In addition Congress this year is '
appropriating a million and a half |
dollars for improvements to the chan- 5
net. and with the increasing sentiment
throughout the country for improved t
water transportation facilities, larger I
appropriations will b> forthcoming if j
the people of the states affected are
aroused to the importance of demand- a
ing adequate funds to push the work j
with rapidity. j
As the southern terminus of the «
Norfolk-Beaufort waterway which [
passes along the eastern tier of North t
Carolina counties, Beaufort and West 1
Beaufort, where extensive develop-
meats for an all-the-year health re- }
sort are now going forward, are lay- li
* ing claims for the support of the *
state in developing port and terminal (j
projects along the line outlined in the |
recent report of the North Carolina
Ship and Water Transportation Com- g
A land-locked harbor almost a
directly on the coast, doner and more J
secure ♦*■»" any other terminal site p
' offend, Beaufort believes that the in- S
waterway is an important factor ®
? fa countering feeders for • atete j
port. Its harbor is capable of permrt
-1 ting the entire Atlantic fleet to ride
J at anchor and the expense of dredging
' for channels to piers would be almost
negligible.

C II CONGRESS MAY BE RE
USD ON TO GIVE LIBIT.AL
BILL IOR P. O. BUILDING
Washington. D. C.
May M, lt-iL
My dear Sir:
It L; proper for you to kr.ow, ami
it is especially due me that you should
know, the status of the bill for the
building of a Postoffioe in your town.
This bill as you know, was introduc
ed in the 67th and reintroduced in the
68th Congress. I think President
Harding's position that the c untry
I could not well afford to go to build
[ ing Postoflfices so soon after the war,
I
especially before the settlement of the
foreign debt was in sight, was ap
proved by the country. For rivself, I
found i.o place in my consci-nce to
lodge any objection to it.
At th« beginning of the 6sth Con
gress we thought vie would have a
bill ti:at would not be extravagant,
but would possibly spend s2t >0.000,©00
or thereabout. Out of that I had hop
ed to get a start for a complete ap
propriation for the Edenton building,
which comes first in my district by
reason of a site having been purchas
ed, and a start at least on the other
four, but about the time that the bill
was being formed and gotten ir.to
shape, the great misfortune of official
corruption became known to tlie
country by the scandal investigations
which spread until, to my keen pers
onal regret, they; fell upon the Chair
man of the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds of the House,
and which went step by step until
that unfortunate man was taken en
tirely from his public service, finally
earned to a federal court in Kentucky,
convicted and sentenced to serve it
the Federal penitentiary, and from
the effect of it is now a helpless
paralytic in this city. The Steering
Committee of the House no doubt re
fused to reorganise the Committee,
waiting for the result of his trial
which came on late and so near ad
journment that it was then unnece -
