Half Million for N C Waterways
The Army Engineers recommended 596 750 dollars for North Carolina rivers and harbors for the fiscal year ending June 30 1935. Of that amount 245 000 dollars would fund Wilmington harbor work while Cape Fear river project funds already approved by the Public Works Administration total 1 520 000 dollars. The intracoastal waterway from Cape Fear River to Wilmington Bay is excluded from NC totals as its funds go primarily to South Carolina.
