up a land suction machine. which
could be done without great ex-
'pense. It would be possible to make
use OF scrapers, using either horses
or a drag line working on a winch.
There are many ways in which
this work could be done independ-
emily OF a floating suction dredge,
and the cost need not be materially
greater than II a floating dredge
could be brought there without un-
due expense and without travelling
a great distance. IL appears that
some form OF drag-line scraper
would probably be the most econom-
ical. but this can be determined
after the exact location is selected
and decided upon by your committee
and after contractors have been con-
ferred with.
Conclusions.
1T is the first natural inclination
in considering a problem OF this
sort to endeavor TO follow the work
that nature has itself done. and It
was at first thought that It sent in
let. In view, however. OF the greater
expense that would have to be in
CURED in opening up the interior
channels to the present inlet, and in
view OF the formation and existence
OF the bars islands, marsh lands,
etc. Immediately inside OF the pres
ent inlet, IL appears that the cehap-
est and most practical way in which
to open up these bays to the waters
OF the ocean would be TO construct
an inlet at some point to the north
of the present inlet probably in the
vicinity OF and south OF the present
life saving station. No. 142. II is
probable that 1t will not be neces-
sary to open a wide and deep inlet
by dredging and excavaung-o
passage large enough for a free flow
OF water between the ocean and the
bay need be artifcially made-the
currents under the influence OF the
tidal fluctuations in the ocean will
soon scour out its own channel. once
the waters OF the bays and the ocean
are connected for the free flow OF
water.
1T rs very difficult to estimate the
cost OF this work, but I would rec
ommend II IL is decided to proceed
with the opening OF an inlet that
che sum OF $4,000 be appropriated
for this purpose; so much to be used
as is necessary for the work and
whatever remains TO be returned to
the State Treasury.
Respectfully submitted.

Engineer Points Way For
Indian RiUer Bay Inlet

imateiy the level OF the mean tide
in the ocean, and that a tidahvaria
ton IA the bays Will be above and
below the present level OF the wa
ters.
IAN inlet near The southerly end
OF Rehoboth Bay might tend to
work north. and after a period OF
years encroach upon and even de-
stroy the buildings OF the life-sav-
ing station, No. 142.
ITO insure an inlet OF navigable
depth and in a fixed position. il
would be essential to construct sub
stantial jetties at the expense OF a
considerable sum OF money - the
mere digging Of an inlet will not
achieve either the permanency Of
navigable depth or stability.
Method of Creating Inlet.
"As to the method of creating an
inlet. it seems that it might be diff
cult TO get a floating suction dredge
20 the easterly shore OF Rehoboth
Bay. on account OF the depth Of wa
ter in the bay and in the Rehoboih
canal ~ IL is not understood that
there is now a dredge either in Re-
hoboth Bay or the Indian River Bay.
IL is unlikely that a dredge suitable
for this work would draw less than
four feet OF water. and as Rehoboth
Buy is shoal in many spots, and as
the waters OF the bay are shallow
on the easterly side. 1t might be
necessary to do considerable
amount OF dredging before the
dredge could reach the location OF
the proposed inlet. or even before it
could pass through the canal. There
is a note on the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey map which
says: AT mean low water, the con-
trolling depth from Delaware Bay 10
Rehoboth Bay via Lewes creek and
the canal is ~ feet'-dater June 80.
1919.
1T is probable, therefore, that to
excavate the inlet II would be neces-
sary to make use OF some form OF
land machinery or device 1t would
be possible TO excavate by hand a
channel in the dry through the
beach leaving the breaking through
to the waters OF the ocean and the
bay until the land portion had been
excavated. II will be possible to rig

the passage Of water; but this situa-
sion would exist wherever the inlet
might be built without the addition
OF jetties; but it seems that an in
let constructed where there is free
access to the waters OF the bay
would reasonably maintain itself for
a number OF years.
III the inlet is TO be opened 10 the
north OF the present inlet, Il viii be
desirable at tho same time TO open
a better connection between the
waters OF the Indian River Bay and
Rehoboth Bay. As before stated, an
inlet near the southerly end Of Re-
hohoth Bay would have more effect
on the waters Of the Indian River
Bay than an inlet opened at the
northeriy end OF Rehoboth Bay. IN
order to get the best results from
the southerly Rehoboth Bay inlet.
channel should be opened between
the Indian River inlet and Rehoboth
. Rav TO the west OF Burton island.
The southerly Rehoboth Bay inlet
would also have less effect on the
current through the Rehoboth
canal than an inlet built at the
northerly end OF Rehoboth Bay.
Conditions That May BE Objec-
tionable.
"It must be borne in mind that
should an inlet be created providing
free entrance to the waters Of the
ocean. there will be an increase in
tic tidal fluctuations in the bay;
whereas there is now virtually six
inch variation. there might easily be
a. much as eighteen inches to two
feet. and even more. Under these
conditions. there viii De additional
s.inds flooded at high tide and addi-
tionnl mud flats exposed at low tide,
and tho existence OF such flats at
low water may at some fu-
tirc time be considered objection
ahle-this is a matter for the local
interests to take into consideration.
such a tidal variation in Rcho-
both Bay will also increase the We
locity OF the current through the
Rchoboth canal. but It is not be-
ncvcd that this velocity will be so
Increased as TO interfere with navi-
cation. Ii is apparent that the level

and herb remedies, so | got bottle
of Dreco which was causing SO much
favorable talk around here and it
benefited me from the start. got
the second bottle and today am feel
ing better than in many day.
my kidneys are well regulated,

stiffness has gone from my muscles
and joints and my entire system is
full of vitality. | sleep the night

everyone to know about it,"
Dreco is composed of the juices of
different roots, herbs, banks and
leaves, which act on the stomach,
kidneys, liver and bowels, purifying
the blood. 1t relieves constipation,
prevents gas from forming in the
stomach, increases the appetite, in
sures sound refreshing sleep, ban
