LEVY eOURTMEN NOT PLEASED.

because street and Sewer Directors Did
Not CONFER on Third Street Bridge Mat
ter. a... IA ~.
The bridge committee of the Levy
Court met Saturday at the Court
House and wasS not very much pleased
that the Street and Sewer Directors
did not put in an appearance to confer
with reference to ferrying people across
the Christians when the Third street
bridge is turned off next week. The
Levy Courts position is that the court
is not morally responsible for the con-
ditions which require the turning of OF
the bridge. The Federal government
gave permission to have the bridge
there; the government is dredging the
stream at the request OF the city of Will
ming ton, and the government wants the
bridge turned to permit dredging. 30
that it is through no fault of the Levy
Court that a way Of ferrying people
across the stream must be provided.
The court is willing to bear share
Of the expense, but not all. Sooner than
allow the citizens to suffer, the COM
mittee will provide boat and will take
the chances offbeing repaid.
Saturday afternoon the committee and
Cant, Horace Wilson of the Whining
ton Steamboat 90. will 60 to Philadel-
phia 10 see il they can arrange for q
steamer to ferry the people across. II
is proposed to try and secure one OF the
Schuylkill boats. The ferry service is
to begin on Monday, when the draw is
to be turned off and dredging begun.

Interested In Big Plant Being Constructed
on the Delaware.
Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 2s.--It has
been learned that Henry G: Frick is
the big financial power behind the New
York Sbipbuilding Co., which was
capitalized short time ago at s3. 600, :
600, and whose yard is on the Delaware
River between Camden and Gloucester.
He has been in consultation here with
the leading men of tho company. those
present we're Andrew Mellon, wealthy
banker of Pittsburg; Henry Phipps, Fl.
l., Schaffer and N. s. Schoonmaker,
ali Of Pittsburg, the latter Mr.. Frick's
right-hand man; Mr.. McCook and Jay
Philips OF New York. and Henry g.
Morse of Philadelphia.
The intention of the company is to
make its yard the finest in the world,
with a capacity for dozen battleshirs
at time. The property on which the
yard is located has a frontage on the
Delaware River Of 5000 feet and an
area Of 100 acres. Mr.. Friok conceived
the idea that in order to develop the
yard in manner commensurate with
the original intention the capital
should at least be increased to Sc, 600,
OOO. This is what brought him tc
Philadelphia.
Mr., Frick and his associates visited
tie site Of the shipyard. The plan is
rapidly approaching completion.
