Major Langtltt and other local engineer who examined this harbor recommend it Improvement to the extent of an eight-foot channel to th wharves. Thl tssn be accomplished for $.10,000, but It will cost 113,(1110 a year for inlnten ano. They slat that th commerce ot thi port disss not justify such expen diture, but believe th foverasnent should provide an adequate channel In order to afford sstisfactory water com munication with Fort Canhy, lisated just beyond Ilwaco, "lieneral McKensie, (hlef of Kngin ecrs, dors not concur in the recommenila lion of his subordinates, . take th position thst the army engineers ar interested only in improving waterway in the interest of commerce, Thi Im provement being primarily of benefit to the army, should be made at the ex pense of the army. Thi view will be concurred in by tha river aid harbor '-ommittee, so, if Ilwaco harbor is ever inproved, it must be by special act of migrrss, nd not by authority of th ' .her and harbor bill."
