Pamlico River Channel Funding Sought for Harbor Deepening
Rep. Herbert C. Bonner urged a House Appropriations subcommittee to approve 342000 to deepen the Pamlico River channel from Pamlico Sound to the Washington harbor, citing a 20 year delay and debris from hurricanes. He warned the harbor now handles grain, petroleum, and sugar shipments less than the 12 foot depth and urged timelier work. He also urged enlarging the Wanchese harbor due to growing commercial use by fishing and shrimp trawlers, arguing a strong market justifies early expansion.
