Correspondence OF the RsruBLrcAs.
DovKH, Jan. %. Its tho Five Com
missioner bin inside and outside the
state House now. The corridors have
been lined all week with lobbyists
working hard in favor OF the bill The
NEW Castle contingent were going IL
Nlone In the beginning of the week,
bttt several Kent men have Joined
them now and the work goes on with
unremitting vigor, and they are work
ing haitt, very hard now. The coterie
from Wilmington who came down
mere with coiors flying on Monday
plight and who succeeded in having
the bill read twice and referred to tile
rommittee on Tuesday, struck II snag
at the start.
Representative Day put the brakes
down by moving TINT 1000 copies of
the bill be printed for the use of the
sieuse. This, OF course, kept the bill
from going into the hands OF tho com
nlittee, and it isn't there vet. The
printed bill will be in the House to-
day.
Then the next move which still
further lowered the flag of the COM
mission schemers was made by Mr..
Smith, OF Wilmington, whose eyes
are exceedingly bright behind his
gold-rimmed glasses. He had the COM
mittee on Revised Statutes enlarged
by the addition Of two more New Cas-
tie members.
This was in part eheekmated yester-
day by Mr. Richards, who had the
committee still further enlarged by
adding to 1t a member each from Kent
and Sussex. This makes the commit.
tee nine, three from each county. But
neither tho two New Castle mem
beers nor the two added yesterday have
vet been named. It's the railroaders
who are now going slow, They want
70 know Just who Is who before
Speaker Sirman names the additional
men who are to handle it in commit
tee,
air. Pilling is also fighting hard in
the Senate against the bill, and it is
mainly through his efforts, seconded
by those OF the New Castle delegation
In the House, that next Monday night
has been set apart for hearing the adj
yocates and opponents of the bill.
Now 1t must be borne in mind by
the people of New Castle County, wiz
