TO RECLAIM SALT MEADOWS.
SENATOR KEAN's PROJECT MEETS WITH AP-
PRovAL IN NEw-JERsEY.

PROVAL IN NEW JERSEY.
The plans Of United States Senator Kean. of
New-Jersey. for reclaming a large tract of salt
meadow on Newark Bay were discussed at some
length in Jersey City business circles yesterday
Mr.. Kean's project laid before the Army and
Navy Harbor Board in NewYork on Tuesday
After recaiming the meadow land his plan is to
build docks deep water in the bay. He went
over the history OF attempted salt meadow reclaim
alton and made argument TO show that his
scheme practical than any hitherto
considered He proposes, by system OF bulkhead-
ing and dklng. to fill in with soil tracts of meadow
land with a frontage OF 1900 feet on the bay. He
pense himself, and that the improvement would not
cost the government dollar. if the privilege of
diking was granted to him. Mr. Kean showed that
from the Singer Sewing Machine Works at Eliza
b. .thport, Perth Amboy, the New-Jersey water
front is almost entirely occupied by prosperous
recaiming the salt meadows in the manner pro-
posed by him II would be long before this
now useless land would be sought for as sites for
factories.
Senator Kean has already received from the
New-Jerscy Riparian Commis sion the right to
application to the War and Navy departments
comprehends the extension of these docks to the
bays channel. The hope was expressed in Jersey
City and in Newark that the Army and Navy
Board would grant Mr.. kean the privilege which
he asks. 1t said that, in addition TO his own
large interest in the matter, there was no doubt
that New-Jersey and New-York capital would be
GLAD to find investment along the waterfront as
rapidly the contemplated improvements were
made.
