NAY TAKE THE QUEENSTOWN ROUTE.
Board of Engineers May Decide to Cut
the New Ship Canal Across the Ex-
trsme Southern Part Of the state.

Board of Engineers May Decide to Cut
the New Ship Canal Across the Ex-
trsme Southern Part of the State.
It is believed that the competent board
of military, naval and civil engineers, in
whose hands the selection Of a route for
the proposed ship canal across Delaware,
connecting the harbor of Baltimore with
the deep water of Delaware bay, has
been left, will select the Queenstown
route, as the ideal one.
This route would require vessels to
leave the Chesapeake ut the mouth of
the Chester river, to lpass up that river
and Queenstown creek to Queens
town, whence a channel must be con-
strueted from sixty 10 eighty feet deep,
passing la an air line to Broadkill creek
two and three fourth miles above its
mouth at Wiltbank's Landing Thence
the line would pass direct TO the Della
ware bay, three miles above Lewes This
line lies nearest to straight course
from Baltimore eastward across the p en-
insula
1t would require an excavation of 63
miles in length, costing $37 900 600; it
would consume II hours in passage of
ships from Baltimore to the ocean, and
would save 16 hours and 21s miles over
the trip around the capes. while the cost
OF maintaining the canal after it is built
would, 1t is supposed, be less than upon
any of the other courses
The passage from Baltimore around
the capes to the ocean is reckontd at 834
miles, and 1t will be only question OF
time when other points to the southwark
win have facilities for commanding
inland business equal to those of BAlti.
more and some of them better ones; and
when that time comes the cost of
transportation up and down the Chesa-
peake will be an important element in
the problem of foreign trade.
