UTILIZING JERSEY CIIGS WATER FRONI.
General Newton is preparing maps OF the pro-
posed ship canal across the narrow peninsula just
south of the Greenvle portion of Jersey City. At
the last regular session of Congress jersey City was
made a port of entry, and Henry S. White, of that
city, has been appointed Collector. In order to Sc
cure the full benefit of the water front of Jersey
City it will be necessary TO shorten the distance be-
tween the Hackensack River and New-YOrE Bay.
The proposed ship canal, which will be on y one
mile long will shorten the distance about eleven
miles Congress passed an act authorizing pre-.
liminary survey of the canal, and the question OF
the feasibility of the plan was referred to General
Newton. An examination of the ground was made
Tuesday by General Newton, ex-Congressman HaT,
denbergh Matthew Armstrong, Robert Currle and
Others 1t is proposed to utilize the Morris Canal
for a portion of the distance, and it Is thought
passage can be cut through the peninsula Tor the
passao oe of vessels at a comparatively small cost
