tremendously important one Of the Sc
lection Of the most suitable site next
requires attention.
Three Possible Sites.
Ease and safety of access to steam
ers and convenient connections to the
railroads; nearness to the channel:
convenience OF dray communication
with the central city district; and cost
OF property acquisition for and con
structlon and operation OF the term

this problem. Considerable nicely OF
Judgment is sometimes required in
assigning and balancing the proper
relative weights Of these items, but in
this instance fairly easy process Of
elimination brings us TO our conclu-
sion without much difficulty.
Three possible sites-unimproved
property only being considered-pre
sent themselves at once upon a study
OF the ground; the first occupying the
point OF land included in the westerly
bend of the Chrlstiana River between
Third street bridge and the Pennsyl-
vania drawbridge below the mouth Of
the Brandywine; the second, along
the Delaware River between the
mouth OF the Christiana and the Edge
Moor Iron Works; tho third. along
the westerly bank OF the Christiana
and Delaware Rivers between the
Lobdell Car Wheel Works and the
Pigeon Point Per OF the Wilmington
and Northern Railroad.
"The first named site is separated
from the main Delaware River chan
mel by the serious obstruction OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad drawbridg,,
through which the passage of steam
ers would be neither very easy nor
very safe. some risk always accom-
panying the navigation of narrow
openings by large vessels, especially
in streams subject TO freshet condi-
tons. as the Brandywine and Christi
ana are. The large number Of daily
openings OF this drawbrdge-no
more than 100 per days a serious
problem for the railroad to combat.
and the NEUTRAL reluctance Of the
draw operators to open II at times
when trains are due. or about due is
constant source OF complaint on the
part OF river pilots. To deliberately
aggravaie this cond ton by locating a
marine terminal above the bridge !
consider highly inadvisable. In addi-
ton TO this objection, the site IS too
