STILL CLAMORING FOR
SOUTH RIVER BRIDGE
County Commissioners Accused
OF Using Obstructionist Tac-
tics Rather Than Help
DELEGATION IS PRESENT

The clamor for the South River
bridge Will not be stilled is was evil
Idenced yesterday when Charles y.
Wilson addressed q letter TO the
BOARD ii County Commissioners
further the project rather than create
obstacles which prevent its building.
Eugene r Childs also appreared be-
fore the commissioners with dele-
cation urging them to take some ac-
tion towards having the bridge built
Immediately.
AS spokesmen for the delegation
Mr.. Childs said he knew Of contrac-
tor who would build tho bridge for
$4,000, which Is Just SIX thousand
more than the legislature set aside
for the project
Action will be held In abeyance un-
itil d successor In appointed by Gov
Harrington to succeed the late Com
missioner Bassford, who died Tues
day morning
Following Is the letter written by
mir. Wilson and read ait the meeting
Tuesday
ITO the County Commissioners:
AS the Legislature presumably pass
ed upon the advisability Of bridge
when they authorized the bond sale
for thirty thousand dollars the only
question before us Is whether the
commissioners are warranted In
spending little more for 1t than was
deemed necessary at that. time
The commissioners are In favor Of
/ the bridge or they would have block
Cd the legislation but. II has seemed
to me that, instead OF trying to sur
mount any difficulties that might arise
and put Ii through, their attention was
given to finding obstacles and explain
1 Why II could not be done.
The county commissioners have it
/ in their power to cooperate with the
federal government IN advancing puh-
lie work as means OF stimulating IN
dustrial activity and giving employ
ment To returning soldiers
AS to the worthiness OF the bridge
1 project possibly enough has been said
but. lis one 10 whom the inconvenience
and unreliability OF the ferry Is q
daily annoyance cannot refrain from
expressing the personal opinion that,
in the light Of advancement and pro-
gress the ferry, which at the time Y
/ was installed was perhaps an I'm

COM. GILL TELLS OF
NAVAL POWER IN WAR

Commander G. G. Gill, q. 81 N.
who seryed as flag secretary 70 Vice
Admiral Gleaves. during the war. and
was formerly s instructor in the
English department az the Naval
Academy. has written of the war and
its naval lessons under the title.
Naval Power in The War He
gives his observations of various
phases Of the war. from the naval
standpoint and his views as to the
needs Of the American Navy Of the.
future.
Perhaps Commissioner Gill's most
important conclusion Is that an ef-
feetiye navy is the logical defense for
u country situated like the United
States, navy adequate to seek and
defeat enemy ships long before they
can approach our coasts, thus pro-
tecting outlying possessions and the.
sea borne trade SO necessary to our
national life; III other words. navy
which stands for worldwide respect
for legitimate American interests.
The cornerstone of naval power is
the gun, and the measure Of ma
tinn's sea power Is the strength of
her battleship fleet In spite Of the.
development of tile mine and torpedo
into important factors Commander
Gill finds that the high-poWer naval
gun Is still supreme; 50 II has been
ii the past: so II lis now. and SO II
probably will continue 10 be in the
future.
Our author deyotes much space to
discussion Of guns and projectiles.
He urges further that, III order that
the United States may make good
defense of her great surrounding
oceans her battle fleets should have
a far.fiung service Of scouts to give
information of the movements of the
enemy An adequate air service. In.
clnding airshIps airplanes and cap
tive balloons. is Indispensable to the
modern fleet.
DesrToyers are needed ID attack
and confuse enemy ships. and at the
sA.ne time guard their own large
ships from similar attacks. snbma.
rines are necessary to help defend
the coaAtaw and also cooperate ais n
tactical subdivision OF the fleet Mine
layers are needed to harass and
menace enemy ships while mine
sBeepers and patrols are required to
.earch for enemy mines and sub.
marines. IN addition q these com
batant units. auxiliaries, including
transports, repair shops, hospital
ships and supply ships. are essential
to the life and vigor of fighting
