Bomb FROM WHITE CLAY CREEK.
Representative Rose does not repre-
sent any Of the Wilmington legisia-
tive districts, bat yesterday he gave
notice of an act which vitally affects
the interests Of the city Of Whining
ton. Il was to abolish the Board Of
Directors Of the Street and Sewer De-
2artment. Inquiry elicits the informa-
tion that the bill is really aimed at the
Wilmington City Railway Company.
It Is contended by the friends Of the
Rose bill that the Street and Sewer
| Department has fallen into the grasp
Of the railway company TO such a de-
gree that other railway companies
cannot obtain reasonable concessions
for the use Of the streets of the city.
The refusal of the department to per-
NIT the Wilmington and Brandywine
Springs Railway Company to use Sixth
street, and its refusal to compel the
old company to remove rails from GER
tain streets which 1t no longer uses
are cited as reasons for the abolition
Of the department
