HARBOR SHOULD BEJEEPENED - CAPT. HUTSON, OF THE COAST 2 GUARD CUTTER "KICK A POO," 2 SAYS SHOALS .ARE MENACE TO BIG SHIPS ENTERING i Captain J- J. Hutson, of the Coast t Guard Cutter Kickapoo, is anxious ■ that the entrance to Caipe May hart bor be re-dredged at once as the skip- . per is quoted as saying that unless I the work is begun within the next , few months the entrance to the har- . bor will fill uo so fast that it will be dangerous for craft drawing more than fifteen feet to come into the harj bor- It is imperative that the Board 5 of Trade, Progressive League, Chamber of Commerce, and city officials of : both this ritv and Wildwood take kn- | mediate action to have the work done - 1 at once- - s j Caiptain Hutson in his report to his superior officers shows that the , Coast Guard Cutter Kickapoo has - 1 saved over one million two hundred t j and fifty thousand dollars worth of i shipping of the New Jersev coast s I within the last five months. Contain j Hutson went to the assistance of the | ill-fated steamer "Northern Pacific," I which burned arid sank off- Fathom .IBank Lightship in February. He a! . so went to tee aid of the steamer "Naribo" in distress, and the submar- .' ine E-ll, in trouble off the Delaware Capes. He also went to the assist- ' ance of several schooners off the , coast. i I Captain Hutson is the hero of a I wreck of a coast guard cutter off the , Alaskian coast some years ago. I The haibor has been used this year I I by over one hundred and fifty schoon- ! | ers and other craft of the Gloucester j mackerel fleet who have caught many . thousands of barrels of fish. They have been shipped by tee' , railroads and by fast automobile i , trucks to all the markets of the large I , cities of the east. The railroads ; should wake ud to the fact of the | value of Cape May harbor as they , have gotten thousands of dollars of . revenue from both freight and pas- , sengers out of the harbor. , Unless something is done at once ' | many boats will come into Cape May i . haibor for both a harbor in time of . storm and for coal, which has saved I them goinv to Philadelphia- or New- ' for coal and water and even j ■ gasoline. Will have to go elsewhere , for supplies and shelter. Business men of this city and Wildwood awake, as Atlantic City is now | arranging for the expenditure of two millions of dollars on Absecon Inlet and unless the Cape May county fojk j awake from their lethargy. Cape , May's biggest asset, the land-locked | , will be useless unless some- j ; thing is done at once. MONTHLY MEETING OF THE P. O. S. of A. | The regular monthly meeting of the ! Cape May Count" P.
