The desrabny. from the pont of view of State interests, Of the construction
Of an inland waterway along tbs South Jersey coast from Bay Head to Cape
May was pointed out by the STAR when HI enterprise was projected. The
waterway will when in operation. be a great factor in the development of
lively little development and viii make habtable large sections for IN indus
trial population. The seaside resorts will also be greatly stimulated by it In
cutting w the appropriations he Legislature last year appropriated $4,000
for the waterway and the appropriation bill for next year contains N item of
$4,000 for the same object The money has been exhausted this year and no
more is available until November /. 1t is necessary to d % some additional work
