rHr nrLAwARE CHANNEL.

The interests of Wilmington and
Delaware in the improvement Of the
channel of Delaware river are second
TO the interests OF Philadelphia only
and every influence OF Delaware ought
to seek early deepening of the channel.
Discussing the channel question the
Philadelphia Inquirer says
Chairman Barton, OF the River and
Harbor Committee of the House OF
Representatives, Officially announces
that in an probability a river and
harbor appropriation bill will not be
presented at this session of Congress.
He says that the engineers force Will
be occupied during the coming year
with projects already provided for;
that In many cases plans for improve
ments are not even completed; that
in others advertisements for bids have
not been made, and that because OF the
increase in the price of material some
projects cannot be completed for the
estimated amounts.
This Is all very we'll in its way, but
there are some projects where the
plans have been completed and where
all that Is required is the apprOpria-
tiOn. How about the Delaware river,
for instance? The estimates have
been made. and unless Congress pro-
vides for carrying out the plans great
hardship to this port will result. The
government has spent n great deal OF
money In digging out the Delaware
river channel. We are ready to han
die an immense trade, but we cannot
bring the largest ships here until the
channel is deepened. The engineers
have completed their Investigations
have made their estimates and theil
reports We are sending out i'm
mense cargOes OF coal and grain ant
oil and Of general merchandise. Some
thing like two hundred vessels vii
be required during the coming year e
bring to Philadelphia the iron orr
alone that will be needed In thi
neighborhOod. Our commercial inter
ests are growing and Philadelphia ha
a right to expect Of the governmen
fair treatment. The big transatlanti
lines cannot send the great vessel
that are so essential to oceanic traffi
to Philadelphia because Of the lack o
water In the river channel. Does MI
Barton not know this. and. after al
that Philadelphia has done for hersel
and after the reports that have bee
made by the governments onlcial.
would he and his committee delibel
ately block the progress OF the port?
