HERE appears 10 Uc one lulnSv
certain aud that is, if the citizens
OF Whining ton expect any financial
aid from the Government, they must
insist on the sewerage that runs
into the Christiana river being
taken out. City Council will have
to make an appropriation every
year 10 be used in removing the
dirt which empties into this stream
Of water IRON the sewer pipes.
This is a necessity that must be
met, after which Congress may help
along BY making a respectable APP
preparation to dredge the dirt from
The channel of the Christana river.
1t had been hoped mat big ap-
preparation Tor bu!kheading and
making other permanent improve
nents 10 the stream would be Sc
cured from the Congress which is
now in session, but it don't t appear
10 tie so easy. az some Wilmington
lans thought. There is no reason
why the Government Should take
money from the public treasury TO
bulkhead stream which would
enhance private property at the
expense OF the government.
But tnereis some reason why the
Government should donate gen.
erous sum to help dredge out the
channel Of the Chrstiaaa RIVER
The city OF Wilmington cannot ex-
pect 10 have all this work done at
the expense OF the Government.
These manufacturers and mer-
chants who do shipping business
and send away aud receive freight
every day by water, would be the
ones to feel the pinch It Uncle sam
was not inclined to be generous in
river and harbor matters. The
Chrlstinna river is worth severa!
