GOOD WORK OF Finn,
PARADEE AND KEENAN,

DOVER, Feb. 2S-In the House yes
terday afternoon the Democratic bill
which permits the raising OF a S5OO,OOo
fund for the Improvement OF New Cas-
tie county highway ran against an
unexpected snag, after It's final passage
seemed certain.
Senator Rose. Democrat, offered the
bin. which was rairoaded through the
Senate. it being the intention OF the
schemers to also force it through the
Huose yesterday afternoon. But this
pan miscarried. for In the upper
House its passage was blocked by the
opposition OF Representative Finn,
Republican chairman Of the commit
tee on public highways. Mr.. Finn
said he saw no necessity for haste,
land Representative Paradee and
Keenan, also urged that there be no
violation OF the legislative speed laws,
but that the bill go over until Monday.
When this opposition to rapid methods
developed some strength those schem-
ers who had been unduly active IN
booming the half-million debt for their
own political purposes, without an op-
portunity FOR public advocacy or pro-
test. withdrew 40 the background, and
no further action was taken during the
afternoon.
