THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, TUESDAY. APRIL 11. 1905. WALTER GnHSHAM STATUS THE REASONS OP THB DBBP WATER COMMITTEE! FOR US OPPOSITION TO RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THB BOARD OF CITV COMMISSIONERS. CHANNEL MUSI Thtrty-FlTe Feet Deep.

Svthinc 'Will Be a Firnt- Harbor. An Interview was publlsiied In The News of Sanday from United States District Attorney Marc McLeroore with reference to the resolutions passed at a. recent meeting of the Board of City Commissioners hearing upon the matter of establishment of the boundary line denning: the ownership of Pelican Spit and Pelican Island. The resolutions of Commissioners wore to the effect that it cede to the Federal GoTernment, provided the Texas Legislature would ratify the cession, all of that part of Pelican Spit east ot a certain lino to be drawn north and south through the division of tho two properties, provided certain conditions were complied with by the Federal Government. Judge McLemore went to Austin one day last week and presented the matter to a number of the members of the Legislature and held conferences with the Governor and the Attorney General.

Attorney McLemore-'E attitude was to favor the action of the City Commissioners and the resolutions they adopted. Galveston deep water committee, which has been Interested in. the development of every phase of the port of Galveston for about twenty years, has exeepted to the resolutions of the City Commissioners and to tho position of the United Btatos District Attorney. Col. Walter Gresham, a prominent member of the deep water committee, yesterday Raid to a News reporter that it was a matter which was not wholly one of a harbor line, nor of a boundary line.

The deep water committee does not desire the conditions attached to the resolutions as passed by the Commissioners. The idea of the members is that the cession should be made to the Government without condition. It is declared that If tho I-egis- lature should adopt the resolutions the Congress the United States would not- It is averred by persons who should know that tho conditions applied to the resolutions would kill every prospect of their passing Congress, and even though.they should be ratified and accepted, it would forever estop Galvestori harbor from becoming what the Trans-Mississippi Congress- haa been fighting for during the last few years. Tho' original bill was prepared about twenty years ago by Capt. Kads, the officer who constructed the jetties at New Orleans.

This bill provided for a channel at Galveston half a mile wide. This bill has been reduced to an even 2.000 rcet. The deep water committee will Insist that it should not be reduced to 1,200 or as would be the case, they declare, by the adoption of the resolution passed by the City Commission- Col. Walter Gresham, a member of the deep water committee, said yesterday concerning the matter: "Several articles have recently appeared in the public prints of this city criticising the wcudri or the Galveston deep water committee in objecting to obstructions being placed ny the Board of City Commissioners in the way of the future enlargement of this harbor, and limiting the width ot the channel thereof to 1,400 feet. This committee has been working for twenty years for the improvement of this port with the view ot obtaining a first class harbor with depth of not less than thirty feet and capable of safely accommodating the largest ocean carriers and naval vessels of the world.

This is the character of harbor demanded by the people of the West at their deep water conventions, recommended by the Legislature of the State of Texas and approved by Congress in the law providing for the appointment of a board of engineers to select a place on the northwest coast of the Gulf of Mexico to bo improved by the Federal Governnttnt. "The deep water committee has been, and is now striving to secure a harbor deep enough, wide enough and large enough to accommodate the growing necessities of commerce and the possibilities of this port. At the time the advocacy of this work was commenced by the people of the West, there were some of our citizens who contended that a depth of eighteen feet was all that was necessary, or that would ever be needed, and that It was useless and bad policy to ask for a harbor of the dimensions demanded by the committee and the people of the West, jnst as some of our citizens are now contending that a channel of 1,200 or 1,400 feet In width is all that is now, or ever will be, needed at this harbor. "The committee are striving to have the jetties extended with a view of obtaining a uniform depth of not less than thirty-five feet, with a channel of not less than 2,000 feet in width, and extending as far west as the needs of commerce may from time to time demand. With this end in view bills were introduced in the last Congress by Mr.

Gregg providing for surveys for obtaining a depth of not less than thirty-five feet, and widening the channel to 2,000 feet Congress refused the survey for thirty-five feet in depth, but provided for the survey of the channel in the following language: 'With a viosv to enlargement and extension farther west, and the Secretary of War is authorized and directed to ascertain tho rights of the United States in land bordering upon said channel, and to be created by excavations therefrom, and to make such recommendations with respect thereto as he may deem "Wo know that the. United States Engineer Department will not recommend at this time the widening of the channel, preferring to wait and see what effect tho tides and currents will have in maintaining tho channel, when it shall be. widened In accordance with tho existing approved project, yet, remembering a Capt. Ends in his plan for the improvement of this harbor provided for widening the channel to a width of not less than 2,610 feet, and knowing that all of the great ports of the country that are now our competitors for business are seeking to have their harbors I deepened and enlarged, the Deep Water Committee is unwilling to consent that further development of this port shall bo circumscribed and hampered ns proposed by the resolutions of the Hoard of City Commissioners. channel In front of the city of Galveston ot otherwise, west of the western boundary line (the bulkhead running from near the red beacon to Pelican Islard) of the lands herein released and relinquished by the city of Galvcston as said lino appears upon the blue print hereto attached, and bclnr the lino separating tho lands heroin released by said city of Galvcston and the said Pelican Island and flats.

"Such conditions and restrictions upon tin power ot the Federal Government to Improve this harbor would not, and in my opinion should not. bo sanctioned by Congress. Nor do I believe tho Legislature of this State would approve such a measure. "It Is contended that the city will lose some revenue by reason of the fact that parties who desire to rent from the city and to erect improvements on Pelican flats will have to furnish their own methods of ingress and egress across the 800 feet, which would lie between the 1.400 feet revetment as now constructed and tho proposed line of 2.000 feat. Assuming this to be true.

I do not bellevo that tho people of this city can afford to cut off the future enlargement of this harbor, as contemplated, for tho sake of a few hundred dollars. "I understand that Messrs. Clarke who contemplate the construction of marine ways, are willing to lease from the city a part of the flats north of and bordering on the proposed 2,000 feet north harbor line and agree to dredge the channel to the site of their proposed works. Capt. Jadwin, United States Engineer in charge of the Government works at this port, expresses himself as being in favor of giving to parties who might lease from the city a permit to excavate as wide a space as may be desired between the present channel and the proposed 2.000-foot north line.

"When the Deep Water Committee started twenty years ago the channel was 200 feet wide and there were only twelve feet of water on the bar. We now have a channel 500 feet wide and a depth of thirty feet on the bar. This is not sufficient. We most have a channel at least 2,000 feet wide and thirty-five refit deep from the western limits of the city to the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing less will be a first- class harbor, and this Is the kind and character of harbor the Deep Water Committee, by a unanimous vote, has decided to continue its fight for." SEAWALL EXTENSION WORK.

Work Completed to Battovj-. Work on the Government extension to the seawall is progressing under favorable conditions, and all the forces engaged on the different parts of the work are working full Wast. Tho big piledriver, engaged in putting down the round piling, is now at work between the second and third batteries of Fort Crockett. The little driver, engaged in the work of putting in tho sheet piling, was eatpected yesterday to close up the work between the flrst and second batteries early this morning. When this Is completed it will be moved around to the west side of the second battery.

The big mixer employed in constructing the superstructure has completed the first eighteen sections, and will, it Is expected, finish the remaining two within the next two or three days, when the next series of alternating sections will be commenced. It is expected to carry on this work without delay. Tho number of feet of completed work to date is 1,026. Tho work of placing riprap has been completed nearly to the flrst battery.

M. O. A. Miss Ida Benfey, in her stories ot Joseph in the land of Egypt arid the story of the book ot Job was the attraction at the T. M.

C. A. last night. Miss Bem'ey told the old Bible story of Joseph In an 'entertaining way and placed the life ot Joseph before her audience in a different light than many had previously seen it. She was earnest In delivery and graceful in her pose, but oftentimes allowed her voice to lapse into a whisper so low that her words were not dis-' tinguibhable to many in her audience.

In her second story, the Book of Job, sho had the opportunity ot giving a greater display of her elocutionary qualifications and at times both her manner of delivery and position assumed were quite dramatic. Her first story, however, had the better entertaining Qualities and appeared to please her audience best. Miss Benfey displayed considerable energy and American resource in arranging for her entertainment In this city. By some mistake her baggage was held up at Marshall and in order to get It here in time for her use last evening she had to provide a special train from Houston, which came to this city at the rate of nearly a mile a It reached the rity on time, and th8 entertainment was in no wise delayed. Col.

WM Here. Col. Arthur Murray of tho AjUllery Corns of the United States army was in the city yesterday. The purpose of Ills visit was to make an inspection of the forts located here and he spent yesterday going over them with Capt. Jadwin, Chief of Engineers.

Col. Murray's post is at Fort Totten, N. where he is commandant of the School of Submarine Defense. It is thought by some that his visit here has some bearing upon tho complement of artillerymen to garrison the three forts. There have been no barracks constructed so far since the recon- "structlon following the storm of 1900, hut it is thought that as soon as the work on the forts is completed tho barracks will also be ready and the men stationed at once.

gewer Exiejifrton Besrnn. Contractor James Kelso stated yesterday that he placed a number of men and teams at work on the extension ot tho Thirty- Third street sewer drain yesterday morning. This combination sewer and drain at the present time has its northern terminus at a point near Avenue A and Thirty-Third street, and the contract for its extension will place its terminus in tho channel of the hay near the coal elevator and west of the Moody compress.
