New Steamers on Delaware.

/ ANEW 9eGaAACAO OA O(AA w ga -
Between Trenton and Philadelphia and
all important intermediate towns on the
Delaware an adequate, modern steamboat
service for both passengers and freight is
about to be established. Such is the pur-
pose of the Delaware and Atlantic Navi-
cation company, which has just been in
corporated under the New Jersey laws.
Those who have this important project
dent of the Philadelphia and Bordentown
Transportation company, now operating
the Florence between Arch street wharf
and Bordentown; Captain Henry T.
Brown, of Riverton; William Anderson,
251 Market street, Philadelphia, and John
T. Kuser and John P. Hutchinson, of
Bordentown.
While the matter still awaits final de-
termination, it is probable that the old
company will be merged with the Della
ware and Atlantic Navigation company.
The idea is to have several large boats of
light draft, capable of running all the
way TO trenton. ABOVE burlington the
channel has minimum depth of six feet
at low water.
These boats will be constructed from
special designs to meet the conditions of
the service. They will be much larger
than the Florence, costing $4,000 each.
The company is capitalized at $3.50, 600,
and can issue bonds to like amount.
1t is planned to have the new boats run
from Arch street wharf to Trenton, stop
ping both ways at Florence. Riverton,
Burlington, Bristol and Bordentown. In
summer there is an enormous traffic in
garden truck and package freight, which
it is believed, can be handled to advantage
and profit by river steamboat line.
