gineers made a survey of Leipsic river
from the state road to the bay. says the
Smyrna Times. They were met by the
leading citizens Of our town and taken TO
Garrison's mill and began the survey from
that point TO the Delaware Bay and found
the depth was three feet at the starting
point to twelve to fifteen feet at Martins
bridge with ample depth and room for an
ordinary craft that would be needed for
traffic. The inspectors stated that this
was the best river 10 the bay south Of
the Christiana on either shore and that
Martins bridge was a nuisance to the
river as the vent is not sufficient TO ac-
oommodate the body of water that passes
through there on the four tides each day.
