BILL
BY APPLEbY
Provides for Federal Aid in
Construction of Sea- Walls
Along Jersey Coast

A bill providing federal aid in the
construction of seawalls, bulkheads,
%jetties and other approved devices
necessary and proper to protect the
inland waterways. navigable rivers
and waterways of the coast of the
State of New Jersey from Sandy
Hook to Cape May from destruction
by encroachment of the Atlantic
Ocean, was introduced yesterday by
Congressman Appleby. For twenty
five years a resident of Arbury Park,
Mr.. Appleby has personally observ-
ed the change in the pas line from
Sandy Hook to Cape May, and has
an intimate knowledge of the fact
that in many of the seashore munich
palities of New Jersey where large
hotels and other property formerly
stood, the Atlantic Ocean now beats
upon a coas line far in the interior.
Mr.. Appleby believes that the gov
eminent should aid in the work OF
protecting the coast line in order
that the harbors and channels dredg-
ed and maintained by the United
States government should not be
further ~encroached upon to the SER
ious and permanent detriment and
possible destruction of the same as
n~avigable waterways.
Mr.. Appleby, in commenting or
his bill, stated that the proposed leg
islation is supplementary to legisia'
ton of like character recently enact
ed by the New Jersey ~legislature'
and is, in a measure. similar to leg
islation enacted by former congresses
to protect the Mississippi river and
the Bulk of Mexico. The principal
difference being that in the bills TO
protect the Mississippi river and the
Gulf of Mexico the government paid
the entire cost, while in this bill II
is provided that the federal govern
ment shall expend only an amount
equal to the amount appropriated by
the state, county. township or mu-
nicipality for a specific improvement.
Mr.. Appleby further stated that
the gradual encroachment of the
surf along the Atlantic coast has
destroyed property of immense val
ue. has caused buildings of all classes
to be removed. closed many high
ways, has cut new channels where
the land between the ocean bays Is
narrow, and millions could have
been saved had there been organized
work in the last fifty years by the
state and national governments.
