under the head of Maryland. doubt
ia expressed. " says the Philadelphia
Press whether this misloeation of
the proposed new survey of the Della
waro invalidates it, since it appears to
apply to some Delaware river In Mary
land. The act directs the Secretary OF
War at his discretion to cause SURVEYS
to be made and the cost of improve

Delaware river, with view to obtain
ing channel 600 feet wide and 30 feet
deep from point at or near the city
OF Philadelphia to the deep water of

The Secretary Of War might per-
haps take evidence to prove that Phiia-
delphia is not in Maryland and that the
only Delaware river in the United
States is the broad stream that ashes
the eastern boundary Of Pennsylvania
and does not touch the State Of Mary
land ut any point. With that evidence
before him perhaps he will bo justified
in causing a survey to bo made for 30

river where nature placed it, ignoring
the provision OF tho law which requires
him to make that survey in Maryland.
