Pennwtvania Pa. to merge port authorities PHILADELPHIA New Jersey and Pennsylvania have agreed to merge their port authorities, a move expected to sharpen the states' competitive edge and create jobs. Over an 18-month period, all state-owned port facilities will be consolidated under a new two-state board, which will become a subsidiary of the Delaware River Port Authority. Pennsylvania initially resisted the move, saying the state's port facilities had three times the value of those on the Jersey side of the Delaware River. Fugitives sought in northern Pa.

State police from four barracks scoured a rugged patch of northern Pennsylvania Saturday, searching for two fugitives who disarmed and abducted two sheriffs deputies at a rural restaurant. Both the deputies and a man abducted Friday night were left behind unharmed.

Horsey, Justices Andrew G.T. Moore II and Randy J.

Holland concurring, overturned part of a Court of Chancery ruling that, in dismissing a shareholder's suit, in effect approved the 1982-1983 merger of Technicolor a Hollywood film processing firm, with MacAndrews Forbes Group run by Ronald O. Perleman. Horsey wrote that Chancellor William T. Allen wrongly created a new legal hurdle for shareholders to overcome if they want to overcome the state's business judgment rule. The rule presumes that boards of directors act properly in mergers and sales unless shareholders can prove otherwise.

Then the burden shifts to the board to prove that it acted fairly. The case had been sent back to Court of Chancery for further consideration of this issue and other aspects of the merger.
