Action Expected Soon on Ship Canal Plan
The ship canal linking the Delaware River and Raritan Bay could gain momentum as Governor Walter E. Edge prepares to present the proposal to New Jersey's legislature. He would tie state funds to federal matching aid, creating a joint intercoastal waterways project. The canal promised strategic naval value and by peacetime would spur factory sites, warehouses and tax base growth along New Jersey shores.

State to supply cheaper lime fertilizer to farmers
The administration proposes a no lime crusher at Annandale Farm with 100000 ton annual capacity operated by institutional labor. It will deliver lime for fertilizer to farmers at a price well below current market rates. Production will meet State Agricultural Experiment Station estimates, with expansion possible if demand grows.
