WASHINGTON. Jan. 30:-Appro-
priations for lighthouses for aids to
navigations on Raritan river, Arthur
Kill and Raritan bay will probably
be passed by congress this session,
according to Congressman Z. Frank
Appleby.
1t is probable that President
Harding and Budget Director Dawes
will recommend adequate a%ppropri-
ations for the establishment of sufii-
cient lights in these waters, it is be-
lieved by Mr.. Appleby.
For several months Congressman
Appleby has been comforting with
Mr.. Dawes in regard to the recon
mendation of this appropriation. 1t
was originally in the budget for
sos, 000, which would provide for
the lights in the north Jersey waters,
but for the easo that he did not
think these lights necessary, Mr..
Dawes ordered the recommendation
to be withdrawn.
Il Immediately communicated
| with Commandment Reynolds, COM
mander Of the coast guard" said
Mr.. Appleby today, land had him
advise Mr.. Dawes of the necessity
| of the lights in Raritan bay, Itaritan
river and Arthur Kill.
tLollt1lHl0SlblIt VI I1S
| Putnam has also called upon Mr..
| Dawes and informed of the necessi-
ties of putting these lights there.
! For many years transportation has
been congested and shipping has
been tied up because it was impos-
siblc to navigate in these waters at
| night. If lighthouses were placed at
various intervals to guide the YES
sells. the shipping from the manu-
featuring cities in Passaic, Newark
and other places in the vicinity
would be able to be moved with
| little or no difficulty.
/ After considering the facts pre-
scented by Mr.. Putnam and Com
mandant Reynolds, Mr.. Dawes
| agreed to recommend hat light
| houses be established on Raritan
| rive" ard Raritan bay, but he did not
favor them in Arthur Xii.
at was necessary, however, that
| these lighthouses should be placed
in places where they would illum-
mate the navigable waters in that
section, and / told Mr.. Dawes that |
was not satisfied with his recon-
mendation.
"And now, after much conterrlnS
and present ng much evidence MI
Dawes has finally decided to q
| menu llldl at'li opi oFV''S
cover the expense of establishing
lighthc uses in the Raritan River,
Raritan bay and Arthur KILL
