That Marshes be Ex-
perimented On
PROFESSOR CLARK,
BALTIMOREAN, FAVORS IDEA

Congressman Hiram r. Burton. one
of the representatives from Delaware
to the National Drainage Congress,
now in session in Baltimore, is the
prime instigator of a movement to
have Delaware and Maryland be the
first to derive a benefit from the lll
important plan of drainage improve
ment. and when the Drainage Con-
gress convened this morning he intro
duced a resolution to effect that the
body now in session agree that first Of
the drainage work under the super
vision of the government shall have it's
starting point IN two States, namely,
Maryland and Delaware
Working hand in hand with the Del
aware Congressman is Prof. William
Bullock Clark. director and professor
Of geology. Johns Hopkins University.
Center Of Population.
Congressman Burton argues that the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland and Della
ware are about in the centre Of popu-
lation, and that as the work which
win be zone under the appropriation
which is expected from Congress win
be largely in the nature of an expert
ment, that such experiments should be
made at as small a cost as possible,
and at the same time pursued with the
idea of deriving the greatest possible
results.
In the States suggested, Congress
man Burton says that the swamp lands
are not so extensive as arc TO be found
I'm some OF the Eastern and Western
Cfafoq and in r.aea The u1ofhod Of
drainage as first pursued is not all that
might be expected. still the outlay of
money would not be as vast nor the
loss felt to such an appreciable extent
as would otherwise follow.
