Gentlemen: Oa behalf of the citi zens of Wilmington and Brandywine hundreds, we the undersigned would re spectfully urge that a committee be appy luted by your honorable body {as soon as possible to consider the advisa bility of building a bridge over the Brandywine at Washington street. "Weare of the opinion that the pres ent is the most opportune time for such an undertaking. "The citizens on both sides of the Brandywine are very urgent in their demands for such an improvement, and the necessities of the case require that initiatory eteps be at once instituted, looking toward the building of a bridge at this point. "Furthermore, we confidently believe that the increase of property values and the resultant increase of taxes will more than compensate the countv for the re quired on lay of funds, in addition to the fact that the cost of suen a struc ture would be much less now than it probably might be, if left until a later day "Trusting that the subject will have your immediate attention, we subscribe ourselves.
