This goodly company had reached
"cigarsn on the menu when Toastmas-
ter Swayne took charge and introduced
the subject of road to the river in
which project the builders will lend a
hand. He read letters of regret from
Congressman j. S. Willis and Charles
GillinRham, president of the Philadel-
phia Master Builders Exchange. Then
followed the speech Of DIR. Hulburd
who said he liked to meet men who do
things There is large difference be-
tween theorizers and doers, and he
had more and more respect for the
doers. The men before him, IL not the
founders Of empires, were the builders
of cities.
DR.. Hulburd then became moro seri-
Gus as no discussed "the commonweal"
as embodied in this community, than
which he declared there are few OF
more promise. Speaking on the line OF
a river front he said that some start
far back and it takes some time to get
TO the river but "we're going there
after a while" II the city realizes its
opportunities it will reach out in way
that would astonish our fathers and
will crafty their sons. He believed in
local pride and he declared that every
Wimingtonian not only has reason foi
it, but every one should be sufficiently
interested 10 forget self little while
and to lose self in the commonweal.
Tho speaker referred t. his surprise
lat the number of manufacturing inter.
ests here and yet he firmly believed
that these were only drop before the
shower Of opportunities before the city.
He congratulated the builders ON theii
organization, wherein views are ex
changed and enterprise stimulated. il
is combination in no unholy sense
but combination for tho good Of al
the people. He closed by bidding then
godspeed, declaring that he gloried il
their achievements and was contiden
Of a better future for Wilmington.
Mayor Jefferis, in a short speech sait
that harmony should exist between thu
city officials and such an influentia
body as this. 1t was his fervent hop
that the present agitation for road t
the river might result not only in 1
road but in streets as we'll. Let u
extend the city to the river" he said
land we will have unlimited area 70
shipyards and other kinds OF factories
The first plant established there will
open an era OF prosperity."
Edgar NJ. Hopes, in the course Of
speech, said that be believed in tba
broader future for Wilmington. Oppor
tunitiea for business should he created
Wilmington has but to lay the founda
tion and throw out the net and in fe'
years time business will grow up to IL
Ho hoped in the next 10 years to fin
Wilmington at the head and front wit
population Of over 100, 600.
In beginning a brief speech, Wiliar
Lawton, president of the Board G
Trade and also of the Wilmington In
dustrial and Improvement Co., sal
that this was tho first square meal h
had eaten since he slaughtered tina
deer in North Carolina. Through tn
efforts of the industrial company, b
