JASPER STREET originally ran east from the Delaware River to Broadway. By 1947 the only houses on Jasper Street were in the 400 block. For many years there existed a shanty town known as Liney Ditch, after the creek, since buried over, that once ran from east of Broadway to its mouth at the foot of Jasper Street. In September of 1932, Courier-Post reporter E. Allen Hughes wrote a two part series of articles about the Liney Ditch community. |
