Camden, New Jersey, will be finished in a day or two, and will be
brought to the terminal by barge
in a matter of days.
The slip for the Delaware
Street wharf terminal, also constructed at the same firm, will be
brought in section and
assembled at the wharf.
Contractors have guaranteed
that the ferry will be ready for operation by the first of August.
The two ferry boats
recently purchased are to arrive within a few days. Business men are
looking forward to the increase in new business.
A ferry was operated across
the river here a hundred years ago.
