Want Lewes Made a Port of Entry


William Yox, a prominent man of
Philadelphia, met the citizens of
Lewes on Thursday evening in the
town hall and discussed the matter of
making a port at Lewes. Mr.. YoX
made two visits here prior to this one
and expects to return in few days,
when he will have his plans moro
complete. He is very enthusiastic
about the matter, with the advantages
and possibilities of making a port at
the Delaware Breakwater cannot be
surpassed elsewhere and he says it
will be only short time when vessels
will come into Lewes, and discharge
and take on their cargoes, instead OF
running a hundred miles to Ph1ladet-
phia for the same purpose. The cltl-
zens of Lewes manifested great deal
of interest in the meeting, to the ex-
tent that the room was crowded. An
organization has been effected with
DR.. Hiram R. Burton, president; Dr.
William P. Orr, Jr., vice president;
Thomas R. Ingram, treasurer, and
Joseph L. Marshall, secretary. In or
der to carry out Mr.. YoX's plans, II
will be necessary to have the outer
breakwater extended to shore, so as to
make a safe place for vessels to lie In
time Of storm.
