PROCLAMATION

WHEREAS, on February 15, 1973, pursuant to the provisions of Section 3125, Title 20, Delaware Code, I, Sherman W. Tribbitt, Governor of Delaware, proclaimed a State of Emergency to be in existence for that section of the State below the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, including the lower portion of New Castle County and all of Kent and Sussex Counties, because of the curtailment of all rail transportation service in that area as a result of the accident and resulting damage to the Chesapeake and Delaware Railroad Bridge; and

WHEREAS, I find that such State of Emergency no longer exists due to the complete and dedicated cooperation of the many who worked unselfishly to repair the bridge and restore rail service;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Sherman W. Tribbitt, Governor of the State of Delaware, pursuant to Section 3125 (d), Title 20, Delaware Code, do hereby proclaim the State of Emergency declared February 15, 1973, as aforesaid, to be terminated.
