The Inland Waterway s; The Inland Waterway Commission [ decided to widen and deepen Middle Thoroughfare^ The surveyors ap- 1 3 pointed by New Jersey to [lay out and direct the course which .tills should , take have planted their stakes which indicate an air line, some of it requiring tbe out out of acres of meadows to get a straight channel. ftae advantages to all classes of people which this waterway will give f are untold. The visitors to all the seaQ shore resorts from Cape May to Bayt head will be connected by a channel g eigfit feet deep and one hundred feet wide. Along this water course many s pleasure excursion boat companies will . spring up and one will then be able to g take h direct[route from .the Southern extremity of New Jersey almost to the a Northern. Farmers and manufacturers will also have a more extended J market for their products and at B cheaper rate, witn better [service than ever before. B THE ENTRAOE TO CAPE MAY f HARBOR. 3 The entrance to the Cape May Har1 bor to be built by the ypited States - Government is now .iif course of cone struction and will develop rapidly. The piling at tne shore end is being rapidlv - put in place and several barge loads of ■ stone have been dumped at the outer t ends,' aggregating ; already about 3000 ■ tons. This work will continue steadily 1 from now on until it'is completed and i the great harbor and deep water entrance a fact. Great jetties will » open the eight hundred feet wide eni trance and dig away hundreds of acres of meadow, until the great land locked^ - bay will extend nearly to Turtle Gut Inlet above, which is to be closed in , order to turn great volumes of water i to flowing through the harbor entrance. i There are to be two jetties, one on Two Mile Beach and the other at f Se well's Point. The'two Mile Beach t jetty is to run on a parallel line with the high"bt. water mark four thousand s five hundred and fifty feet into the ocean. The width ' of this jetty is to v be thirty feet at tbe top and composed of pilings, quarried rock and cement, t That this jetty may .not have its foun3 dation on the shifting sands of the beach there is to be a wing three hun3 dred feet in length. This wing will , place -rife shore end of the breakwater on the solid mainland of Cape May. - The Two Mile Beach jetty will be run b out parallel to the Sewell's Point one, four thousand four hundred and ten - feet. The width .of the inlet or the i space between the jetties which will » be kept open will measure | eight hundred and fifty feet The tide swirling r through the space left open bv these - jetties w ill wear a channel from thirtyfive to forty feet deep. From national - statistics this is what has happened in ; otber cases. L That the west jetty may have its shore end on soild ground there will • be a w'ng constructed seven hundred e and fifty feet on an obtuse angle from the main jetty, thus bringing this end » on the high dunes of Two Mile Beach. For the directing and safeguarding v of the shipping,, which will roost likely r be attracted by the facilites which this inlet in conjunction with our magnifit cent harbor and prospective inland 9 waterways will afford, a series of Tight bouses and signal lights have been o planned. Along the entire length of t the'two jetties signal revolving flash tights will be olaced at regular inter- - vals. The life saving station which is e at the present time situated on Two r Mile Beach will be greatly enlarged and made more complete by many adf ditions. including a tight house. On s the mainland directly opposite the inlet there will be stationed a lighthouse - and signal light. r In order to help carry out the idea of the[aid to transportation and shipping. - the railroads intend to build (wharves - on the northwest Bide of the harbor - and run tracks from [there to Philadelphia. In this way boats laden with a products and merchandise would be . able to unload and transport to Philab delphia without making the arduous ii trip up the Delaware. Agaiq^ ships may tranship their cargoes here, which s are bound up tbe coast, on to boats , traveling through the prospective waterway. The competent engineers in charge of this [work state that tbe y tendencies of these jetties will be to j fill in and make even better the fine t beach which Cape May is already celeit brated for. The currents which run along the beach will have a tendency in this direction. The space which will most likely be affected will be from the end of the Sewell's Point jetty up bevond the iron pier. b
