Residents qf Freeport and other communities of the south side of the Island are particularly pleased with the recent action of Governor Whit¬ man in signing the McWhinney bill directing the state engineer and sur¬ veyor to investigate the plan of the United States government for the con¬ struction of the inland waterway and to make the necessary surveys, esti¬ mate the possible cost, and make any recommendations that may seem ad¬ visable.
Because of a general retrenchment n state expenditures and the lack of any positive declarations of the Fed- c.-al authorities as to their Intentlont., the Legislature did not deem it wise at this time to appropriate the $995,- 000 for the acquisition ot lands and rights ot way for the creation of the waterway. The members ot the Leg¬ islature are deeply Impressed with the advantages that the canal would af¬ ford In coastwise protection of New York harbor In oase ot warfare.
The matter has now assumed an offlclal status and the state engineer Is directed to present the subject to the Legislature tor further consider¬ ation before February 1, next. The entire south side of the Island Is eager for the waterway. The Federal Government, unofficially, has eaid that if New York State would take care of the expense ot acquiring tbe lands and rights ot way that they '.vould do the rest.
