Chinese NOW PLAN.
DRAINAGE PROJECT
Scheme To Improve Grand Canal
In Shantung and Kiangsi
Provinces
(By Associated Press.)

PEKING. -. William F. Carey Of
st. Paul, Minnesota, an American con-
tractor who is considering the improve
ment of the Grand Canal in Shantung
and Kiangsi provinces, has returned
from a tour of inspection and has an
nounced that the plan presents no great
engineering difficulties.
The I4an involves the reclamation of
many hundreds Of thouSn nd acres OF
land which now lie in lake-heds or dis
tIiets subject to the overflow of the
yellow River and other streams in the
canal basin, some of which have no out
let to the sea. In food times the wat
ers of many of these streams pass into
the canal, which was built through dis.
tncts where formerly lakes afforded
reservoirs for the flood waters. or re.
cent years the canal has been greatly
neglected. In places now the water Is
not more than six inches deep in dry
times and the banks have been badly
damaged by high water. Consequently
the government is unable to derive the
tolls which it should have from such
al important waterway. Furthermore
much of the territory adjoining the
canal has fallen into neglect, and the
neighboring population suffers much
from food and famine. .>lrggs a
Plans have been under consideration
for many, years for the reclamation OF
| the great area tributary TO the portion
Of the Grand Canal " hich lies between
the Yellow River in Shantung province
and the YAng-ts river in kiangsi pro
vince. II has been estimated that the
cost of restoring the canal and dikine
the streams in such q manner that
food water could be carried 20 the
sea, or allowed to pass off through
the canal, would be thirty million dol
lars gold. The expense of this i'm
| prOvemPnt would, in the opinion of ex
| perts, be more than met by the value
Of the government land actually re-
claimed. Furthermore the increased
value of the private lands subject Il
food would be very great and an i'm
provement tax could be justly levied
on these. With the waterway in per
feet repairs, the tolls would be very
large throughout the year.
| While the sale of reclaimed land, the
1 possible improvement taxes and the
| increased tolls would pay for the i'm
| provement within very few years, the
difficulty has been in raising the money
| for the initial cost of the work. c. ID
Jameson, the engineer representing thu
American Red Cross, II. Vanderveeu
consulting engineer of the Chinese Ma
tional Conservancy Bureau, and mum
Der of other engineers have investi
gated the project, and reported favor
ably upon it.
