		Ed Rendell canceled a crucial meeting of the Delaware River Port Authority, which he chairs, apparently over continuing delays in a proposed $300 million dredging project.
		The meeting was crucial because the authority, which operates the Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman, Commodore Barry and Betsy Ross Bridges and the PATCO High-Speed Line, must approve its annual budget by the end of the year or violate bond agreements, which would require making immediate payments of hundreds of millions of dollars in debt.
		But Jeffrey L. Nash, vice chairman of the port authority and head of its New Jersey delegation, said New Jersey isn’t likely to approve the dredging by the end of the year.
