hundred, trouble came to the surface. At
the last meeting 1t was deferred on account
of the absence of Commissioner Sutton
of that hundred. As soon as the matter
was preached this morning Commissioner
Sutton arose aud said that the court had
no authority to annul the ac'i OF the
committee that had selected the pot,
Their actions were In conformity to the
law in every respect

objected to the site being placed on the

him patiently and ignored the
petition entirely, being impressed
with the idea that the commissioners
should report to the school board and

Mr. Hickman offered the following
Communication ana it was read by Clerk
Eiason:
ITO the Honorable, the President and
Levy Court Commissioners Of New
Castle county, Delaware.
GENTLEMEN: On behalf of the citi-
zens of Wilmington and Brandywine
hundreds, we the undersigned would re-
spectfully urge that a committee be
Appointed by your honorable body Iss
soon as possible TO consider the adviss-
bility, Of building bridge over the
BraDdywine at Washington street.
1--WE are of the opinion that the pres
ent is the most opportune time for such
an undertaking.
"The citizens on both sides of the
Brandywine are very urgent in their
demands for such an improvement, and
the necessities Of the case require that
initiatory steps be at once instituted,
looking toward the building of bridge
at this point.
Furthermore, we confidently believe
that the increase of property values and
the resultant increase of taxes will more
than compensate the county for the re-
CURED on lay of funds, in addition 10
The fact that the cost of such = strue-
ture would be much less now than it
probably might be, If left until later
day.
Trusting that the subject will have
your immediate attention, we subscribe
ourselves.
