Deeper Channel Survey

The work of making a prelimary survey
for a 35-foot channel from Philadelphia
to the sea is progressing rapidly and is
now completed as far ar Liston's Point.
Delaware Bay, by the United States en-
gineers. The survey will nor extend to
the Delaware Breakwater, but only to
deep water in the bay at a point a short
distance below Bombay Hook. 1t is ex-
pected that the work will be completed
in September.
The survey is being made with a view
to obtaining a channel not only OF 80 feet
in depth, but OF a greater width, in line
with the increasing size and draft oil, craft
necessary for the present and prospective
commerce that will seek the port OF
Philadelphia. Major Deakyne, the
United States engineer in charge of the
survey, states that the test borings take
up considerable time and labor. as the
character of the soil varies in the diff
erent parts OF the river and bay. This
matter is important, as it will largely
determine the cost of ~excavating in the
proposed channel.
The work of removing a shoal in the
Delaware River below Trenton known
as the Sewar Shoal was completed last
week, after two months OF labor under
q contract with the American Dredging
Company. The shoal practically blocked

One of the good features added to
the new tariff law is tie l per cent tax
alton on the net incomes on corporations.
While the tax may be small in the
aggregate yet the publicity required OF
the capital stock paid in, the bondedln-
debtedness, gross receipts and net in
come should do much towards exposing
the mushroom and paper-made corpor-
alton which are promoted to sell stock
and rob the gullible public. Every
corporation should be. required to pub
lish a statement like a national bank
and when an official of a corporation
does an act against the law hesbould be
as liable to imprisonment as much as IT
he had committed a criminal act in a
private business.

FRIDAY. AUGUST 20, 1909.

The Georgia Legislature has voted
against the income tax amendment to
the u. S. Constitution by IN oyerwhel-
ming majority. Que of the reasons
given was that the direct taxation of
individuals was an infringeme nt on state
rights; that the U. S. government should
be run on the taxation received from
tariff duties and from internal revenue,
principally on the manufactures of to.
bacco and liquors.
