DEEP CHANNEL
NOW ASSURED.
Will be Made the Entire Length
of Staten Island Sound For
Big Vessels.

A deep channel through the entire
length of Staten Island sound from
this city to New York is now in pro-
spect. Former Mayor Peter Bennett,
of Elizabeth, chairman of the joint
waterways committee, representing
the Elizabeth Board of Trade and the
Staten Island Chamber of Commerce,
today received word from W. H. Tay-
lor, of Jersey City, that the latter a
been informed by the Chief OF the
Engineers CT United States of the
governments acceptance of his pro-
posal to construct the new t~wenty-one
foot channel in Staten Island sound.
The appropriation bill provided that
as soon as the proposed lines of a
mel had been laid out and accepted by
I the government officials, part of this
sum should be Immediately available.
Now that this point has been reached
it is expected that the work on harbor
improvement, which will be of in
estimable advantage to Elizabeth and
the territory adjacent to the sound,
will be proceeded with at once.
The work covers 3, 766, $50 yards of
dredging, and should be commenced
within thirty days of The acceptance
of MI. Taylor's bid which was Octob-
er 10.
This channel begins just east of
Shooter Island, and passes between it
and the Staten Island shore. South
of this point the principllssdrecging re-
quired to obtain t~wenty-one feet OF
water at low tide is near the mouth
of the Railway river, and between
Carteret and Woodbridge creek across
Storey's flats.
These lines were laid out by Col.
Barlow, U. S. Engineer, and reported
favorably to Congress, February 3,
1900. The act authorizing the ex-
penditure OF $500, 900, for the execu-
tion of this work was passed i'll June,
1902, and made 800, 900 thereof i'm
mediately. Congress at its last session
increased this available sum to $780,
600; and, as the contract is now
awarded, the amount necessary to
complete the project will no doubt be
speedily appropriated.

SAYS HE DREW KNIFE.

Dennis Mahoney was arrested by
Patrolman Schultz last night. Josef
Grubez claimed that Mahoney had
drawn a knife to cut him.
Mahoney said he was in the latter S
saloon drinking, and upon giving
Grubez a five dollar bill to pay for
drinks, Grubez kept back 80. 45 for an
old bill. This did not suit him and
he objected and Grubez says he drew
a knife. AS no witness was present
and the complainant says he did not
see the knife open, the charge could
not be proved, the case was dismissed.

eminent guests by President Monroe
at Oak Hill. Leesburg, too, the his

county seat, accorded him honors on

town, John Quincy Adams delivered n

they became, the more precious they
were.
