TO DRAIN ZUIDER ZEE.
Holland Undertakes Project Which
Will Cost $50 .ooo. 900.

Washington. Sept 23.-Undertakins
q project which will cost about $s9.-
$4,000 and will add 523.440 acres OF
tillable soil to the area Of Holland and
which will require 33 years for COM
pletion, the Dutch government has
begun preliminary work Of draining the
Zuider Tee. A commission has been
named to take the necessary steps for
the commencement Of construction
work, under authorization Of an act
passed by both houses Of the Dutch
legislature. which received the royal
Signature June IA. 1918. according to 4
report from Commercial Attache Pau!
L. Edwards, at the hague.
The work Of turning the bottom OF
the Zuider Zee into fields and gardens
is divided into two distinct phases:
First. the building Of great 1S-nhlc
dixie from the Island Of Wierigen to a
point near the town Of Priam on the
coast Of the province Of Friesland;
and, second the construction Of fou:
dikes within the sea and the draining
and retaining Of the land in back OF
these barriers.
The average depth of water which
the great dixie will encounter is about
1913 feet below mean average sea level.
The height Of the dixie Itself above
sea level will run from 1873 to 17.6
feet
The body Of the main dixie will con-
eist Of sand on a body Of brush and
stone. with a surface covering Of clay,
and the outside lateral surface will be
faced with basalt riprap. A double
track railroad will rim along the dixie
on the inside. This clay for the sur
fact will be dredged from the bottom Of
the Zuider Zee and also will be trans
ported from the island Of Wieringen as
waste material Of canal that will be
under construction there's The total
volume Of the dixie is estimated to be
about 1928 coo cubic yards. The es-
timatod cost Of the dixie proper Is about
{11.256,to1
Altho the completion of the entire
project will require s3 years, $4,000
acres comprising the first section OF
reclaimed land will be available for
cultivation within fifteen years. Elk
perts assure the Hollanders that the
soil will be fertile, as. after the great
dixie has cut of the sea. the Zuider Zee
gradually will turn fresh. owing to
the continual emptying into 1t Of fresh
water streams.
Several important fishing villages.
such as vollendam and Marken will be
no longer touched by water. so the gov
eminent has promised the special laws
shall be passed providing for adequate
Intermittent ton of the fishermen and
providing funds for the removal OF re-
establishment of their industry on the
North Sea.
Tie government expects to receive
about SIS per acre per year dS Tent2!
