of 'AUGUST 27, 1934 THE NEWS-PALLADIUM PAGE THREE Latest News Of St. Joseph FOR PROPOSED SURVEY ASKED SHIP BASIN The proposed turning basin for the twin cities moved another step towards its consummation as Attorney Victor M. Gore, Benton Harbor, counsel in this area for the New York Central lines, lesee1 of the Michigan Central railroad, instructed John Cox, corresponding secretary for the St. Joseph-Benton Harbor port commission, to request a survey of the needs of this section and the proposed turning basin from the Army engineering department offices at Milwaukee, Wis. Cox will write today requesting such a survey and lay-out of plans.

The port commission seeks to dredge its basin on the property west of the Goodrich docks which belongs to the Michigan Central lines. Most of the is swampy and covered partially with water. Unless the basin is dug too far inward from the regular shipping channel maintained by government dredges, it would not be necessary to endanger in the slightest the solid land upon which the railroad maintains its right-of-way. Should the cut-in extend very far into the railroad's land, it would be necessary to drive in wooden or sheet iron revettments to back up the tracks from possible cave-in. At present recommendations of Major Everett, of the Army engineering corps at Milwaukee, provide for a triangular basin 800 feet wide and 500 on the two sides.

The depth would be the same as that of the shipping channel which is 18 feet 1 on the average. Society Mr. and Mrs. W. Woodbridge Dickinson of Hadleigh Hill Farm have issued invitations for a dance Saturday evening at their home on the Niles road.
