Ito uhe Government to be- put into eff

channel project, provides for the cut
ting of deep channel through the
Horseshoe Shual ON this side of uhc
river thus dcilecting tho channel from
the Jersey sh1re over to the Ponnsyl-
vania side Of tine river. This, engineers
declare, would straighton the channel
save nearly a mile ON tlio journey To
and from the sea, and by giving q d.
rect flow to the current permit the fec
to move freely down to the bay
The channel now is at what De-
known as HowelNs Cove. where the ice
.is always clogged because of the deer
.cut and decided curve at that point. Ac-
Icording to the plan to be suggested Gae

about the same, while in the north
western part they are better. having
had some good rains this spring.
There has been quite a change in
the climatic conditions in our state
