SEES RAR|TAN
RIVER LINED
WITH WHARVES
Local Men Survey Raritan
River---Will Make Move
to Congress

Docks and wharves extending along
both sides of the Raritan river all
the way to Sayreville is the vision Of
Lewis Nixon, who acted as host to a
number of city officials and repre-
sentatives of the Board of Trade on
brief cruise on the Raritan river
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Nixon is
anxious to interest the government in
deepening the channel in the river at
least as far as Sayreville and it was
with the idea of working with the
Board of Trade and the city of Perth
Amboy that the trip was arranged.
In the party from this city were
Mayor Dorsey and Aldermen Wilson
and Clark, l. T. Madsen, Fred G.
Hilton and ]. Logan Clevenger, of the
Board of Trade. Going by automo-
bile to Nixon's plant located on the
Raritan river Immediately west OF
Raritan arsenal at Bonhamtown, the
party boarded a power launch and
proceeded down the river as far as
Keasbey. Mr.. Nixon was accompanied
by his son, who is connected with the
plant, and several Of the officials.
Tn, wonderful development of the
government plant known as, Raritan
arsenal created no little interest as
1t was seen from the river and the
enormous dock which has been con-
structed along the river connected
with the plant further inland by a
railroad and concrete automobile
road Indicated plainly the perna
nency of the development.
The magnificent expanse OF water
as the river broadened out as Keas-
bey was reached was commented up
on and 1t was not hard to visualize
the future that is in store for that
section. At present between the gov
ernment plant and KeaSbey there are
several miles of vacant meadow land,
but after seeing what the government
has done to exactly the same kind
of land the feasibility of enormous
terminals with vast shipping was ap-
parent.
At the present time there is twelve
to fourteen feet of water up the river
as far as Sayreville, varying in diff
ferent sections The desire is to make
It possible for large ships to reach
the wharves so that foreign COM
merce will not require lightering. The
fact that the channel is already fairly
deep makes it a comparatively simple
proposition to dredge out the chan
mel to twenty or thirty feet, throwing
the material taken from the channel
back on the meadows to fill.
Mr.. Nixon contemplates establish
ing a great storage plant on his prop
erty His idea is that materials not
needed for Immediate use will find a
convenient storage place there and
