CITY BRIEFS

Work on the installation of the
fixtures in the new City Bank build

the delay caused by the recent rains.

expected that the bank will open its
doors to the public by September 1.
The dampness prevented any painting
being done on the interior decorations
for many days, and that work in turn
held up other trades.

'SHOWS VALUE
Of SHIP CANAL
Mayor Cites Improvements at
New Orleans Which Is Now
Building Waterway

AS an illustration Of the results that
Coastal ship canal and the work that
must be done to complete it, Mayor
Frank Dorsey, chairman of the MEM
bership committee Of the associa-
ton, has called attention to the i'm
provements that the city of New Or
leans is now making, the most notable
of which is a 80 foot ship canal.
The crescent city, situated at the
mouth of the Mississippi has become
convinced of the need for an inland
canal for her great manufactures and
after many years of careful planning
a started a work that will require
the expenditure of over 81, 700, 900.
when we come to consider the
canal which New Orleans is : now
working on and the proposed canal
across our own Garden State /
think that a comparison will show
that this state will benefit even more
from the proposed canal than New
Orleans will benefit from her canal,
important and expensive as 1t is" the
mayor said. 1T must be remember
ed that the New Orleans canal is
built only for the accommodation OF
DOdIS COlllDS ulIcClly " ACl POA~
The canal hat Is to have its northern
outlet near Morgan will do more thar
that. 1t will bring this port into
touch with ships carrying commerce
ALL the way from the far south TO the
Great Lakes and Boston,"
The increased use of canals and
inland waterways to tighten the ma
tons ever increasing transportation
burden Is bound to come sooner or
fafar aaanrdipo IN tho nradipti0n of Il
Spencer Smith of the State Board OF
Commerce and Navigation" the May
or added, land Mr.. Smith does not
stand alone in his prediction. 1t Is
obviously one of the best solutions or
our railroad problem.
ut should not be necessary for any
one to Lead us in this important mat
ter. We should be the first to get
behind such a project and the last to
desert it. And from my experience
with various public movements there
Is no way better to assure them sue
cess than through open public assc-
Citations. The new New Jersey Intra-
Coastal Ship Canal Association needs
memberships among individuals, cor
porations and municipalities to COM
plete its work"
AS an indication Of the type of work
being done on the canal at New Or
leans, 1t may be said that George w.
Goethals and Company, the head of
which firm is General Goethals, who
built the Panama canal, M George
M. Wells, who assisted at the Panama
project, are in charge Of the construc-
ton. It is expected that h nine
miles of ditch about $50 feet In
width, will have been dug and lined
with concrete within one year.
The canal route runs somewhat
back of the city and connects the
Mississippi with Lake Pontchartrain:
Factory sites and shipping houses Will
be located along the entire length OF
the waterway: Lift bridges will span
the aqueduct at the various road
crossings.
