Thirtieth Street runs from the Delaware River south, across River Road to the Pavonia railroad switching yard, then to Westfield Avenue and on to Federal Street, and to the intersection of Line Street and Beacon Avenue, just above Waldorf Street. It is North 30th Street above Federal and South 30th below.

The hour-long effort of a fire department rescue squad saved Mrs. Florence Marshall, 46, of 330 North Tenth street, who had locked herself in the bathroom and turned on a gas jet.
