Scheme to Fill Them In to
Be Revived.

An application made to the State Ri
parian Board at its meeting in this city
this morning made it apparent that the
scheme for the reclamation of the Hack
ensack Meadows, which has been lying
dormant for some time past, is to be re-
viyed.
James B. Vredenburgh, the local coun-
sci for the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, made formal application to the
board for grant of the riparian rights
on the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers
of the land lying between the tracks of
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Nor
ris Canal.
Mr.. Vredenburgh said he made the ap-
piicatIon at this time mainly for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what price the Com
missioners would ask for the grant, as its
acceptance by the company would de-
pend upon the price.
" iiSii "shcu II II HdS the purpose VI
the company to fill in the land back of
the grant asked for he replied that he
understood such was the intention. The
board took the matter under advise
ment.
1t was said that the company pro-
posed to use for filing in purposes the
soil which the Government win excavate
in making the contemplated improve
ments in the Hackensack and Passaic
Rivers. When asked if that was so, Mr..
vredenburgh said he knew nothing of
the company's plans for filling in the
meadows.
