$100,000 PAID GOVERNMENT To Begin Work on Cape May Channel

PAID LAST FRIDAY

Representatives of the Secretary of ar of the United State* met the o;!lcial* of the Cape May Real Estate 1 ompany in Philadelphia last Friday w hen the latter paid lo AiaisUnlUi.ited -Slate* Treasure* Hosier HUUJMI in cash in consideration of securing a mu.-h deeper channel through t old ■ipring inlet to the great inland harbor at Cape May. The company lias dredged an area or about 600 acre*. 1 hi* inner harbor, wmch is no* being dredged without cost lo thegove nment to a depth of forty feet, will become available to Ibe commerce of Hie *orid by the conHlrucUon of s channel connecUng it with deep water of the Atlantic Ocean. This channel will have a width ot 860 feet and a depth 'rom 56 to 40 feet, sufficient to admit vesaels of the merchant marine or the greatest battleships. For the construction and maintenance of this channel, with tbs necessary protecting extending about 4600 feet into the ocean, the United Bute Government has appropriated (1,211,000, which became available upon the payment of the (100,000 by ths Cape May Real Estate Company. The War Department of the United 'Ute* recently awarded the contract for the channel construction, work upon which will be started forthwith, fhe Government has already completed a very substantial and commodious office building, with quarters for the engineer* in charge of the work, at He well’s Point,on the South side of the Inlet, where the channel connection with the harbor will be mode. Many men will be employed on the work. Under the conditions of the contract, aa prepared by United Him Ira Government engineers, about 286,000 ion* of stone w ill be required for the channel Jet lira. A x-art amount of piling will also be required. With the Government work under way, an active business period of long duration is assured for Cape May City for which a new era opens up. The extension of the city over the hundreds res adjacent to the great harbor, constructed by the Cape May Real Estate Company and the Uxpayer of the dig of Cape May, assures a great and important future for Cape May City, now to become a port of entry as as a harbor of refuge on a long stretch of coast heretofore unprovided with a harbor either of safety or for the
