opinion that when the American

that only about ten per cent. of the
entire amount of dirt which Is to be
removed has been dug away.
Point where the cut is being made
is one of the highest along the canal.
Colonel r. n. Johnston, predecessor
of Colonel Earl /. Brown. as United
States Engineer for the Wilmington
District, under whose administra-
tion the contract for the excavation
was awarded. described the section
as the backbone of the canal"
II has been estimated that total
OF 100000 cubic yards OF earth
will have 10 be removed along the
entire canal to give it a depth of
from 20 to % feet and a width of
1875 feet. Such a width and depth
will make IL ship canal in the full
sense of the word. Ultimately it is
planned by the War Department to
dredge the canal sufficient TO enable
a fleet of warships to pass between
the Chesapeake and Delaware bays
without difficulty.
Change in the width of the canal
will require the rebuilding OF six
bridges at an estimated cost of ST.
900. 900.
1t is expected that bridges will be
built to replace the present draw
bridge over the canal at Delaware
City, and over the new mouth of the
canal on the Port Penn road; st.
Georges. to the west of the present
drawbridge at that place; at Sum-
NIT Bridge; at the Pivot Bridge on
the line between Delaware and
Maryland. and at Chesapeake City
Md, over the Back creek. One big
bridge is planned for Chesapeake
City, Nd, to replace two bridges at
that place now and the new bridge
will also eliminate a number of bad
curves in the road.
A new bridge will also be buili
to replace the present railroad
bridge Of the Delaware Railroad a.
Canal. The cost Of building this
structure will fall upon the railroad
company.
Foundations for these new bridges
will be constructed to coincide will
the plans for complete development
of the waterway. Thus they vii
have a mean elevation of 40 feet be
low sea level. to allow for deepen
ing the canal to 25 feet for ordinar,
sea-going ships and 80 feet for bat
tie fleets.
