CITY WHARF
ON The RIVER
LObdelI Car Wheel Company
Would Give lOO-FOOt Strip
for That Purpose
BULKHEAD SUBJECT
UNDER DISCUSSION

Members Of the Wilmington Board
of Trade were informed last evening
at the adjourned meeting OF negotia-
tions now pendAg, by which the city, |
through the Board of Trade wnl be
able to secure a highly favorable site
for a proposed city wharf.
This matter was fully explained in
a letter to the Board from the Lo0dell
Car Wheel Company who are willing
to concede to the city strip of land
with a 100 foot wharf frontage run
ming from Christiana avenue to the
Christiana river and running parallel
with the company's canal.
The company also is willing to lease
to the city the strip of river frontage
200 feet wide situated between the
aforementioned strip and the COM
panys canal, for the annual rental OF
$50, the city-being at any time within
ten years privileged to purchase the
land at price of $25 per linear foot.
Rights must be reserved whereby
the Car Wheel Company can at any
time operate a private trolley system
for freight or passengers over the pro-
posed areas.
BY the proposed agreement the city
will have TO prepare the property for
suitability for river wharf and
should the city at any time abandon
its maintenance. It will be receded to
the Lobdell Car Wheel Company.
This is perhaps one of the most de-
sirable places for the city docks as the
deep-water channel is probably near
er to the bank Of the river than at any
other point.

Condition of River Front.
The river front committee. of which
Thomas H. Melvin is chairman, made
a report of its activities for the past
two years in trying to develop the
river front The committee quoted the
law passed by the LEGISLATURE in 1901
vesting title TO the Delaware river
front land Of Cherry Island between
| the river bank and the bulkhead I'm the
/ littoral owners. (the Wilmington Ter
minal Company contingent upon the
bulkhead being finished opposite any
littoral owner. As this bulkhead has
not been compleied the committee sets
forth its belief that the city has some
| rights in the pronerty. The committee
! suggests that the Board secure conn
sci or legal advice as to the validity
Of the law and also to determine what
rights the city or State has IN the
land created by the Government filing

# has repeatedlv tried to get from the

give the city a 300-feet wide boulevard
to the river front but has not sue
ceeded. "The only reply has been made
ip a communication TO your Council by
Mr.. s. Rodman Smith, in answer L
which your committee would refer {,
. an extract from the Constitution an,
laws Of the State Of Delaware" say
the committees report. Tho evtrac
from the constitution is Article s. Sec
