WANT REVISION Of
PROPOSED INLAND
WATERWAY ROUTE
League of New Jersey SeashOre
municipalities Protest Against
Present Plan.
SAY THE CANAL WOULD
ISOLATE MANY CITIES
Also Declare That Scheme Could
Be Carried Out at a Lower
Cost.
Especial to the Evening start

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 12.-Demand
Is being made here and in a number of
other municipalities that there be an
important revision of the route of the
proposed inland waterway from Bay
Head to Cape May. and protests have
been authorized made to the Inland
Waterways Commission against the
survey as made by Commissioners
Schneider. This protest comes from the
League of New Jersey Seashore Munich
palities. which met here yesterday.
The complaint Is based on the fact
that the canal as planned at present
will be isolated from a dozen or more
of the established cities and towns and
that the route will be tortuous n too
expensive. 1t was stated that long.
roundabout courses are laid out, where
al short cuts through meadows would
max the canal less expensive and at
the same time make the route more
direct. Farmers are also dissatisfied,
according to the statements made. be-
cause the canal as at present laid out
will be of less use to them than IL the
I'M were more direct.
I'VE don't know why the present sur
vey laid the channels in the present
location" said Mayor Stoy. of Atlantic
City, president of the league, "but we
do want them closer to our cities, and
the commission should consult the Gov
ernor about the route before there is a
to let any more contracts"
Similar complaints were lodged by
Mayor Miliette and Council
James f. Taylor. Of Cape May,
who claimed that just above Jarvis
sound a long detour is made around
island, which entails excessive cost
of dredging for several miles n which
could have been avoided by cutting
through a very narrow strip OF mead

In Barnegat Bay, in some places near
ly three miles from the coast towns,
does not approach to within a mile Of
that place.
Back of the eastern end Of Atlantic
City the surveyed route is about two
through Clam ~Thoroughfare.
Boating men claim that by a smaller
amount of dredging hat a channel
could be constructed at least a mile
and a half nearer the city.
Back of B%rigantine Beach there Is an
other big detour. which. it is claimed.
Is not made absolutely necessary by the
of the meadow channels.
