KENT ISLAND CANAL PLANS
HAVE NOT BEEN ABANDONED
FURTHER STUDY TO BE MADE
OF CONDITIONS OF PROJECT
Report Expected Shortly by En-
gineers After Tides and Currents
on Kent Island Are Studied

The canal through Kent Island
which has been under consideration
of the Clairborne-Annapolis Ferry
Company for some time, is still un-
der advisement. It was reported
in Queen Anne newspaper last
week that the commission having
the matter in charge was to report
adversely on the project. Infor-
nation received advisably is that
this is untrue. There have been
difficulties encountered by the en-
gineers and the advisors of the
project which will require much
stury and it is this that has caus-
ed the delay. There will not be
any adverse report about building
the canal at this time, but it may
be found advisable to delay the
project until more ample opportun
ity has been given to study the
tides, currents, wash of shore on
the bad side of Kent Island and
problems of this kind, which can
only be determined after prolonged
study. This study is being given
now. It is not reasonable TO ex-
pect start on the canal this year
But under no circumstances has
the Ferry Company any idea Of ul-
timately abandonirs the project
Much money has been spent
in acquiring land, and $4,000 for
the preliminary work and surveys
has been provided. A report is ex-
pected shortly. but it will not be
one that will recommend that the
plan be abandoned.

SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
URGES DUTY ON TOMATOES
500 DUTY ON CANNED TONA-
TOES AND ON TOMATO PASTE
Senators Hastings and Townsend
and Representative Houston have
Left Nothing UndOne to Aid

Senator John G. Townsend, Jr.,
of Delaware, filed an additional
brief with the Senate finance COM
mittee, urging that a duty of go
per cent on canned tomatoes and
tomato products be provided in the
Hawley tariff bill, on which hear
ings are now being held. The brief
sets out that the tremendous in
crease in consumption of raw veg
etables, especially of tomatoes,
during the past few years, might
be cited as a cause of the enforced
decrease in the output of our do
mestic canned tomatoes and can
ned tomato paste, were it not for
the fact that imports have so heav-
lily increased during the same per-
iod." If the increased use of raw
tomatoes were the contributory
cause of decreased domestic can
ned tomatoes" the brief pointed
out, why should it not have like
effect on imports of canned toma-
toes ?" The committee was asked
to fix duty of go per cent on can
ned tomatoes and tomato paste
and other tomato products. The
same duty on canned tomatoes and
all other tomato products is neces-
sary because canned tomato prod
ucts are largely interchangeable in
use, and a differential in duties
would only serve to increase the
imports of the group on which the
lower rate is placed" the brief
stated. The tomato industry in
formed the committee of the en-
ormous increase in imports under
the 1922 tariff act, which show
that the average importations
amount to 6,739 ,569 pounds per
year, 1928 being the smallest year
and 1925 the largest year for i'm
ports. The year 1923 showed an
increase Of over 1928 of 149 per
cent. The imports of canned to-
for the first four months OF
1929 show an increase of % per
cent over the corresponding period
Of last year the committee was in
formed. Domestic production of
canned tomatoes decreased from
16, 1863, ,238 cases in 1928 to $685.
582 cases in 1923. At the same
time imports increased from 40,-
936,75 pounds in 1923 to 1O2, ,544,- :
900 pounds in 1928. Nothing has
been left undone by Senators Hast
ings and Townsend and Represen-
tative Houston, to convince mem
bers of the Congress of the plight
of the American tomato packer
Senator Hastings and Senator
Townsend have been leaders on the
Senate side of the Capital in bring
ing together Senators from the
principal tomato producing states
to fight for adequate protection of
the American packer.

DEL-MAR-VA TOURISTS GAIN
Forty-Eight Hour Check-Up on
Boulevard, Shows 2511 Cars

The fourth annual census of for
eign tourist traffic throughout the
Del-MarVa Peninsula taken by the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation has been completed, with a
check maintained over a forty
eight hour period. This year the
record shows tourist traffic TO have
increased materially over any of
the last three years. At a main
point midway down the Peninsula
where only south bound traffic in
foreign licenses We're recorded 2511
cars, representing twenty-nine
states in the Union were checked.
At other points where semi-official
checks were maintained the aver
age of 1000 foreign licensed cars
or better during each twenty-four
hour period from Friday evening
until Sunday evening were also Sc
cured. From the records kept at
Association headquarters, the in
crease this year in tourist traffic
over 1926 is approximately $50 per
cent and more than 100 per cent
increase over 1927 Compared with
the 1928 "a per cent increase is
shown. The State of Pennsylvania
led the visitors by considerable
figure. The total number of Penn
sylvania cars on record equal near
ly half of all foreign licensed cars
coming into Del-Mar-Va. There
were 17O8 bearing Pennsylvania
tags in the association check-up.
New Jersey was next in line with
359 khile New York, Ohio and the
New England States provided the
larger portion of the remainder.
Among other states represented
were Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Massachusetts, Florida Kentucky,
North Carolina, Connecticut, Ten
nessee, Alabama. Indiana. Michi-
gan, California, Missouri, Georgia,
North Dakota, Vermont, Minneso-
ia, District of Columbia and the
Province of Quebec, Canada. Sub
stantiating the association S report
is the periodical check maintained
throughout the Virginia counties
as well as at points in the upper
Eastern Shore of Maryland, which
give indications that the Peninsula
is at this season of the year being
visited by an average Of more than
1000 foreign licensed cars during
each 24-hour period. II the last
report from the Eastern Shore of
Virginia Chamber of Commerce,
where a check was kept at five
prominent points, records show
that 1156 foreign licensed cars
were recorded with a 12-hour per
iod. This was 81 per cent in
crease over the same date last
month and semi-official checks in
other sections may be authentical-
ly accepted as an Indication of the
tremendous increase in tourist
traffic in all sections of the Pen
insula.

PROHIBITION OFFICE MOVED
Headquarters Changed from Will
mingtOn to Dover Last Saturday


Headquarters for prohibition en-
forcement in Delaware were re-
moved at noon Saturday from Will
mington to Dover. George A. Hill
prohibition director for Delaware
received orders to vacate his pres
ent headquarters and move all his
records to the second floor of the
Dover postoffice building last week
The Dover postoffice has been re
modelled to accommodate the pro-
hibition enforcement bureau and
building, leading to the second
floor has been constructed. Orders
received by Mr.. Hill from the Bal
timore headquarters of the Mary
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Column
bia prohibition enforcement area,
direct him to have his Office in Do
yer in operation on July 1. Trans
fer Of Delaware prohibition activ-
tiles from Wilmington TO Dover
is being done to promote effic-
iency and economy, it is stated.
Prohibition officials believe that
centering the states Federal dry
activities in Dover will save much
time on the part of agents and Mr..
Hill and will save travelling expens-
es for the government. The activ-
tiles of Mr.. Hills Office are being
broadened to include prohibition
enforcement not only in Delaware
but in at least nine counties on the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland. Since
Mr.. Hill and his agents will now
devote more time to enforcement
en- the Eastern Shore, the Dover
headquarters will be more central
ly located than the Wilmington Of
flee would be. When Delaware
agents make arrests on the East
ern Shore they must appear as wit
nesses in the Maryland Federal
courts. 1t is believed that follow
ing the removal of the Office from
Wilmington Mr.. Hill may be sup
piled with several additional
agents, probably from The Balti-
more Office to aid in the drying
up" campaign on the Eastern
Shore. Large quantities of con-
fiscated liquor and liquor-making
equipment now in the seizure vault
in the old Post Office Building, in
Wilmington, where Mr.. Hills office
has been located, are being remov-
ed to the new seizure vault in the
basement of the Dover post Office
The prohibition Office has been 10.
Gated in Wilmington since the ad.
vent of prohibition. Prohibition di.
rectors preceding Mr.. Hill were

fact that the Office leaves Viii
