Revival of The Plan to Deep

Opinion.
Kor sonielime nuu’h talk 1i:im biHMi
current in tliis section rululivo to deep
ening tiie Tar river for navigation
from (Jreonville to Tarlioro, thus mail
ing it possible to iiave a waterway
roule from Tarl)oro stralKlit to New
Yorlc. or any otiier luist Atlantic scni-
port town.
I’-oncerniiiK the inland waterway
proposition, Cougressinau Small, wiio
is roRarrtod as an au;Uority on Lliese
Blatters, and wlio may well be re;;ard-
eU as tlie father of the waterway plan,
jrestorday said:
“1 welcome the privilose of a brief
expression ro(rardinp: intercoast wa
terway ami the dcvolnpnient of our
transportation. Tl.is intercoastal wa
terway propositicn 1.“! an insidi; route
from Ho.ston to Morida. The .soi'tion
from New York to Klorida has al
ready l)oen approved by the army en-
g-ineoi'.s. While this embraces a total
length of eighteen hundred niile.-s, it
must not bo suppoi;e>l thut it consist‘d
entirely of i^anals. As a matter of
fact, it i.s only nerossaiy to coniie;!
tlie numerous interior sounds and
bay.-i aliiuK the Atlantic Scabnard and
will only re(inire I'aiializin;; distani'o
of about one hundred and thirty-one
milc!!. 'I'lio total co:;t of the iniprove-
Bient will bo a little le.^s than forty-
eiglit million dollars. The mere con-
tenifilation of sucli ati inside and s:ife
route demonstrates this great value,
but when you consider that this wa-,
terway will intersoet the moulh.: of a
numi^er of rivers having a total navi
gable lengtli of more than live thou
sand miles, its value is grca.Iy en
hanced. To put it another way, its
construction will open up the grea!
trtink lino for water transpoi'tation
of eighteen iiundreii niile.^ with
branches of more than live thousand
miles. I must be content with this
general statement as to ti;e scope an :
purpose of this Intercoastal water
way.”
Grenville alrc-.idy has the opportuni
ty of using her waterway to great :i i-
vantage. Exports on the matter say
that the transportation facilities from
Greenville by water arc tine, but owing
to the fact that cheaper rates, or
nuiekor transportation can bo had by
way of the rail roads, there is practi
cally no river craft that come to
tJreenvilie.
