that almost 600 children from
Area took the Red Cross Swim
course last year? This includes
Harrington and Milford for the

Ferry Data
Due In State
By April 2l
Information On That
Date Will Bring Up
To Date Previous Re-
ports Filed Earlier.

A preliminary report on the
feasibility of a ferry between
Lewes and Cape May, N. j.,
will be given to the Delaware
River and Bay Authority by Apr.
2. The report will bring up to
date a 1857 engineering and cost
report made by the firm Of Par
sons, Brinckerhoff, Quade and
Douglas and a 1858 traffic and
earnings report made by Wilbur
Smith & Associates.
William j. Miller, Jr., Chief
engineer Of the authority, will
meet Monday morning in the
Trenton office Of Dwight R. G.
Palmer, New Jersey highway
commissioner, to complete
authorization of the report.
The two reports, made for the
state Of New Jersey, will be
turned over to the authority by
Palmer. Miller, acting under in
structionS Of the bi-st at e
authority, will ask the two pri-
vate firms to bring the studies
up-to-date and give pre-
liminary report to the authority
April 81.
The 1853 traffic and earnings
report made by the Smith Co..
showed that even II the average
passenger car toll were $500
and the tolls on certain types of
trucks ranged up to $3.50 the
ferry still would not be a profit
able undertaking and would have
to be subsidized. Since tolls
were that large and since no
one wanted to subsidize the
project, the plan was abandoned.
