Extensive surveys and investigations by Engineers of the State Canal Department indicate thnt sheet piling for bank protection of the canal , new jetties ior thc entrance! of Peconic Bay and other minor improvements to tho channel will cost $240,000. .. The Shinnecoek Canal connecting the waters of the Great South Bay antl Peconic Bay is a part of the state canal system and affords a direct waterway connection nlong the South Shore of Long Isalnil. It carries traffic , of approximately 15,000 boat passages annually. One-year count of traffic through the canal indicated that 80 per cent, of thc vessels passing through were pleasure craft. The other 20 per cent, were chiefly engaged , in fishing and shell fisheries. The fact that the "seed" oysters for planting on the famous Bhie Point beds in .Great South Bay are chiefly obtained from Long Island Sound makes the Shinnecoek Canal , short-cut between the two destinations, of great importance to oysterman. Part of the boat traffic is engaged in returning shells from the opening houses to the Long Island Sound waters where the natural "s>et" of oyster spawn provides thc stock of "seed" oysters, so that there is two-way commercial traffic through this connecting waterway, According to the reports received by the I-ong Island Chamber 's Com(Contir.ued on page 2, this section) WOMAN MADLY BURNKI ) SAVING SICK. aill.DIM'lN Mrs. Camilla Miisiello of North Merrick wus severely bunted in rescuing her two children from their burning home.
