Final ERI Draft Deptford Township Environmental Resource Inventory DRAFT April 2010 The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is dedicated to uniting the region’s elected officials, planning professionals and the public with the common vision of making a great region even greater. Shaping the way we live, work and play, DVRPC builds consensus on improving transportation, promoting smart growth, protecting the environment, and enhancing the economy. We serve a diverse region of nine counties: Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer in New Jersey. DVRPC is the official Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Greater Philadelphia Region — leading the way to a better future. The symbol in our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The circular shape symbolizes the region as a whole. The diagonal line represents the Delaware River and the two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for the findings and conclusions herein, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. DVRPC fully complies with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes and regulations in all programs and activities. DVRPC’s website may be translated into Spanish, Russian and Traditional Chinese online by visiting www.dvrpc.org. Publications and other public documents can be made available in alternative languages and formats, if requested. For more information, please call (215) 238-2871.

    1928.] The Antigua Press 303 THE ANTIGUA PRESS AND BENJAMIN MECOM, 1748-17651 BY WILBERFOECE EAMES HE close relation existing between printing and the T post-ofiB.ce has been set forth in an interesting way by Mr. Worthington C. Ford in a series of letters from James Parker to Benjamin Franklin, printed for the first time in the Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1902.2 Franklin was appointed postmaster of Philadelphia in 1737, when thirty-one years of age, and in 1753 he was made deputy-postmaster-general of the British Colonies on the continent. These positions were an advantage to him in extending his connections, and at the same time an inducement to establish printing presses and gazettes in other places. The most im- portant of these branches was in the City of New York, where he entered into a co-partnership with James Parker in 1742 for starting a new press and newspaper. The Articles of Agreement, dated February 20, 1741- 42, were printed in Mr. Ford's paper, and show that Franklin was to provide the printing press and type, pay the cost of freight to New York, and bear one- third of the current expenses. In return he was to have one-third of the profits. Several of the British West India islands had printers and newspapers, like Jamaica, Barbados and St. Kitts; but Antigua, fifty miles east of the latter, >In the preparation of tMs paper I am under special obligations to Dr. A. S. W. Eosenbach, who first started me on it, and who has supplied most of the extracts which are herein quoted, from the original letters of Franklin in his possession.
