ACTING,FO CITY,
SAYS Mr.. MACLEAN
Asserts That There is No Sell
fish Motive Back Of
Wharf Project

r. ]. Maclean, president OF the Board
of Trade. is out to-day with a state
ment concerning the Delaware river
wharf project He gives the history
of the river front improvement pro-
iect. which is now in the hands Of a
joint committee of City Council and
the Board of Trade and asserts that
there is no selfish motive back Of the
project. as has been intimated by an
opponent Of the scheme
THE committees will act entirely in
the city's interests ana not in the in
terest of any one else" says President
Maclean.
Il have said nothing in-favor of any
particular point on the river FROM,
and at this time have no idea what
point will be favored by the combine 4
committees. The ownsrs Of land on
Cherry Island have not said a word
TO me in reference to the Board Of
Trade doing anything to encourage
the Improvement of Cherry Island.
Some members of the Board of Trade
have referred to the feasibility oi
building harbor at the foot Of Fourth
street; others have called attention to
Edge Moor. ana the others to the
south side of the Chrisuana touching
on the Delaware. The agitation. 50
far, has not been in regard to building
a harbor at any point on the Delaware
river but in regard to building a har-
Dor on the Delaware at such a point
as would best serve the interests OF
the city Of Wilmington.
THE persons who have taken special
interest in the present agitation, own
no land. as far as l know, on the Del
aware river front. ana therefore are
not selhshly interested in improve
ments on any part of the river.
