Navigation in the Christiana creek

the creek was covered with one inch
Of ice, and from King street to the
river there was so much broken ice in
the stream that it was dangerous for
small craft to venture out
Between Market street and Walnut
street no fewer than ten tugs were
tied up at wharves. Their bows were
covered with ice, brilliant under the
rays of the sun. 1t was the first time
this Winter that navigation had been
prevented. This afternoons tide broke
the ice, and unless the cold weather
continues the creek will be navigable

PASS THE HIGH SCHOOL BILL

While all Wilmingtonians did not
favor the erection OF such an expensive
Hieh school as is the one at Delaware
avenue and Monroe streets now that
il is up and in use, not more than a
handful of our people would have the
credit Of our city hurt by a refusal to
pay the contractors for their work
The Board Of Public Education
frankly avows, by its bill in the Legs
lature. that it exceeded its legal pow
ers in making such an extraordinary
expenditure, and that avowal is what
makes several conservative members
hesitate to vote for the High School
bill. fearing the effect upon other pub
lie departments which may feel in
clined to follow the example of the
board and look to the Legislature FOR
forgiveness. But even these consarva-
tive members admit that the High
School Is q handsome building, we'll
worth the money it cost, and that 30
IS needed as part and parcel af orr
educational system.
The people OF Wilmington have their
High School They are pleased with
its looks, proportions and appoint
ments, and, being honest, they want to
pay for it. The money will come out
Of their pockets, and they are not ask
ing for any aid from the county or
State Therefore there is no valid rea-
son why any member outside the VIII
mington delegation should not be
guided by the wishes of the Whining
ton members in the matter.
