PRESENT ROUTE FAVORED.
Purchase Of Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal Recommended.

A report favorable to the present Chesa-
peake and Delaware canal. or Back creek
route, across the Maryland and Delaware
peninsula, has been submitted to Secretary
Taft by the Chesapeake and Delaware
canal commission, consisting of Gen Felix
Agnus, chairman; Maj. o. a. F. Flagler,
U. s. A, and Civil Engineer Frank Taylor
Chambers. U. S. N.
The commission was appointed last sum-
mer to report upon the Back creek route
and the Sassafras river route, and upon the
desirability of purchasing the present
canal and the construction of free and
open waterway with sufficient depth to ac-
commodate the largest ships afioat. The
present route is held to be more desirable
because it has equal commercial and stra-
tegic advantages and will, in the opinion of
the commission, be 81. 10000 cheaper than
the other route.
1t is recommended in the report that not
more than S2.514, $50 be paid for the pres
ent canal. The commission further recon-
mends that the present canal be bought

without delay and that it be gradually

accommodating ships of any draft.
Although there were many arguments be-
fore the commission for a shallow canal be-
tween the Delaware and Chesapeake bays,
which would supplement the proposed barge
canal between Beaufort, n. c.. and Nor
folk, Va, the commission is firmly of the
opinion that nothing less than a thirty
fve-foot canal should be constructed. Ee-
Inmates for canal of this depth and with
minimum width of $50 feet submitted
The width is extended to 200 feet in
marshes, and in curves is increased to $50
feet. A sea-level canal OF the dimensions
named would, in the opinion of the COM
mission, cost $40, GU ,S23, with a thirty
foot channel. such a canal would cost ST.
312 1854.
Such a canal would shorten the distance
between Baltimore and Philadelphia 323
miles, and would lessen the distance be-
tween Baltimore and the mouth of the Del
aware by 1874 miles.
The report states that all hearings con-
Quoted by the commission showed congeS-
ton Of freight throughout the east which
