PROJECT INTEREST

Announcement that a appropriation

largemsnt work Of The Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal has resulted in arousing
much interest through the canal zone.
The residents Of Delaware City apd at
other points along the canal had for
sometime given up hopes Of any ex-
tsnsive work being started soon, but
the request BY the chief Of engineers
for the large sums Of money has dis
pelled the doubtssof those who feared
that there would be . lengthy delay be-
fore the actual dredging work on the
canal started.
When the appropriation is made by
Congress, it will mean that many peo-
pie living along the canal will be given
plenty Of work in the spring. There
have been q number Of people who have
lived along the waterway for years.
who have delayed moving in the hopes
that the canal would eventually be en-
larged.
The first step in the canal enlarge
ment will be on the upper level. be-
tween st. Georges and Chesapeake
City, Md. This work will consist Of
the dredging Of the canal between the
two places, 80 that there will be the
one level along the entire length of the
canal. It is then proposed to remove
the locks at st. Georges, following
which the entire canal will be deepened
to depth of IL feet at low water. at
which time both locks at Delaware City
and Chesapeake City. Md, will be re-
moved. The entire development work
is expected to take a number of years.
Practically all the preliminary work
along the canal has been completed.
Machinery Of all types, as well as dump
cars and steam shovel have been at
Delaware City for some time, in antici-
patton of the actual starting Of work
on the canal.
