just about level with normal high tide.
You see the purpose of this don't
you? These jetties would catch and
arrest the drifting md carried by the
current and gradually build up and ex-
tend out the beach on the south side OF
each OF thete projections. while the
securing action would be held just 80
much further away from the shore prop
erty. which would have bulkheads to
shield them from the worst OF stormy
seas--bulkheads that would not be un-
dermined and weakened by the insldious
action of the normal waters.
Again, these jettles are expensive.
and to be effective must he spaced ut
carefully determined intervals. and here
once more we meet the obstacle pre-
scented by private ownership or the
fairly restricted treasures OF the vari-
Gus municipalities concerned. or course,
II the State took this matter over then
the problem of funds would not be so
great: but without some well matured
and properly supported plan to work
upon these New Jersey resorts may
be gravely hampered In the future, ana
we know what this would mean TO New
Workers. and to the great crowds that
come to our shores.
"our physical situation here Is
peculiar one. and the forces that buiit
this peninsula might, in time, sweep
IL away. once upon a time the north
and south branches Of the Shrewsbury
River were Independent water courses
and flowed directly to the sea instead
OF uniting and travelling northward
| to Join the Navesink River and thence
on and outward inside OF Sandy HOOK.
That meant that the channel now back
of Seabright was probably part OF
the mainland. and this whole peninsula
slid seward because OF the undermine
ing action Of the northbound current
which survives to-day.
| Indeed. a little to the south Of us I
have uncovered, in boring. pine forests
with the tops Of the trees now fourteen
feet below low tide level, and the tim
Der as sound as wood cut to-day. On
top OF this has been laid the sand which

much as jetties would do II We ran
them out from our shore to-day.
| Personally. think this whole ques-

but rather the continual cutting action
OF the current that sweeps northward
along the shore, eating into one mans
property here and building upon an
others there. This attack IL not d.
rectly inland. but a glancing movement
tending to undermine bulkheads and to
expose them to the more direct assaults
of stormy seas. The fact Is bulkheads
alone are but a partial defence for the
shore.
"If the only destructive action was
that OF the heavy waves hitting the
bulkheads squarely we should have less
reason for anxiety. Any we'll built
bulkhead in sound condition and backed
by plenty of sand, especially II that
sand be capped with grass or vegeta-
ton, will stand up under n murderous
pounding from the sea. But the trouble
IL that the lesser storms and the steady
northward drift of the shore current
expose the lower part OF the piling and
give them a less secure grip in the
sand
when they begin to rock then 1t is
time to make prompt repairs. for other
wise their anchorage will become less
secure and their dislodgment more GER
tain when heavy weather sends the big
seas tumbling shoreward. Besides that.

defensive unit In keeping out the sea,
but all of them are not equally pre-
pared to meet this tax. Therefore the
failure OF one mans bulkhcad, like the
weak link in an otherwise strong chain,
imperlls adjacent property even though
his neighbors have spent generously In
guarding their own shore fronts.
You have seen just exactly what
happens when the bulkhead is battered
down by the sea; the shore liz under
mined and houses left to slide into the
excavation and TO collapse. AS Mayor
Elliott says. this must be remedied, and
the question Is how can 1t be done with
the least tax upon the property holders.
Possibly, as he says, we may reach this
end by having the beach rights surren-
dered to the municipalities along the
coast. for moderate compensation. or
have the State do this instead. Then.
We can go ahead and adopt a uniform
system OF coastal protection.
How do I think we can best meas
ure forces with the sea? Well, there
are two ways in which that can be done,
Inasmuch "a the action most to be or
set is that of the northbound securing
current, which prevails at all times and
affects the whole coast, the most effective
way to check this ero5lve action is to
build up a system Of jetties extending
seward at right angles to the shore and

This additional penetration gives me
a steadier and more enduring obstruc-

last from fifteen to eighteen years
against the worst Of our storm seas.
Personally. I am a Arm believer in the
superiority OF sheet piling made of re-
enforced concrete. but the objection In
the original expense, and this brings us
right to the very heart Of this problem
Of shore protection.
THE beach Is commonly controlled by
private owners. and each possessor Is
regulated by the length Of his purse in
this matter OF bulkhead building. For
the best results, they should act as a

was also fitted with powerful magnet,
and this force held the rods upright and
still until affected by the perturbations
produced in the water by the approach
and passage OF the fifteen foot model
In a small punt, anchored about sew
enty-five feet in front OF the mirror. was
installed n moving picture machine, and
as the miniature liner advanced and
swept by the little rods this apparatus
took series of motion photographs.
The swinging and circling OF the steel
tips, when enlarged made 1t plain to the
experts Just how far the disturbances
extended laterally from the liner in mo-
ton at each of the trial speeds, and incl
dentally approximately the measure OF
the agitating forces aroused. The films
when developed were then reproduced
upon an enlarged scale and in such a
manner that their stories could be ana
lyzed and the data thus obtained plotted
for further study and use.
In order to show simultaneously the
relative position OF the towing carriage
and the nearness Of the model to the
steel rods, there was placed on the
front Of the carriage a large dial with
a moving hand. The intervals on this
dial gave n visual indication OF the
point in the make believe OF the North
River at which the picture was taken.
