Coast Parkway Planned For Post-War Work A Garden State parkway, a continuous rente from the New York state line down the eastern seaboard of New Jersey to Cape May, was proposed Thursday by the New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce as part of a postwar state highway construction

program.

The highways and parkways committee of the Chamber, of which George W. Merck is chairman, presented the parkway as “the central core of a comprehensive, express system to develop the state's waterfront recreation areas and to provide them with protected roadway links with population centers. It ties in with existing highway development and accords with related proposals, including those of the State Planning Board and the Regional Plan Association. To Serve Resorts From Springfield to Rahway, it would be designed as a limited access highway for mixed traffic. Then the route would pick up a proposed shore parkway, cross the Raritan River over a new bridge and serve the oceaofront resorts by an inland route with a series of connective spurs. "Long-range highway construction planning," Merck said, “is greatly needed in New Jersey. This war affords our highway planners an excellent opportunity to blueprint in adequate detail a comprehensive road building program which New Jersey should prepare to undertake after the war is over." Names suggested by Merck for sections of the proposed highway system were “Palisades Parkway" for the route between AIS ine and the George Washington ridge; “Pleasant Valley Parkway" for the route from Great Notch to Springfield; and “Shore Parkway" for the road from Rahway to Asbury Park and thence southward to Cape May.

The HIALEAH RESTAURAHT

CAPE MAY CANAL r 'Why “Remember Pearl Harbor” when all you need do is “Remember South Jersey Canal” to realize that our country always pays a grim penalty for too many talkers and too few

doers?

Right now the U. S. Navy is demanding the canal across Cape May County immediately and the Governor and other authorities are hustling to take the necessary

steps.

But years ago the U. S. Army Engineers favored this project as a proper improvement for Federal aid. Instead of grasping this opportunity, the Chambers of Commerce in South Jersey and various civic groups got into each other’s hair over the question of site. Some wanted a location near

Cape May City, some near At- nuu . F

of couree . "ith “o bors Committee.’v' selfish busiuess purpose in view—

of course not.

At one__time even President Roosevelt opposed the canal as a defense non-essential, but later changed his 'mind—then running up against a faltering Congress. The Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association frowned upon it because the ADWA had a pet project of its own for a 31-mile expensive canal between Perth Amboy and the Delaware River at

Bordentown.

Atlantic City, itself, more's the E ity, was emblazoned in headlines adc in 1938 as opposing the Cape May canal and taking steps to fight it through its delegate representation in the waterways

association.

Even a cursory reading of the mountain of newspaper clippings through the years on this Cape May proposal makes your heart sink when you read today that hard-pressed Uncle Sam wants

the canal as an urgent war necessity, helping him to protect our coastwise shipping against enemy attacks, and at least three months will be required to t

it after we start!

On this worthy preparatory step, as on so many others, we had millions for words but not

one cent for action!

On Oct. 7, 1938, this newspaper had grown weary of urging “South Jersey unity*’ and addressed an editorial to Congress as follows: “Not all of us

_ dug . . . Some of us

would be entirely satisfied with a canal ANYWHERE in South Jersey that the engineers think it should go ... No matter where located it must prove bene-

ficial to all South Jersey."

On February IS, 1939, wc started off in an editorial with “It’s kind of tough to have Hamply Moore and his Deeper Inland Waterway Association pouring cold water on our proposed canal across Cape May County before the House Rivers and Har-

As things turn out, it was more than tough; it was tragic. Wordy controversy does not stop torpe-

does.

Hereafter we can do worse, when considering as an impartial public plans for public progress made in good faith, than “Remember Cape May Canal!”

Asks Public To Save Old Tags Motor Vehicle Commissioner Arthur W. Magee today announced that his department has formulated plans' for collecting old license plates from New Jersey car owners as a measure of salvaging'metal for national defense. “Recognizing the desire of many people to contribute to the war effort, arrangements have been made to accept old license plates at the 28 state motor vehicle inspection stations,” Magee said. “It is hoped that by this means considerable tonnage of steel, which otherwise would be destroyed, will be recovered for war purposes. “Many motorists have accumulations of old plates around their I garages. All of this scrap steel will be welcome and the sooner the better.” Issuance of the 1942 plates will begin March 1 and they can be attached to the vehicle immediately. The new tags must be displayed on all vehicles after midnight, March 81.
