SINEPUXENT
INLET
Many people and officials
attended the hearing yesterday by Colonel Earl Brown, the
U. S. Engineer of
Wilmington District and Captain Harry Tunis , U. S. Engineer, to
hear probable
commercial benefits and the
extent of local co-operation it the reopening project of Sinepuxent
Inlet
which will allow salt
seawater to enter the bay , to revive the sea food business of the
area.
Efforts are being made by
Maryland's Legislature to reopen the inlet and appropriate funds to
go
with U. S. Government funds
which will pay 2/3 of the cost. .
Mayor McCabe of Ocean
City was also present and told of the sea food industry's loss as
result
of the inlet closing and
the importance of restoring the fish, oysters, crabs and clams to the
Sinepuxent
bay waters.
It appears there is
considerable interest in the project and Col. Brown's survey is to
be
completed by the first of
the year, submitted to the War Department for final approval.
