WANTS CONVENTION
OF STATE TOWNS
important Movement Started
Which Will Be of Benefit
to Entire State
NEEDS OF EVERY
TOWN LEARNED

Councilman d. w. Lynch, of the Third
ward, is the father Of a movement to hold
a convention in this State before January
! OF delegates representing all the large
towns in Delaware, for the purpose OF dis
cussing the needs of different communi-
ties throughout the state. and bringing
their needs to the attention of the next
General Assembly.
Mr.. Lynch brought the matter to the at
tention of City Council last night, and
upon his motion, Clerk Of Council Thomas
S. Lewis was instructed to send to each
Of the larger towns copy Of the report
OF the business done at the Convention Of
American Municipalities, recently held at
Chicago. which the Wilmington council
men attended, also inclosing letter
bringing to the attention of the various
town councils the matter Of State con-
ventlon.
The move is considered a good one, as
by holding a State convention the needs
of every town could be learned, and when
the Legislature convenes, every commu-
nifty would receive proper legislation.
Further than this, such a convention
would materially aid in the progress OF
Delaware. Wilmington. the metropolis
would then become known as the city
TO residents down the state. and not
Philadelphia. Every other town would
also receive its share Of attention. and IN
the end the people from one end of the
State to the other will be satisfied.
