To the Delaware is the ever-recur-
ring, but ever-apparently battling
problem presented to Wilmingtonians.
Every man you meet appears to be
convinced that Wilmingtons future
greatness lies in the bed and waters
of the beautiful river which GIBBS and
flows so near and yet 50 far by The
citys doors.
Several attempts to reach this goal
have been made in the past by build
ing roads and once by the erection Of
a bridge. but yet so far as visible re-
suits are concerned there has prac-
tically been nothing accomplished.
This problem appears to be about u
present itself again through the good
Offices of Mayor Spruance, who
is endeavoring to open the matter for
discussion in the hope that good may
come of It.
The writer of this article Is one of
those who believes that roads to the
river even with docks at the river
end would in all likelihood fail to
accomplish the end sought. He be-
lieves with the others that Whining
toms future greatness lies in the Del
aware. but he is convinced that it
would be cheaper. more practical and
promise more certain results by bring
ing the Delaware river channel TO
Wilmington than in making another
probably fruitless attempt to take Will
mington to the Delaware.
The writer has no intention I'm APP
preaching this question to enter II in
2 shirt of controversy. He believes
that every man who has a suggestion
to make on this important subject. IS
entitled to a hearing and he is salts
fed that all are interested in a cause
which is for the common good.
In considering a great subject Of this
kind, for this is a great subject, Il
would be wise to learn what others
have done on the same line.
Cites City of Glasgow.
The city of Glasgow is now the sec
ond city I'm the British Empire. The
city of Glasgow has on its arp the
motto Let Glasgow flourish" A good
motto 1t Is too and one that It would
be well for Wilmington to adopt. II
sounds good and is solid foundation
to build on. But these canny Scots
did not stop at saying Let Glasgow
flourish" They tell the story of their
marvellous success in a very few words
namely:
Glasgow made the Clyde and the
Glide made Glasgow" A wonderful
story and yet none can question it.
If the motto of Glasgow was good
and applicable TO Glasgow who
will say that their methods were moi
equally good and equally applicable
to Wilmington Let Wilmington make
the Christiana and the Christiana vii
make Wilmington. Let US see whai
might be done.
