THE THIRD STREET. BRIDGE.
There has recently been go much dissatis-
faction manifested in relation 10 the compile
tion nf the new bridge at Third Street. that
Il has called out note of explanation from
Mr.. y. w. Hawkins, our Levy Court COM
missioner for Wilmington. He stalcs ONE
,ortwo facts winch should quicken the baai-
ness energies of our City Council little, and
hasten the completion OF the bridge. The
following Is the communication Of Mr.. haw-
kins:-- Bod. 4.--sft.ltAA5 .z.-f
There is n great commotion about the new
bridge at Third street, and misunderstood
Ing aboutit. The bridge ia not completed, hui
it is not the fault of tho contractor, nor OF tho
Levy Court, but Of the City Council. Mr.
Duncan, at the time the bridge was located,
was chairman of some committee oil council
lie sent nc note wishing TO have an inter
view with committee of the Levy Court.
The Council was invited to meet with us,
and they did so, and fixed the location of the
bridge to suit them, in accordance with the
act OF the Legislature, and agreed TO grade
the streets to the wharf line. This is all we
ask them to do. There can't be any cross
way on wharf, the county can't grade
streets in the city of Wilmington over winch
they have no control, and cannot interfere
with the grades in any way.
The Council complains that the city pays
two-thirds OF the tax of the county. 1t they
do, they pay no more in proportion to what
they have than any other Hundred in the
county. They complain we get nothing
