mile wide from the west bank Of Newark Bay.
short distance north OF the Passaic Light. and run
it back threequarters OF mile to the east end OF
the city. Mr. Labadie would accomplish this with
hydraulic dredges, and he would fill in the Ave
thousand more acres of marsh land, at present
useless with the silt and stone his pumps drew
up; The total cost. he figures. would % about
$25O,OO0 II would be necessary to dredge the chan
mel of Newark Bay about a mile. to admit ocean
going ships. The sides of the canal could be rein
firm.
Newark Bay is deep enough to afford easy pas
sage for ships to the Narrows. and il canal were
cut through Bergen Point, using part Of the MOT,

make Newark practically accessible TO ocean
going shiDs NeW-YOrk.
