c, ( D, CANAL IS
NOW 10 FEET DEEP
Continuation of Improvement to
be Considered at Atlantic
Waterways Convention.

The gratifying information has been
placed in the hands of shippers that the
chesapeake and Delaware Canal is now
10 feet deep throughout its entire length.
The deepening of the old waterway
has been brought about largely through
the efforts and energy of the United States
engineers in charge of the improvements
TO the canal. Colonel Jcrvey, originally IN
charge, has been retired from the Federal
engineers service at his own request 10
accept the position Of city manager oil
Portsmouth. Va. His new connection
will bring no abatement in his interest In
the projected deepening and widening
of the canal, as he informed Gen. felix
Apnus of Baltimore during last week
Knowing the important part played by
General Agnus in the acquisition of the
canal by the federal government and Its
development into ship canal to connect
the chesapeake and Delaware bays,
Colonel Jervey called to tell I the progress
to date and of plans for hefuture. Colonel
Jeryey gave assurances Of the continued
progress of the plans for ship canal,
irrespective of his severing Of his connee-
ton with the work, which he said would
be carried on by his successor.
Colonel Johnston is now IN charge oi
the canal work.
Additional information has been re-
ceived that the locks in the old canal Will
be eliminated. thus reducing the time OF
passage through the canal. The oppor-
tunity is thus enlarged for an increase N
the barge traffic between the north ano
south.

industry to unprecedented dimensions
and then contracting IL again with amazing
speed.
