via New tle-PennsviIle Ferry


Announcement that motor bus ser
vice between Washington and Atlantic
City will be established through New
Castle, as soon as the New Cstle-
Pennsville ferry begins operations,
has been received with great interest.
1t is an indication OF the many pOSSi-
bilitieS of this new line, for the pro-
moters of the bus line selected the
New Castle Pennsville route as the
logical one for this kind of service
This line is a fOrerunner of similar
lines to be run from Baltimore and
other points in Maryland. Taking adj
vantage of the unusually fine weather,
the contractors who are working on
the piers on each side of the river,
have been able to make fine time and
are we'll ahead of their schedule. No
announcement has been made by Of
ficials as to when the service will be
started, but such an announcement
will likely be made in a short time.
