TmE MARKET STREET RRTnGR.

Every Evening pointed out. several
DAYS ago. the necessity Of q new Marke
street bridge over tho Brandyw4ne.
This paper showed that the needs az
the north side demanded a better etruc-
turo that increased intersiate vehicuiar
traffic could only he cared Tor properly
by the construction a larger cross
ing: ma that snfcty for All concerned
~ tho years TO come would depend upon
bridge being built without the danger
ous approaches which are on either side
of the present one.
There is agitation today FOR another
bridge 70 replace the present ono NJ
Eleventh street. We wouId not saw mat
this second one is not desirable. but
under present conditions Il is no, abso-
lutcly needed. The Market street one
- needed, The greatest need Of IN,
greatest number should be considered
nrst. The renewal Of the Eleventh
street can wait. The renewal of the
Market street bridge cannot wait.
We would not say 70 those who use
the Eleventh street bridge that their
wishes should not be considered ~ the
present time. We realize that thew
have a right to their views. and that
as citizens and taxpayers they should
be heard and that they should be given
full opportunity to voice their claims.
But we also are certain that when
those citizens realize that the Market
street bridge Is an absolute necessity
which has bearing on the welfare Of
The majority Of citizens that they will
JOIN with this majority in pressing the
need for this structure before those
gentlemen who have the deciding voice
in the matter
AS vital link Of the Lincoln high
way as a port Of entry 10 the business
heart of Wilmington. as small hut
important section or that great artery
which links Philadelphia on the north
and Baltimore on the south, we feel
that the Market street bridge cannot
be neglected al this moment. This
bridge serves not only Wilmington. but
Il serves the traffic Of three states also.
The other structures are important only
70 restricted areas within the city
limits. The needs Of The state should
come before the desires of a certain
portion n the community a new Mar
