SMYRNA RIVER.
Government Engineers Think I'M
provements Should be Made to 1t.

In what was known as the Emergency
River and Harbor act, which was passed
by Congress in June last, among the sur
veys authorized to be made were several
streams emptying into Delaware River
and bay. IA
A SURVEY Of the Smyrna river was
made to determine the advisability of OBJ
tanning two cross sections to shorten
the distance from the head of navigation
to Delaware Bay. The engineers, Cen
eral W. r. Smith and George w. T..
Miller, recommend that the Improvement
be made, and estimate that the cost
would be $4,000.
The commerce of Smyrna river last
year was reported to be 339,791 tons,
valued at $S,769,275, which iustifies the
proposed expenditure. From surveys of
the Mispillion river the engineers re-
commend that additional Improvements
Fbe made in that stream, and they esti-
: mate the cost at $S7,OOO This river has
been under improvement by the govern
.-iHefit since 1879.
