SHIP CANAL PROJECT.
Greater New York Association OPP
poses the Movement

New York. July 24.-Strong opposition
to the ship canal project was expressed
at meeting yesterday Of the sub
executive committee OF the Greater
New York Canal association and the
canal committee of the exchange. The
purpose of the conference was to con-
slider the report of the deep waterway
commission on the ship canal propo-
sition- After a prolonged discussion of
the subject it was unanimously decided
to continue the campaign for the i'm
prOvement of the state waterways by
the state along the lines already
mapped out. According to the state
ment of the chairman of the meeting,
Mr.. Henry B. Herbert, the sentim emit
of the conference was unanimously
against the ship canal proposition
Principal among the reasons for this
opposition, Mr. Herbert said, was the
feeling amounting almost to a. GER
tainty that New York would never
abandon her canals. or in other words,
turn them over to the national govern
ment, as would be required according
to the commissions report before the
government would undertake the con-
struction of ship canal
Mr.. Herbert said that serious doubts
were entertained as to whether the
deep waterway proposition could be
carried out.
