NEW YORK, Feb.'16.—~Pluns just
completed by Col. W. M. Black, of the
Engineer Corps of the United States
Army, will call upon Congress to
spend $40,000,000 for the lmprovtment
of the East River Channel between
New York city and the Long island
shore. The plans recommend the re»
moval of all the rocks and reefs in
the channel, and the widening and
deepening of the river at Little Hell
(late and the Harlem Kills. where the
current is now so swift as to be a
peril to navigation. A report on the
necessity for the proposed improve-
ment by the New York Commerce
Commission says:
“only very recently the Port of
New York reached the proud position
of the leading port of the world. The
competition of Hamburg. Havre and
Liverpool is close and keen, and um,
less New York makes ample provi»
sion it will lose this place. The com-
pletion of the Panama Canal, the
state barge canals. and the Cape Cod
Canal will find New York unprepared
to take care of the vast interest in
its commerce. unless the long neg. J
looted East River improvement is
pushed vigorously!‘
