CHANGE WANTS ICE-BOATs.
Captains of tugboats that reached
New Castle yesterday reported having
encountered considerable ice in the
Delaware river as far down as Duck
Creek fats. The ice was three or four
inches in thickness, and hoated from
shore to shore. While It was not SO
heavy as to interfere with navigation
yet the tugboats were much longer
coming up the river than usual.
The temperature in the lower Della
ware for several ays. until yesterday
afternoon, when it rose several de-
grees. was considerably below the
freezing point, and the water, as il
dashed on the decks OF the boats, was
soon frozen. The ice was said to be
heaviest at Reedy Island and New Cas-
tie.
At a meeting Of the Board of Direc.
tors of the Maritime Exchange yester.
day 1t was ordered that "a communica.
tion be addressed to the director OF pub
lie works, urging the immediate com.
missioning of one of the city ice boats
