WANTU.S.TOAID DELAWARE SPAN Coriimissions to Ask Gov ernment to Foot Half Expense TOTAL COST- $12,000000 Span of Federal Importance, It Is Pointed Out at Conference Federal aid will be sought for the construction of the proposed Delaware niver bridge to link Camden and Phila delphia. , , Tho question of seeking help was taken up today at a luncheon and con ference of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Commissions in the Rltz-Carlton. Reasons why tho Government should bear one-half tho expense were outlined by Dr. Warren P. Laird, University of Pennsylvania, who has been chosen to aid In the selection of terminal sites for the bridge. The total cost of building the bridge is estimated roughly at $12,000,000. If the Government would bear one-half of the cost, the two States would share equally the other half Argument Advanced Doctor Laird's ar&ument fellows: i ,,,inr liichwav bridge between Philadelphia arid Camden, forming a link between considerable pans 01 i in not now connected, Is of vltul import ance to the Government, in time of peace as well as of war. "Therefore the Pennsylvania commls s'on proposes-that the Government be asked to finance the Delaware nivcr pro ject, assuming ultimately one-half Its cost and collecting the remaining half from both States, each thus bearing one fourth of the whole cost "In support of this proposition, It may be staled to the Government that: "First. All of southern New Jersey and the metropolitan area of Philadel phia center at tho proposed bildge, which thus lies at a point of peculiar strategic value. "Second. Philadelphia, the greatest Industrial center in the United States, and southern New Jersey with Its largo nnd growing Industries at Camden nnd its extensive natural resources tributary to Philadelphia, have now no vehicle nmiinii aiinii other than by fer-y. a. system wholly inadequate to present o...i oi,rt nn actual obstacle to the V33t developments awaiting only a free and lapld means of Intercommunication. "Third. At this time there exists but one direct motor truck rout.6 by bridge over the Delaware River between Phil adelphia and New York-that by way of Trenton. The proposed bridge at Phil adelphia would therefore provide a sec ondabsolutely essential to communica tion In event of accident to tho Trenton bridge."

FEELS WAR'S PINCH Business With City Contrac tors Falls Off 90 Per Cent From Year Ago Mayor Smith's bonding company Is feeling the pinch of the war. For the first half of the present year the business of the Mayor's company with contractors doing city work has fallen 90 per cent' below the amount un derwritten for the National Surety Com pany during the last 8lx,montlis at 1917, The halting of municipal contracts because of the scarcity of building ma terial and the shortage of labor Is re. sponsible for the sag In the bonding business. For the first six months, ended June 30, the Thomas B. Smith Company, of which the Mayor is the principal owner. provided surety bonds on municipal con tracts to the value of (663,354.25. From July 1 to December 31, 1917, the Mayor's concern handled business to the extent of 36,391,379. The total for' 1917 was (8,832,823. , Commissions totaling 3.30,000 are' re ported to have been garnered by the Smith company en business written for city contractors. On the basis of 30 per cent, ine . per ceni premium derived by the National Surety Company would net the Mayor's company about (2000. While the Smith' company wrote sub way bonding contracts last year Involv ing millions, this year the Mayor Is annulling contracts Instead of awarding them. Lieut.
