Japan to Dredge River Twenty Miles

New York, Oct 7.-Yeija Nakajima,
chief engineer OF the city of Toxic,
Japan, and professor of engineering and
mechanics in the University of Toxic. is
in this country on a tour of inspection.
In an interview he said:
After a careful examination of your
rivers, harbors and wharfage, I have
arrived at the belief that can, by dredg-
ing, bring big ships up to Toxic. We
are about twenty. miles from Yokohama,
and there will be a lot of work to be
done, but we will do it, Toxic has about
1,500, 900 inhabitants, and her interests
would be greater than they are now II
we had a waterway through which big
vessels could pass to the city Even at
Yokohama vessels must be unloaded by
lighters.
THE whole job-dredging and wharf
building-Wil cost about 81, DOC, 600 OF
your money The interest on money is
high over there and we would have to
borrow great deal. Counting interest
and all. the $21, 900, 900 will amount to
$50, O00, 900 before the job will be finished.
But am sure the city will do the work.
American methods will be followed
From this city Mr.. Nakajima viii go
to Yale to attend the bicentennial cele-
bration. He says that Toxic is to have
a trolley line, and he is anxious to be-
come acquainted with American trolley
methods. he saws.
