TERMINAL PROJBCT.
HArbr Commissioners Urged Wash
ington Authorities TO Aid.

tuh WI dukssVf}AsVt 10 Atu-
Two members Of the Boari of Har-
Dor Commissioners. Charles Warner
and Willard a. SpeAkman, are in
Washington today, To confer with
the War DEPARTMENT on the proposed
marine terminal at the mouth OF the
Ehristiana. river.
Last March a delegation Of United
States engineers from washington. on
their visit to Wilmington, held a pub
lie hearing on the local maritime sit
uation and its possibilities. The Har-
Dor Board. at that time, presented
plans and facts, which showed the
value of a city waterfront and the
benefit to deep sea shipping.
The plans since then have been
crystalized into definite object and
initial steps have already been taken
to make the proposition reality.
Bids for the initial unit have been
advertised and will be received I'D
to next Wednesday, It is therefore
believed that the local commissioners
viii make final plea to the govern
which have been requested OF the
Federal government.
These improvements include the re-
moval of the present jetsy at the
mouth Of the Christiana river and
the reconstruction OF the south jetty
extending from the down stream end
of the Harbor Boards initial wharf
development to the point Of bend in
the southerly harbor line OF the
Christiana river.
