Looks Like a Steamboat Now.

The meeting held last Saturday in
Firemen's Hall for the purpose of dis
cussing the pros and cons OF steam
boat to run fIom Milford to Philadel-
phla was very well attended when the
weather was considered. It was shown
that a wooden hull would cost, includ-
ing the necessary wharf and buildings,
and equipped with machinery that
would drive her from 10 to u knots per
hour, about $4,000. A steel hull, etc +,
would cost about $4,000. OF course the
latter is much to be preferred, bat it will
depend upon how much stock is taken
here. Those at a distance are anxious
to subscribe for stock, but it is best to
have it taken locally by farmers and
merchants, who are then directly in
teTesttd in the success Ofthe enterprise,
and will patronize and work for it.
Those present subscribed for 100 shares,
and a committee composed of Frank
B F. B. WOodall, George
Reynolds and ]. Elbert Webb was
named to see the farmers and get their
personal subscription to stock. Several
who are earnest advocates Of the enter
prise were absent from the meeting,
and one lady called Mr.. Richards up
over the phone on Monday asking him
to call and get her signature for 20
shares Of stock at $50 per share. The
report that they seldom are
turned away without a subscription for
At least one share. and every farmer in
4 radius Of ten miles Of Milford should |
AXE at least one share in a stesmboat |
inc from Milford TO Philadelphia 1t
will repay them in one fIuit season
IlOne by the increased competition from
buyers. The local spectators do not
want a boat here; it would interfere
With their business. Subscribe early,
is it is time that the boat was in process.
