CONFER AT WASHINGTON
ON JERSEY SHIP CANAL
Depth Only Difference Between
U. S. and State Commission.
IFrom Stan CorrespOndent.l

AOAsh ~ 1AAAA OVhAEbFOAhEAAsl
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 14.-After a
conference of the New Jersey Ship
Canal Commission here three mem
bers of the board left for Washing
ton to. confer with Major General
William sEil1by, of the United States
Engineering Corps. relative to the
depth of the proposed waterway
across New Jersey from the Raritan
bay to the Delaware river near Bor-
dentown.
AT a conference between Mayor
Donnelly, of this city, who is presi-
dent of the commission, In Washing
ton last week General Bixby sub
mitted a tentative plan calling. for a
canal twelve feet deep and $50 feet
wide. The depth of the canal. as pro-
posed, is not satisfactory to the New
Jersey Commission, which is of the
opinion that the waterway should be
at least twenty-five feet deep. A
twelve-foot canal would be for barge
traffic almost exclusively, but a
twenty-flve-foot depth would be in
reality a ship canal.
General Bixby approved the pro-
posed right of way and all other
plans, so the only difference Of
opinion that exists between him and
the commission is the depth. The
committee which has gone to WASH
ington is made UP Of Charles F. Nc
Cormick, New Brunswick; Walter
Wood, Camden Worthington Ja-
cobus, Rutherford, and F. r. Grif-
fifth. the commissions engineer, OF
