Assurance by Representa
tive Lindsay Warren, of the
First North Carolina District,
that ho was vitally interested
in a hill now before Congress
to provide for re-installation
of locks on the Albemarle A
Chesapeake Canal at Great
liridge, Va., and that he
would do everything possible
to fifed e.vrl.v passage of the
measure, was the outstanding
1 feature of- a hearing on the
matter at M linden's, Va.,
Wednesday afternoon. Jt was
presided over by Major J. A.
O'Connor, of Norfolk, district
engineer of the War Depart
ment.
Tim hearing was attended by
some 2oo persons from Currituck
County. Kllxabeth city. Norfolk,
and adjacont Virginia commanl*
tics, iii opening it. Major O'Con
>i??r announced that he wished to
obtain first bund information on
conditions to be affected through
t<M>lu<:r>m?nt the Iock?.
Veteran huntsmen and flaher
meu of upper Currituck 8ouud
and of the Hack Hay region la
Virginia testified at the hearing
i hui (luring the lust five years
there hud boon u gradual decrease
in wildfowl and fresh water fish
by reason of the Inflow of salt wg
ter from Chesapeake Bay. The
locks which formerly were main
tained at Ureal flridgo. it was ex
plained. ware removed when the
canal Was taken over by the flov
ernmutit an a part of the Inland
Waterways, and was made a sea
level traffic artery.
Navigation interests were de
clared to favor the return of the
locks because, since ihelr removal,
the tide has run ho strongly
through the canal that veaaela
have often been forced to tie up in
stormy weather to avoid being
dualied against the banks.
Representative Warren went to
M linden's from this city uccom

been advanced two uml one-half
years on the CongrcRMlonal calen
dar. and probably would be paseed
iii the early future.
