OFFER $4,000 FOR
BRIDGE APPROACH

Philip l.. Garrett, attorney for the
Levy Court, has given no opinion so
far regarding the right OF trolley cars
going over the proposed new bridge
across the Christiana river. There is
possibility that no condemnation
proceedings other than amicable ones,
may be necessary TO acquire the ap-
proaches to the bridge. The offer OF
$4,000 to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company is satisfactory. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company owns
the ground on the west side of the
Christiana and the Levy Court wish
ing to acquire the ground for the ap-
proach has offered the railroad COM
pany $4,000 but the members Of the
bridge committee decline to talk
about the matter. II is known that
two real estate agents and another
man view the grounds and placed the
valuation below $4,000. In all prob
ability some reply will be received
from the railroad company tomorrow
