requesting the Benjamin Foster Co.,
street contractors, that If they were
asked to extend the width of the
pavement beyond that which the con-
tract specifies, that they do the addi-
tional at the contract price. 1t is
thought that if the contractor should

New Wilson Boat
Takes Dip Saturday
estate of Delaware" TO Be
Launched From Pusey &
Jones Ways

The estate of Delaware" the first
of the two big passenger steamships
being erected by the Pusey and Jones
Company, in Wilmington, for the
Wilson Line, will be launched from
the local yards of the Pusey and Jones
Company at noon Saturday, 31st.
Mrs. Joseph Wilson, wife of the
general manager of the Wilson Line,
will be the sponsor. The exact time
for the launching has not been deter
mined, but will depend upon the con-
dition of the tide, the hour being
somewhere about noon. The boat will
then lie at the dock and receive the
finishing touches, and in the course
of two weeks there will be a builders
trial on the Delaware river to deter
mine to the satisfaction of the owners
how the engines will succeed in the
qualifications claimed for them. The
new boats are to be a trifle speedier,
it is said, than the others in service
on the Wilson Line.
Work on the second boat, the "State
of Pennsylvania" will be pushed, and
it is hoped will be launched within a
month from this date. This will afford
ample time to discover anything that
may have been overlooked and get
craft ready to go into commission
by Memorial Day.
The vessels, when completed, will be
the most luxuriant river steamers on
the Delaware river. There will be ac-
commodations for 5000 passengers
and one of the five decks will be de-
voted to dancing with a fine orchestra
for the pleasure and accommodation
of the guests.
