structed, extending from Stony Point
to the lower end Of the artificial
island.

who have noted the results OF dikei
built In the river the past twenty
years are free in expressing opin
ions that the results have not beer
beneficial to the main channel an'
have been detrimental to the inshor

creeks from Elsinboro point to
Arnold's point One Of the best shoal
drifts for shad fishing would be ruin
ed as we'll as the dredging grounds
for seed oysters. All traffic in small
boats and vessels would be obliged to
pass TO the westward Of the artificial
island in going up and down the bay.
The recommendations also include
the building of high water dixie from
Round Island below Fishing Greek.
The dixie at Reedy Island will be
raised to high water mark. A dixie
will be built from the Jersey shore
below Thompsons Point to the upper
end Of Chester Island, thus closing up
| the eastern channel and another dixie
at Oldmans Point, about a mile into
the river. Fishermen, oystermen and
watermen along the eastern shore OF
the river are raising an objection
against the construction Of some OF
these dikes and il is hoped the plans
can be modified so the valuable iu-
dustries will not be ruined.

SUGGEST JETTY
PLAN FOR RIVER
BuIkheadS to Prevent ShOal-
ing Urged by PhiIadeIphia'S
Maritime Bodies
WIDENING THE RIVER
BENDS IS CONSIDERED

The Maritime Exchange and other
Philadelphia organizations working in
harmony with Major Deakyne, engi-
neer in charge of Delaware river inn
provements, is making a careful study
of the best means for permanently
improving and maintaining at mini
mum cost the channel of the Delaware
river
Work will soon be started in Wild
ening FIVE or the six most important
bends I'm the river and this is con-
ceded to be the beginning of practical
improvements for a 35-foot channel.
These bends will be widened to 1000
and / 200 feet and dredged to 35 feet.
The question uppermost among ship
ping men bears on the proper method
to follow, so as TO insure permanency
in depth without too great cost in
maintenance. II was said that mere
dredging will never secure for the
harbor a satisfactory 35-foot chan
mel.
At the Maritime Exchange it was
said that the history of the 30-foot
channel shows that even this depth
cannot be maintained in place solely
by dredging. The conviction reached
by shipping men and shared by Major
is essential before the Delaware river
channel can maintain a uniform depth
of 30 feet At Duck Creek Flats.
which was dredged to 30 feet, mean
low water. the latest survey Of the
engineer shows depth of less than
26 feet. shipping men say. The shoal
there is more than five miles in
length, they said.
The Maritime Exchange has recon-
mended the construction of bulkhead
or jetty from the lower side of Timber
Creek to Eagle Point, which would
materially help conditions in the
Horseshoe during the ice season, as
an aid TO maintenance. The dixie at
Miffiin bar should be extended, the Ex-
change says. TO Tinicum Island. and
be carried above the high water mark
A dixie is also advocated at Alloways
Creek to Eagle Point, which would
of the new island at Baker and Stony
Point Shoals.
And extension of the Reedy Island
and Listar's Point dixie is suggested.
as well as the construction of a dixie
OF bulkhead at Duck Greek Flats from
ListaT's Point dixie parallel with the
channel down to deep water in Della
ware Bay. This, is was pointed out.
would be of great assistance In main
tanning channel depths over these
flats
Efforts Will shortly be made by ship
ping men to hold a conference with
Major Deakyne, so that before Con-
gress appropriates additional sums for
the 35-foot project a definite plan may
be approved for the construction Of
dikes or jetties that will insure per-
manency to the deeper channel project
at a minimum cost of maintenance.
