PLAN To RECLAIM THE
MEADOW LANDS ALONG
STATEN ISLAND SOUND.
Continued from first page.

Or must the cost be ~prohibitive. Nor
the difficulty of laying the cost such
is to make it impossible to work the
plan.
1t is thought that a workable plan
may be suggested nat will redeem the
whole situation from Perth Amboy to
Hackensack which will have lone of
these or other difficult objections.
One plan suggested is to elevate the
marsh land by material taken from
C lnals throughout the marsh or by ex.
traneous material. The plan of Mr..
Vermeule contemplates a like protec-
ton against the tides by e~levating at
the shore lines only-the ordinary
method of diklng along the water.
courses and draining the interior parts
through the dixie line with automatic
tide gates emptying at low tide.
The present plan contemplates con-
structions at two points only-namely,
one at or about on a line from Totten-
Vile to Perth Amboy, and two from
Port Richmond to Bergen Point.
These controlling works would consist
at both places of masonry and steel
bulkheads, in all abont three thousand
feet long, with suitable gate, which
would prevent the higher parts of the
tides from passing respectively
t~hroughsAr shursKillland KilBron Kull
and affecting about forty-five thousand
acres, including the lower uplands OF
Staten Island and in New Jersey.
These gates would BIZ opened when
the outer water got at q tide level
lower than the almost constant inner
level.
This latter level would be normally
but slightly affected by water which
had accumulated between low tides.
The gates would be O part of a system
| ocking vessels through the %bulkheads,
which gates could stand open Tor o
period before and after the lowest
ebb. Wien the tide began to flow in
stronger the outer gates would be
closed, holding the inner level sub.
stantially q little above low tide, as
before stated. Two locks could, II
necessary, be made, one for vessels
passing each way. A moving incline
over the bulkhead for smaller craft
would save much of the labor of open.
ing locks and the necessary inflow OF
the outer water. This plan, briefly
stated, would lower and keep the
Height of the water within the struc'
ture for the whole forty miles Of
wateroourse to a little above low tide
at all times, preventing the high tide
from causing any substantial rlst
within them.
That would mean the equivalent Of
a filing in of the entire inner land
IRE to a depth of about four feet sly
inches, and hence would result in a
opportunity of thoroughly draining
the entire area. 1t would accomplish
by engineering work at two points
what is found to be difficult now at {
thousand points of engineering, com.
mercial, municipal, and personal com
plications. 1t would make cultivation
of, and even the erection of building,
on the entire area possible.

Climate.

We doubt if anything concern
ing Northern Wisconsin has been
more grossly misrepresented
than has it's climate. Especially
is this statement true with re-
gard to southern localities where
our climate is libeled unmerci-
fully. Through false and highly
colored statements the erroneous
impression has gone out that our
winters are extremely long and
severe, making this locality
very undesirable and un-
healthy place of habitation.
Nothing could be farther from
the truth. The winters of
Northern Wisconsin are not long,
nor are they extremely severe.
The climatic conditions prevail
ing here are similar to those of
the north central states, with an
abundance of snow and frost
during the winter months to re-
novate and fertilize the soil and a
moderate and evenly distribute
rainfall during the growing sea-
son, insuring prolific yield Of
of the crops sown, The climate
of Northern Wisconsin is, to a
certain extent, tempered by the
large bodies of water that lie adj
jacent to this district. Deem

er could not necessarily be
termed severe. The air is keen,
dry and bracing which to large
degree alleviates the cold and
makes the climate far more
pleasant than in localities farther
south. The summers are cool
and pleasant, which with abund-
ant sunshine, gives US a health
giving and an ideal climate.
During the past year the aver
age temperature for this section
has been so degrees above zero,
the average annual rainfall 35
inches and the snow fall 40
inches.
The rainfall is heaviest during
the summer months or IN the
season when moisture is most
needed for growing crops.
The wonderful curative climate
of Northern Wisconsin has a
worldwide reputation. The
fragrant, balsamic aroma of the
pines in the cool depths of the
forests or on the shores of it's
many and pretty lakes proves
not only beneficial but also agree
able to the invalid. The dry,
bracing air has very potent
curative power, especially in the
treatment of the organic dis
orders. Cum berland Advocate.
