CHRIsTIANA BRIDGE.

Mr.. Philips Thinks That the Levy
Court Has Made the Best Selection.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
In your issue of the 23rd instant,
you have an editorial on the proposed
new Christiana Bridge at Third
street, advocating its being placed at
Fourth street so that the street can
be used in makingsa straight thor
ougbfare to the Delaware river. If you
will take a map of the city, each city
directory contains one, lay this map
fiat and lay on it a rule parallel with
Fourth street over both the Christiana
at Fourth street wharf, and at the
mouth Of the Brandywine, you will
find IL will be necessary at Fourth
street wharf to bridge the stream
diagonally with the channel, making
a much longer span and much more
expensive bridge than crossing the
river at right angles, as the present
bridge is, and as proposed with the
new bridge.
Then, again. where Fourth street
extended crosses at the mouth Of the
Brandywine, the bridge, if placed di-
rectly on the line of the street, will
cross both the Christiana river and
the mouth of the Brandywine river,
making it necessary to build bridge
at least three times as long and cost
ing probably five times as much as il
placed at some other location, and at
right angles to the channel
IL such a plan for the bridging OF
the Christiana as above outlined were
submitted to the United States Army
engineers for approval, l am very
sure they would never recommend
such locations for the two bridges
necessary 10 make Fourth street a di-
rect highway to the river. This objec-
ton by the government would there
fore make it impossible to build these
bridges on the direct line of Fourth
street extended. If it is necessary at
some future time to reach the section
of the city known as Cherry Island by
bridge across the Christiana river,
and hope there will soon be a neces-
sity for this, another reference to the
city directory map shows a number of
streets running at right angles from
Christiana avenue, any of which could
be extended by bridging the river at
a proper angle to the channel, which
would be sanctioned by the govern
ment.
AS the proposed location of the
bridge near Third street is on almost
a direct line with Christiana avenue.
my opinion is that our Levy Court
has decided on the best possible loca-
ton for the new bridge. 1t is most
accessible for our present needs and
will provide easy access to the future
growth of all that section of the city
along the Delaware river front.

Wilson men, but opponents of the Governor here
have aroused the ire of the general so that he may

SAYS LAW FAVORS THE THUG
Citizens with No Means of Defence at
Mercy of Armed Ruffians.

In summing up yesterday In the case OF

convicted. He held up Jacob Born. the
proprietor Of saloon AT No. Z}62 Third
avenue. on November %. 1911 robbed him of
sl52 and shot Adam Kraus, the bartender,
through the left hand, in the mix-up which
followed
Samuel Feldman. counsel for Scott. had
ridiculed the idea OF such an affray as that
described by Born and Kraus taking place
in New York.
ct is I'm New York that such things can
happen" said Mr.. Press. I'm the Wild
West. presuming that there still Is one. a
decent man can get the drop on the thug.
but in New York the law abiding citizen Is
forbidden by the Sullivan law to carry a
revolver and therefore is at the mercy of
such ruffians as this defendant
The jury was out only a few minutes and
returned a verdict of guilty.

Local bankers Will shortly call upon the

the question whether loans made abroad
through special deposits with foreign banks
should be reported as loans" or amounts
''due from banks"
The ruling will have an important bear

New York banks, in reporting foreign loans
as special deposits" it is pointed out,
actually reduce the total amount from
which the required 25 per cent cash reserve
Is computed.
