sections OF the Intervening seaboar states. II
would reduce the price Of fuel building materials
and manufactured articles in all section, connected
with these waters. but especially in New-YOrk where
il is estimated S3,0O0,00O would lie saved on fuel
alone The commerce of the Delaware IS greater than
that o; the Hudson by nearly 2.00Ooo0 tons. and the
canal would enable it 10 reach the harbor OF New
York in much less time ana at less cost and risk with
consequent lower rates for insurance. than by the
Capes Of the Delaware. The plan provides for
channel thty-th miles long. which is eleven miles
shorter than the Delaware and Raritan. There would
