Some Peninsula Inland Water
ways to Receive Attention

The allotment of more than S4,-
100000 for waterway improvement
in New Jersey and contiguous
territory was announced last week
by the War Department. The larg-
est single allotment was for $3,-
$4,000 to improve the Delaware
River from Philadelphia to the
sea. This was a reduction from a
previous estimate that more than
50, 100000 would be expended
there during the next year begin
ming July 1. Wilmington Harbor,
Delaware, work gets $3.50, 900; in
land waterway from Delaware
River to Chesapeake Bay, Della
ware and Maryland, S562,00o;
Murderkill River, Delaware, S12,-
500; Mispillion River, Delaware,
S12,500; inland waterway, Chinco-
league Bay, Virginia to Delaware
Bay, Delaware, $500; waterway on
the coast of Virginia, $4,000; ex-
aminations, surveys and contin-
gencies (general) Wilmington Del
aware district, $3.50. Several re-
ductions in previously announced
estimates were made, due to the
fact that Congress appropriated
S39, 100000 for waterway improve
ment, whereas, the War Depart
ment had calculated $55,OO0,O00
could be proftably expended dur
ing the coming year. The sum of
S742,000 was allotted for deepen
ing Newark Bay, Hackensack and
Passaic Rivers. Under the origin
al estimates, this project was to
receive $855,0O0, leaving addition
al improvement for the fiscal year
1882. The sum of 100000 was
allotted for deepening the channel
from Trenton to Philadelphia to 20
feet. This project was authorized
two years ago, but no work was
done pending commencement of

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY
Eastern Shore Company Anonmc-
es the Introduction of New Rate

Eastern Shore Public Service
Company has filed with the Public
Service Commission of Maryland
and the State Corporation Com
mission of Virginia, an off peak
water heating rate (Schedule No.
12), which has been approved by
both Commissions, effective May
10th, 1880, and which applies to all
territories served by this Company
in Maryland, Delaware and Vir-
ginia. This new rate covers the
heating of water on off peak hours
at 1 1-2c per kilowat hour net.
The periods of charging time are
from 9 o'clock in the evening until
Z o'clock, or longer, the next
morning. Tests indicate that with
a proper size insulated tank, the
above charging time is sufficient
to supply the average household
with an abundance of hot water.
An automatic timer is furnished
by the Company, which controls
the starting and stopping of the
electric heater in the water tank.
Eastern Shore Public Service Com
pany has also filed with the above
Commissions and has received
heir approval for Schedule No. IS,
which cover a new low rate for
commercial cooking for institu-
tions having a connected capacity
of more than 10 kilowatts hours.

covering the off peak water heat
ing by gas, which is applicable
only to Cambridge, Maryland.

Modern Camps in Forests.

depths of the forests, where animals stealthily
stalk their came, and yet have one foot firmly
planted In civilization, through the development
of camp facilities In the national forests
Because Of the thousands Of visitors who find
relaxation in the forest preserves, the Govern
ment officials have undertaken TO provide pure
water supplies garbage disposal and other sani-
tatim aids. The campers who spend their vaca-
tions ON the Federal reservations like to live
in tents, but not too far away from other
campers. This tendency has aided in the de-
velopment Of q fine system Of camp sites. b.
Altogether there are now $500 camp grounds
set aside for vacationists and Of these 1,1S7 are
