pect to have a boat running sometime
next week. They have the choice OF
two wharves to build out from and their
attorney informs them they can land at

The Company is offering book tickets
of 100 trips across the river for SIS. Bust
ness men in Wilmington and citizens of
Penn's Grove have subscribed for many
tickets. The book ticket is redeemable

pie with quick and cheap trips across the
Delaware, to promote travel and traffic
from each side. There are truckers on
this side and merchants in Wilmington
who think there should be a. better ferry
service between Wilmington and PENIS
