been an active one. and il il thought thn'
rs motor boat racing Is SO popular on The
, Delware and off the South Jersey coast

/ tons. 1t Is possible that the Power Roat
Association may divide this section a-d
allow two organizations to govern the
( sport there This would leave the pcla-
ware River section to one and the south
| Jersey coast to the other.
