Perrine Had Obstruction
Removed,

Mrs. Lizzie Perrine, of BrIdgeton,
does not believe in Governmental red
tape. Last week the coal barge Henry
g. sank in the Cohansey river. Word
was sent to the office OF the United
States Engineer in this city as the
river Is in this jurisdiction. An in.
spector was sent down and he for.
wardcd his report to Washington.
Mrs, Perrine saw that a sand bar
soon formed and that should flood
arise the Zig body of water would fol.
low the old bed which is under
the new Criterion Theatre aud leads
through the centre of the street. The
loss would have been fully $4,000.
Mrs Perrine owns much OF tho
property thai was endangered and
while the red tape of the Government
permitted the barge to lie in the river
she awarded the contract for the re-
moval of the obstruction.
The barge was removed Yesterday
and the work Of unloading the coal
was commenced. An inspector from
the engineers Office in this city was
present yesterday when the barge
was removed from the channel.
At the local office to day it was
learned that the Government in such
cases requires the inspector to send
report and then an allowance is made
for the removal of the obstruction.
Mrs Perrine will ask the Government
10 refund the none" paid by hos TO
have the coal barge removed.
