chairman. will meet with those parties
with whom the committee has been in

boped that the new plants will shortly

was decided to have the secretary pre-
pare and forward a letter to Senator
Alice. asking that he use his influence to
obtain definite harbor lines for the city
and to request another hearing with the
War Department in the matter. A letter
was read before the department stating
that the lines requested as mapped out
could not be granted at the present time.
A special committee consisting OF
Messrs. Bryson Cavenaugh and Lamb
son. was instructed to meet with the
Trustees of the Market Square and Green
and the Trustees OF the Commons, in
relation to securing funds for the purpose
of meeting the requests OF the persons
who desire to locate here, and Tor the
purchase of sites such as may be selected.

Of the Commons, made a statement show
ing the financial condition OF that body and
showing that but little was to be had at
present, on account OF paying the bonus
Ia the Baldt and Brylgon steel companies.
Mr. Thompson claimed that business
men and property holders of the city
might assist in the matter, and said that
the new industries now here had adj
vsnced the price of property at least 20
per cent, as is shown by the prices Of
property Of today over those Of two or
three years ago.
Mr.. Deemer suggested that the leases of
land from the Trustees Of the Commons
might be obtained for term OF 500 years
at a nominal rental and this was stated
TO be the case wherever parties desired
land suitable for their business.
Capt. Holcomb presented the follow
ing resolution, which appeared to make
a favorable impression and which was at
once indorsed and Secretary Ferris di-
rected to have copies prepared and for
warded to the parties named:
Whereas, From the public press, it is
learned that the construction OF a new
battleship is to be ordered by Congress;
therefore, be it
Resolved, by the New Castle Board Of
Trade, That the attention of the President
of the United States, the Secretary Of the
Navy and the Delaware delegation in
Congress be called TO the fact that the
name OF Delaware is at present unrepre-
sented in the navy of the nation, that
Delaware has been passed by, until almost
every other State has been honored in
naming battleships, that Delaware was
the first State to adopt the Constitution
OF ne United States; that we now urge
the proper authorities to select the name
Of Delaware for said ship, and be it further
Resolved, That copies of these reso-
lutions be forwarded to the President,
Secretary Of the Navy, Senator Alice and
Congressman Burton.
Capt Holcomb stated that it would be
well for the Board Of Trade to take the
up the matter with the City Council and
the Trustees of the Commons, and other
organizations TO draft like resolutions
that might be conducive of good.
On motion Of Mr.. Lambson, the harbor
committee will take up with Superin-
tendent Holiday of the Delaware rail-
road the matter of having the pier owned
