FOR The DELAWARE.
ANOTHER COMMITTEE HEARD
YESTERDAY.

$4,000 TO IMPROVE THE DELLA
WARE RIvER-NECEsSITY OF
THIRTY-FooT CHANNEL EX-
PLAINED.
A special from Washington contains
the following, in which the shipping
and commercial men of Wilmington
are interested:
Joel Cook. William r. Tucker and
l.. Y. Schermerhorn, representing the
Joint executive committee on the Della
ware river improvements, were given a
hearing yesterday by the sub-commit-
tee OF the House Appropriations Com
mittee having charge Of the formation
of the Sundry Civil bill. The hearing
was arranged by General Bingham,
who was present. The project for the
thiIty-fOot channel is accepted by the
Engineer Department as part of the
general plans for the improvement of
the river below Christian street, Phila-
delphia. It is understood the River and
Harbcr Committee regards that project
as fully determined upon and to be taken
into consideration in the River and
HarbOr bill in connection with apprO-
priations for the Delaware river that
may be provided for in that bill.
Chairman Burton, of the River and
HarbOr Committee was present at the
hearing. The entire matter of the
river improvements was gone over by
Messrs. Cook, Tucker and Schermer-
horn, and the necessity and justifica-
ticn for the thirty-fOot channel fully
explained. 1t was shown that with the
appropriations still available for this
improvement, if an additional sum of
S270000 should be appropriated in the
forthcoming Sundry Civil bill, the
work could be carried on until the end
OF the next fiscal year, or until further
provision could be made for continuing
the work in the River and Harbor and
Sundry Civil bills that will be enacted
at the short session of the present Con-
gress.
The subcommittee seemed favOTably
impressed with the showing made by
Messrs Cook, Tucker and Schermer-
horn, and the indications for securing
the appropriation of S270,000 are con-
siderod encouraging. General Bing-
ham is not a member of the sub-com-
mittee having the formulation OF the
Sundry Civil bill in charge, but being
member of the general committee, he
will have opportunity to watch this
particular item. and he is quite conf
dent that il will be found in the bill
when reported TO the House.
