of a larger harbor and more water.
William Moran said that he would

but what was wanted more than any-
thing else was a wider channel and
more depth to the water outside. ‘Yes-

Arming J. Smith's freight boats get

William F. Hoyt was then intro-
duced and stated that he was low
much interested in the improvement
or the harbor; that he had operated
boats for sometime and was a mem-
ber of the harbor improvement com-
mittee. He said that he was well sat~
isflcd with the proposed layout but
desired more water. The presdnt chan-
nel is 250 feet in width. The proposed
harbor line provides for a width of
500 feet at the bridge and as far down
as the lower end Of'tlle oyster docks.
What is wanted is more water. The
present channel is not deep enough
or wide enough to allow vessels to ply
up and down the harbor. " .

pleasure. through the Merchants' and

George R. Van Alstyne said that the
harbor line as proposed would suit the
needs of the town for many years to
come.
Mr. McMullen stated that Attorney

at the bridge were well taken. A
Thomas 1. Raymond suggested that
at the bridge the line he changed in

lines reached a width of 500 feet, eli-

struction is as substantial as that of a
steam railroad. Twenty thousand cu-
bic yards of filling has been done and
been blasted and moved. Some of the
fills are from eight to twelve feet deep

The highway is now at sub grade for .
practically its entire length and could.
be opened to traffic at once were con-
crete bridges completed. Delay in the
arrival of metal forms and other ma-
terials hasdelayed work upon the con-
crete, which was begun Tuesday. The
abutments of the live bridges that are
to be crowned by concrete slabs or
arches have been finished for some
time and as soon as the concrete is in
place and sufficiently arm towstand the
weight of teams and automobiles the
road will be opened to traffic, which
will have little or no dlmcuity in pass-
ing while the surface courses of new

work that has been necessary to bring
