MANY ADVOCATE
NJ. SHIP CANAL
BILL PASSAGE
Senators Urged by Waterway
Enthusiasts to Vote Fav-
orably ON Bill
VICTORY Is PREDICTED
Senator Larson Optimistic
Over Chances of Hoffman's
Bill in Upper House
VICTORY is PREDICTED

The passage of Assemblyman
Hoffman's ship canal bill has had
the effect of encouraging advocates
Of deeper waterways and inland
canals to renewed action in their eff
forts to have this bill become a law.
Strenuous efforts are now being
made to bring before the members
Of the senate the importance c6 the
proposed ship canal from Morgan to
Bordentown and thus win their sup
port to the bill which will now be
fostered by Senator Larson in. the
upper house.
There was considerable surprise
expressed by many who favored the
ship canal project but were not over
optimistic over the possibility of GO
ing ahead with the plan when the
bill was | used in the assembly this
week. Its passage in the lower house
has resulted in these persons taking
renewed hope and there is now every
reason to believe that the bill will bG
come a law.
Senator Larson. who has long been
an advocate of the ship canal propo-
sition, has declared in an interview
that he can see no reason why other
members of the upper house should
oppose the passage of this bill which
will give to the State Board of Com
merce and Navigation at least $725,-
coo of the $S75,000 secured by the
state from the Morris canal abandon
ment this money to be used in pur-
chasing rights of way for the canal.
Although a sea-level ship canal
has been advocated for many years
and bills of various kinds favoring
the establishment of such a water
way have been introduced in various
legislatures, this is the first time that
any amount of progress has been
made.
The government is waiting upon
the state to procure the rights of way
before 1t acts in the matter of con-
structing the canal. If Assemblyman
Hotrman's bill is successful in the
senate the state will be able to ac-
qulre the necessary land and the
fight for the canal can then be car
ried to Washington where Congress-
man Elmer H. Geran has promised
to work increasingly in order to have
the canal built by the federal govern
ment at an early date.
The arguments in favor of the
canal have been brought out con-
stantly by waterway speakers on va
rlous occasions, the residents of
Perth Amboy and vicinity having an
excellent opportunity to secure a
great amount of knowledge about the
waterway situation along the Allan
tic coast at the booster meeting held
In the local high school about two
weeks ago.
The canal will not only be a bene-
mt to Perth Amboy. which win be
practically at the mouth of the canal.
but to other places in this immediate
vicinity and along the route of the
waterway. A waterway mass meet
Ing is now being planned by Mayor
Smith, of Keyport, to be held in that
borough in the near future.
With the ship canal completed it
will be possible to go by means of
inland waterways from the New
England states to the southern states
this meaning quicker service, less
danger and less cost for ships, crews
and insurance, advocates of the
canal have pointed out.
