Change Of Three Feet IN Depth
at Landing Bridge Near
New Brunswick.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Jan. ill.,
While all this talk is going on about
a%bolishing the tow path and giving
the river a deeper channel to improve
shipping conditions in New Bruins
wick, how many are aware that the
head of navigation in the Raritan
river has shifted over a mile down.
the stream since commerce was be@l
gun on the stream?
In New Brunswick's early DAYS.
the point where the Landing Bridge
now crosses was the head of naviga-
ton, a fact which gave the location
its name of Raritan Landing. That
was a century and a half age, and
present day New Brunswick was
nothing but Prigmore swamp. Good
sized sailing vessels could go up to
the landing then.
But 1t is within the memory Of men
now living that sloops could go up to
the landing. There was plenty of
water to float them up at high tide
and at low tide they rested on bot
tom, tiding over to the side while
they waited for high tide. They
would tilt over there at high tide
now.
The natural presumption is that
the river has filled up with sediment.
but such is not the case. The bed
around the Landing is rock bottom.
The explanation is that the river bed
has risen. This is vouched for by w.
Valiant, curator of the Rutgers Col
lege Museum, whose interest in geol-
ogy has led him to inquire somewhat
into the matter. He says that the
rise Is due to the steady earth motion
that is going on everywhere. 1t is a
slow imperceptible motion for the
most part, except when a sudden slip
in a geological fault" occurs when
there is an earthquake.
Mr.. Valiant say that several old
residents, including John Voorhees,,
sexton of the First Reformed church,
and David Robotham, have spoken to
him about the increasing shallowness
of the water at the Landing, and that
the river bed has risen there has been
verified by markings. The ruins of
the old docks at the Landing furnish
evidence, too. The rise in the life
time of the men named has been at
least three feet.
Below S~ayreville, Mr.. Valiant says,
there Is evidence OF a corresponding
sinking of the river bed, but this is
nearly counteracted by mud deposits.
Along the New Brunswick water
front there has been practically no
change in the river bed from geolog-
ical changes during the towns his
tory, but there has been a filling up
from sediment brought by the river.
and by the waste dumped into the
water when the railroad and wagon
bridges were built.
