OCEAN CITY INLET PLAN

Maryland stands ready to have

poration funds spent in improve
ment work and widening and deep
ening the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal according to a pro
gram of projects tentatively ap-
proved in Baltimore by Governor
Ritchie's statewide Public Works
Coordinating committee It is
planned to deepen the canal from
II to 80 feet and widen it from 80
to 300 feet so that ocean going
steamers could pass through, and
thereby cut down the sailing time
from Baltimore to European ports
by a whole day. The proposed can
al improvement was the largest of
ten proposals included in the pro-
gram. Among the other projects
suggested was the widening of
Knapps Narrows between Thigh
mans Island and the mainland of
the Eastern Shore, and the con-
struction of a bridge at that point,
to cost $4,000, and the deepening
and widening of the channel be-
tween Deals Island and the main
land The construction of the
much discussed inlet below Ocean
City at a cost of S781 900 was also
included in the tentative program.

ginia, West Virginia and the Caro-
linas will be linked into a district
