Capt E M Adams reports the chief of engineers may back continued Santee and Congaree river improvements. Proposed channels include Winyah Bay to Santee via Estherville Minim creek canal at six feet deep and 100 feet wide, Santee to Senate Street at four feet low water to Camden via Wateree, with Granby dam crest raised two feet. Project cost about 200000 dollars. Commissioner Watson and the Columbia Chamber foresee adoption and faster navigation growth. Local vessel operator plans bond to add a second boat as Camden improves its schemes.
