Book excerpt: Excerpt from Message of the Governor to the General Assembly: Extra Session, 1866 In January, 1852, the subject was brought for the first time to the attention of the Board of Trade of the City of Baltimore, and through their efforts mainly, resulted in an appropriation of on the part of the City. The Legislature also granted a return to the City of auction duties, amounting to about per annum, and Congress appropriated in the River and Harbor Bill of that year. These moneys have been judiciously expended, and have demonstra ted the practicability of deepening the Patapsco River to any required extent, with the assurance of permanency, when so improved. Commercially, the West and North West have the deepest interest in the extension of our great line of im provement, and, in a National point of view, it may be assumed that from the Tortugas to the Bay of Fundy, with perhaps a single exception, the Chesapeake Bay offers the most tempt ing point for the investment and anchorage of an invading squadron.
