Onening the Door of Opportunity
to Del-Mar-Va
At the regular meeting OF tne
lIewes Chamber Of Commerce Tue
legislative committee officially re-
norted the signing of bill approprl-
ating $4,000 for the purchase OF
building of a state owned pier at
Tewes. This is, to Del-Mar-Ha, the
most important bill presented at the
mast meeting of the assembly. mat
such a pier would be a reVenu9 plo-
ducing unit of the State Hlgn"ay
system, has been demonstrated ny
the immediate application OF two
companies for privileges of LANDING
and loading, as soon as space Oe-
comes available.
The Cape May Ferry Company
snonsored by Col. Jesse Rosenfelu'
and the proposed Coastal Frelght
Line. organized by the N. Y, Phlla.'
&, So. S. S. Co., to operate between
philadelphia, Lewes and New fork
City. have already expressed inter-
est in the project, and as soon as
rental figures on pierre space can De
complied, are ready to begin nego-
tiating for long term leases.
Both of these projects are OF IN
tense interest to the entire Del-Mar-
Va section. One Offering ready ana
inexhaustable market for farm anu
industrial products with snlpplnS
rate of less than half that onereu
by any other means of transporta-
tion. In addition to the low rates
nossible by the water route, proHpt
and early arrival on the New 1oFk
market often means the margin pc
tween a good profit and an aDsolute
loss to the shipper.
Today our market is limited 10 tne
area within which prevailing SNIP
ping rates will permit competltioH
with other producing centers' put
with water rates available, the en-
tire New York and New England
barket is open to the rapidly IN
creasing production of both farm ana
orchard. Should such long hopeu
for line become a reallty, we may
confidentally look forward 10 tne
time when the long lost Delaware
peach again becomes a fact ana tne
local fame of Del-Mar-Va products
will extend even unto Boston.
Benefits derived by the entire sec
ton from a ferry connecting nortn
and south by a road through Della
ware, Maryland and Virginia, nave
long been realized; but only through
the cooperation of the entire penin-
sula can either project become II,
reality. The steady stream OF motors
noN passing through philadelphia
-o,,1d largely ha diverted to us. |
