Old Hotel to Go.

The historic old Stockton Hotel, one of
Merchantville's land marks, will soon be
thing of the past. In days before trolley
roads extended their branches into all the
suburbs, the Stockton was popular road
house, where hoTsemen knew there was
always good supper to be had In latter
years there was many political consulta-
tion in the big parlor Senator Johnson's
candidacy was decided there and in the
same room the leaders were wont to meet
local men of political influence.
Two years ago William Pancoast, who
conducted the hotel, moved into the more
modern hosiery, Merchantville Inn, and
the old building has rapidly fallen into
decay The Borough Council some weeks
ago decided to purchase the building and
surrounding grounds for the purpose of
erecting a town hall. Petitions are now
in circulation, preceding the vote for the
issue of bonds to that end. 1t is believed
that the present building will be used
/ temporarily for borough offices, and that
next spring the new town hall will stand
in place of the old Stockton Hotel

Col. Jared A. Smith, of the Army Corps
of Engineers, reports to the Chief of En-
gineers the condition of the streams and
harbors in his district, embracing South
Jersey. The points included are Rance
cas- river and Tuckerton creek, and vari-
Gus Improvements in Delaware, with GER
tain surveys not of local interest to New
Jersey people. A cursory examination of
the Rancocas was made in the latter part
OF June last to ascertain the present con-
dition of the channels. The indications
are, he says, that no permanent benefit in
increased depth and width of channels can
reasonably be expected to result from
dredging, without other works of the ma
ture of wing doors or training walls to
regulate the width and depth of the cur
rents. The cost of such works would
probably exceed any resulting benefits to
commerce, and therefore the river is not
considered as being worthy of further i'm
provement. The depths in the main river
at Mount Holly branch are now no greater
than in 1881, and the depths obtained on
the Lumberton branch are resuming
original conditions The balance unex-
pended July l, 1901, Mount Holly branch,
was $399.7O The amount appropriated
by the last river and harbor act was
$4,000 Therefore, the unexpended bal
ance July 1, 1902, was So, 1893 70, which
balance is available. The appropriations
have been, altogether, $45, 900, beginning
in 1881. OF this $1,000 was expended on
the Mount Holly branch, $1,000 on the
Lumberton branch, $4,000 having been
appropriated below the Fords on and pre-
vious to September 10, 1890
The appropriation of last June for
Tuckerton creek was $4,000 The navi
gable part Of the stream is but two miles
from the upper wharf at Tuckerton to the
mouth of the creek; thence to Gaunt's
Point, Of mile. The estimated cost of
dredging channel five feet deep one
fourth OF mile long at the head and six
feet deep the remaining % is $61, $50,
which covers nothing for annual mainte |
nance. 1t appears doubtful whether the
channel can be maintained at reasonable |
cost, and in any event whether the bene-
fits to commerce will be at all common |
surate with the expense No revenue was
during the year at the nearest
port of entry.
