BAR FORMING
In BRANDYWINE
May Become As Large As
ThatChOr'S Island
NOTICEABLE SINCE STORM
Course Of SheIIpOt Greek Nav be
Changed 80 That 1t Will Empty
IntO Delaware

People who have been watching the
Brandywne creek since the recent
storm, which flooded that section of
the city beyond Eleventh street
bridge, have noticed several changes
in the stream. One of the most no
ticeable changes is a bar that has
formed in the creek above Eleventh
street bridge. II is about 100 feet long
and every day at low tide it can be
seen.
Part of the material that is now
forming the bar came from Thatcher's
island during the recent flood. Since
the freshet more dirt has caught on the
shoals. IL is the belief of rivermen
that in time another island will be
formed in the Brandywine equal to
Thatcher's island.

channel, and make il empty into the
Delaware river. One plan is 20 dig q
canal, and another is to use part of the
old bed of Mud creek.
The course of what is now Shellpot
creek would then be filled in and rail
road tracks built on it. To change the
course Of the waterway, it would be
necessary TO get the permission OF all
those who own property abuttng
upon it. The railroad company OWNS
