Assuming this is the character of the industries
with which the Board Of Trade deals, what should
be the attitude of citizens generally towards the
new enterprises7 Do they want Wilmington to
grow and prosper to occupy the place in the busi-
ness and commercial world to which nature has
entitled her? Unfortunately there is a small class
OF people here as there is in every other com
munity, who do nothing for the city themselves,
who do not join in the efforts Of the Board of
Trade to promote the advancement Of the city,
but who are ever ready to take advantage Of any
enterprise secured through the efforts Of others,
if that enterprise will put something into their
own pockets.
THE JOURNAL has been informed that the
board has in some instances been baked by local
people who refuse to give even a rental price, let
alone purchase price upon their property. These
people are evidently Indifferent to the welfare of
themselves or Of the city, and it is not encourag-
ing to those who are working SO hard for the adj
yancement of the city to be confronted by such =
spirit as has been displayed in some instances 1t
is the same spirit that mangled efforts to bring
the Otto Gas Works Company here Unless rea-
sonable, narrow prejudces, sehshness old
"fogyism," held in abeyance, the struggle for
the advancement OF Wilmington will lag.
Indeed, some observers of this city have de
clared that Wilmington has grown in spite Of

8. All at salary of $3.50 per year.
That the board viii allow any school
yard to be used as a public playground
now seems a remote possibility. The
experiment was tried at school No. Z.
which had an open yard, and it was
a fiat failure. The public used it at
hours, and made it almost impossible
for the children at the school to use
the outbuildings. The teachers and
pupils were also much annoyed and
now there is a fence around the school.

MUNICIPAL PAVING PLANT.

IT He JOURNAL wishes the plan for the es-
Enlistment Of a paving plant success
AS a general proposition this paper has favored
municipal ownership Of public utilities which is
undoubtedly the proper course to be pursued in
municipal government, provided municipal owner
ship is conducted on the broad lines Of the welfare
Of the people and provided the people take suffi
cient interest in their public affairs to hold in
check machine politicians and grafters.
When, however, municipal ownership becomes
a scheme to build up party machine it is thor
oughy bad. We do not believe that it is the in4
tention Of the Street and Sewer Department to
put the expense of a municipal paving plant upon
the city with the sole idea OF politics and of bene-
fitting political party If this be the intention it
had better be abandoned at once.
We had doubts and still have them about the
municipal paving plant being success. 1t sounds
well on paper and it is figured out that the city
will save great deal by manufacturing its own
paving. But this is based on the assumption that
the plant shall be run in businesslike manner by
experienced persons. The municipal paving plant
should not be made dumping place for fellows
who are after political job or who think the
party in power should take care Of them. A mu-
nicipal government should be run as a strictly
business enterprise and not as a political play
thing.
The Street and Sewer Directors in their new
enterprise will have the watchful eyes of the peo-
pie upon them. There are many things that we
believe the department could have done better
than it has done. 1t has been the subject of fre-
quent criticism, but now the department. has the
opportunity to make good" in its new project l.
is we'll to remember that if this plant should be
a failure because of unbusinessliSe methods ex-
travagance, or for any other reason, the dominant
party will be held responsible. On the other
hand, should it turn out that the directors know
what they are about and the making Of our own
paving shall prove saving to the city, the party
in power will receive great credit and the city will
have taken a step forward in the path of enight-
enment that leads to municipal ownership Of pub.
lie utilities
The opposition TO the municipal paving plant,
which has been heard in many quarters is due
to a lack of confidence that the plant, under pres
ent conditions will be conducted in a businessillc
manner. 1t will be easy for the Street and Sewer
Directors to show that the fears and lack of conf
dence were absolutely unfounded. No one would
rejoice more than would THE JOURNAL should
the municipal paving plant prove profitable AMI
paying investment for the city No attention is
TO be paid to partisan criticisms OF organs that
oppose the whole idea of municipal ownership the
reason for such opposition being that municipal
ownership takes from private individuals chances
TO prey upon the community for excessive profits.

HELP FROM HOME.

nj 1ED Of cooperation on the part of citizens
in bringing new industries to this city, as
was stated in THE JOURNAL Saturday, has
brought letter of commentator. And indeed
this part of the efforts for new industries is most
important 1t is reasonably to be presumed that
when the Board OF -rade investigates proposed
new comers with enterprises they want to locate
here that the board finds out whether the con-
Germs are worthy and reputable. All towns meet
with promoters of various kinds who want some
thing for nothing, who looking for free sites
and financial assistance Often when such con-
Germs do locate in city, because Of incompetence
in their management or for other reasons. thev
fail. Such concerns would fail anywhere The
Board of Trade does not negotiate with such in
dustries, but the other hand the factories that
want TO locate here are worthy in every respect.
There are always responsible business men look
ing Tor new home that can supply the best Of
advantages for the conduct of their industries.
