We should be glad il some OF our friends o, Do
yer would regularly furnish US with the proceedings
OF the Senate. We hear nothing Of what is doing
by that branch Of the Legislature.
UetaWare Legislatare.-We have received The
proceedings Of the House of Representatives to Fri
days but they came too late for this days paper.
We have, however, given below, what appears to
be mos, interesting.
On Friday, Mr.. Brobson, chairman of the COM
mitee to whom referred SO much Of the Gov
ernor's message relates to the communication
from the Governor of Pennsylvania, laid on the ia
Bile the following report, TO wit:
The committee 10 whom was referred SO much
Of the Governors message relates to the commu.
nca,ion by the Governor of Pennsylvania, Of an ACT
of the General Assembly OF that commonwealth
passed the 28th of March, 1920, entitled " An
act TO revive certain acts in relation to the canal
lock navigation OF the Brandywne creek" and Of 9
resolution of the General Assembly of that com.
monweath adopted on the 25th of March, 1925, in
vting the adoption OF similar act by the Legisa
lure OF this State having given to The subject res
pectf0l and attentive consideTaton-report that the
various and valuable manufactures established with
in this State. on the Brandywlne creek constituting
u
the committee deem il duty Of the Legislature 10
extend to them every advantage which it can de
consistently with what it owes to the other great in
terests OF the State, and with its constitutional pow
ers; and that It is especially incumbent on Il
to avoid and scdulously to guard against the adop
ton Of any measure which might prove in its con
sequences, detrimental 10 the interests of these
valuable establishments. On the subject which
has been referred to them, the committee did no
find 1t necessary to resort to the information o
others to enable them to come to the conclusion tina
the opening of canal from the head OF the Brandy
wine to the Christina creek which was to derive it,
supply of water exclusively from the former
stream, could not fail to produce the consequence.
sganst which they conceive it to be the duty OF thu
Legislature to guard. The manufactures on tina
stream, it is we'll understood, require all its watel
Tor their own proper purposes and il is further IN
derstood that during the summer season all tn,
water in the stream has for some years past FUR
nished an inadequate supply for these purposes.
The committee have direct Information th
point, now in their possession, from source which
is entitled to the fullest confidence and which s con
elusive with them that no water can be drawn iron
this stream for the object contemplated by the &C
OF Pennsylvania, without producing ruinous conse
quenccs 10 the important interests concerned.
They have also learned that the commissioners
appointed to carry into effect the act OF Pennsylvania
residing in this State. were deeply persuaded o
the evil which WIS likely to ensne from the mea
sure, that they only refused to act in that capa
city, but as individuals cxerted all their inhu enc
against it; fact Of great weight with the commit
tee, because the gentlemen alluded to- were, from
their intelligence and their local knowledge, per
fecty competent to decide correctly on th, subject
The spirit Of Internal Improvement which nos
pervades the country, and so laudsby actuates thu
councils oil Pennsy lyanis, has doub, suggested III
present application, and it would afford high graft
fcation to the committee 10 have it in their power
recommend the adoption. on this occasion, Of
co.operang act consistently with the duty they owl
TO their constituents Having devoted to this sub
ject the consideration due to an important commu
ncation from respectable sister state, the commit
tee have come unanimously 10 the conclusion, tina
it would be highly mex pedient to accept The invita-
ton contained IN the communication from the Gov
ernor OF Pennsylvania, which is referred to in III
message of the Governor TO the General Assembly
and they therefore request that they may be dis
charged from the further consideration OF the sub
ject.
On motion Of Mr.. Brcbson, the Report was real
and adopted.
