Let it be toe Peonle,s Boat.

By tho River and Harbor bill which
passed last week and at this writing
awaits only the signiture Of the Presi-
dent, Smyrna River will get another
$4,000 to improve its navigation. This
is good news, or ought to be. There
is not another town on the Delaware
below the New Castle Circle, that has
the same water and railroad facilities
as has Smyrna. The advantages for
manufacturing thus afforded are
thus apparent at glance. And the ben
eft TO cheap transportation of mer-
chandise of all kinds thus offered by
our two lines for trafiic-rail
and water-gives us business facilities
that we fear, are not appreciated to
their full value. The control of stock
and thus the control Of direction of our
steamboat fine is now held in our town.
A change Of policy is desired in owner
ship, viz: make a moneyed interest In
it to a greater or less extent TO the
many instead Of being held by a few,
as has been the case. A boat thus run
will become the peoples boat which for
personal benefit as we'll as for OOmmun-
ity considerations, they will patronize.
This is something the farmers and bus
mess men are generally interested In,
and since stock in the Philadelphia &
Smyrna transportation line has al
ways paid a good dividend, there is
every inducement fer men who have a
few dollars to spare, to show their in
terest in this local enterprise by bur-
chasing some shares of its stock.
