DELA. RIVER TUNNEL IS
GIVEN APPROVAL BY NJ.
CONFINED from First Pagel

COHfiHHed from First Page
Two lanes of traffic are planned
for the tube, to be SIS feet nndef low
wafer at its lowest depth, and 1900
feet long. Sponsors of the project
say it is patterned after the Posey
tunnel between Alameda and Oak
land, Calf, under a section of the
San Francisco Bay.
Joseph B. Simon, Daniel V. Louis,
and Oscar Brown, of Philadelphia,
and William R. Smith, of Salem, N.
j., filed Incorporation papers for the
company which pointed unt that
654,787 vehicles crossed ferries in
the WilmingtOn-Penn's Grove sec
tiOn of the river last year. The cOh-
ccrn said it would charge "cCnsid-
erably less" than the fare charged
by the ferries.
State Senator S. Rushing Leap of
Salem, N. j., is counsel for the COM
pany, and John Meigs, former direc-
tor of docks and ferries OF Philadal-
phia, is engineer.
No Data Received As Yet
While there has existed sentiment
here in favor of either Il bridge or
tunnel connecting the Wilmington

ih such a project i'm the past. who
could be reached Monday night, had
any information concerning the new
company.
Before a tunnel can be built, 1t
was reiterated, the tunnel company
will have to obtain not only Fed
eral permission, but will need sane

Legislature 10 carry on the work,
the underwater land in the Della
ware river now belonging TO Della
ware under a recent Supreme Court
decision settling the dispute of river
rights between this State Pnd New
Jersey.
This view differed from opinions
voiced at Trenton where il was
pointed out that Delaware. has no
board similar to New Jerseys Board
of Commerce and Navigation and
that no approval by this State woull
be required.

II7 HIS week and next
many of our boys and
girls will be leaving
the home nest, shall
we say, for the first
time. Some will be going with
fear and trembling; others with
high hopes for the future, in
which he or she will be able to
do something about this old
world which has, heretofore,
been going i'm rather a slipshod
fashion. There is the accent on
youth today, and why not? They
have the assurance, which Is
step-sister to faith, without
which little can be accomplished.
Education is the watchwOrd for
every walk of life, but it does not
necessarily provide the job. Per-
sonally,. with a high regard for
the real things, enter into the
requirements for what must fol-
low these days in school and
college. And every mother, as
these youths are leaving, won
ders if she has fortified them for
the things that are new and diff
ferent.
