COST
OF BARGE CANAL

It has been learned from an official
source that Secretary of War Stim-
son has directed the special Board of
Engineers who recently reported on
the ship canal connecting the Della
ware and Chesapeake Bays, to also
prepare at once an approximate cost
of a series of inland waterways along
the same route, smaller than the shin
canal proposition.
Secretary Stimson's present order
calls for a series Of canals twelve
feet in depth with a width on the
bottom of ninety feet. This, In effect
would be system Of barge canals to
protect coal carriers from the dam
gers of the sea. The latest order is
not a substitute for the original plan,
but merely part of this great inland
waterway improvement
Under the orders, Major Raymond,
of this district, has placed his entire
corps of engineers at work confirm
ing the surveys. Their work will
probably be completed some time
this week. Three propositions are
being worked out by Majo~ Raymond.
The system of barge canals as pro-
posed, is to follow the same route
as decided upon by the special board
for the ship canal matter. A great
saving would be made with the es-
tablishment Of a barge canal through
New Jersey. This waterway, follow
ing the route just recommended,
would run from Chesapeake Creek,
Raritan Bay, directly across the
State to Bordentown, where the canal
enters the Delaware river This will
enable shipments to be made from
New York to Norfolk and intermedi-
ate points through an entirely inland
waterway and in considerably quick
er time than at present.
