Engineers Urge $3,660, 000 Beside Funds Avaitable Be Spent en Improvements WOULD FINISH CHANNEL A slewing picture of the future of the pert of Philadelphia Is drawn by army engineers In the annual report of tbe chief of engineers te the Secretary of War, made public today. Impres sive statistics and financial summaries nre presented te illustrate the growth ef-the report and cmphaslze its poten tialities. The report declares the sum of $3, 000.000, in addition te funds new ayallable, "can be profitably expended during the fiscal year 1023," beginning .Tuly 1 next, en engineering and dredging projects at the pert and the amount 1a allocated thus : Ona million flve hundred thousand dollars te complete dredging improve ment te Iisten Range. Vive hundred thousand dollars for continuance of dredging in Philadelphia Harber. One million six hundred and sixty thousand dollars for malntenance, re pair and operation of dredges and exist In plgpt. Itfe recommendations nre made for modification of the dredging project as already approved. It is declared that with the comple tion of the thirty-flvw-foet channel in the Delaware Hlver many vessels having draft of from thirty-one te thirty five feet will make Philadelphia a reg ular i pert of call. Fbrdgn Trade Increases Quoting the value of Imports and ex ex eorts nt the Pert of Philadelphia in 1920. the report says: "Never before has the foreign trade t the pert reached such proportions as is recorded, the value of the Imports and rxperta having reached the total of ra3,201,OiT. exceeding by $56,935,441 the figures for 1010, which held the former high record. The quantity and value of the Imports show gains of ap proximately 50 per cent and S3 per cent respectively; and the experts, while In creasing about 4S per cent in volume, nhew a falling off of about 13 per cent in value. The revenue collected shows an incrcase of $2,284,480." It is pointed out that seventy-one regular "lines of steamships trnde nt the pert of Philadelphia, fifty-six of which are engaged in foreign commerce and fifteen in constwise trade. About half of the lines engaged in foreign commerce havn been established since the war, it is asserted. Concerning the proposed dredging op- " ' ' ""' I 1.1 rations at Camden, which have net jet been commenced, the report bqjh: "The funds avalhble ere netisuf1 flclcnt te complete the erk at pres ent prevailing prices, but would prob ably be sufficient te complete the upper section of the improvement. As the City of Camden contributed a portion of the funds, the opinion of the city au thorities lms been requested as te the fidvlsabllity of proceeding with the work at onre and completing as much as the available funds wll permit, or waiting until the season of 1022, when It raav be possible te obtain mere fa vorable bids." Dredging Plans Werk en this project, when begun, will be carried en along lines already announced. The engineers' plana cell for dredging in front of Camden te a depth of eighteen feet at mean low water, and from there te Kaighn'a Point Ferry, and thirty feet from the latter point te Newton Creek, thc depths tq extend from the projected thirty-fivo-foet channel in Oje Dcln Dcln ware River te a line parallel with the established pierhead line. The esti mated cost of the Improvement is placed nt $180,080, based en 1021 computa tions. Attention la called te the project for n harbor of rcfuge nt Delaware Bay, Del., for which no fundi) nre available because the failure of Congress te pro pre pro vlde the necessary appropriation. Says Soldier Robbed Her Ella Sbats, 818 Point street, Canw den, reported te the pollce of that city last night that a man dressed lna soldier's uniform snatched her handb&g at Delaware avenue and Cooper street between 0 and 10 o'clock last night.
