The Simmons amendment, in ef fect, appropriates $500,000 for a free canal, connecting the sounds , , ' ' . ,, bay. The estimated cost of deepeuing and widening the canal is $1,500, 000. The tolls paid by eastern North Carolina last year to these two private canals amounted to 1P5,000 and not one third of the T ' . . . . . commerce, which will, passed Ithroueh them. The work of im , provement, the engineers say, can be so prosecuted as not to prevent the daily and immediateiuse of the canal by the public. The purchase of this canal virtual ly means the completion of the in land waterway from. Norfolk to Beaufort.
