BRIDGE TROUBLES
Structure Across Appoqulnimink River
nnes Not Confnrm 70 Contract

Structure Across App0quinimink River
Does Not Conform to Contract
Through slight mistake made by an
engineer in surveying, the county may
be caused the loss of considerable sum
of money unless the Levy Court succeeds
in making the contractor employed by
them pay for what was virtually his
neglect. Sometime ago when the govern
ment decided to etraighten out bend
in the ;Appoquinimink River at Fenni-
more's Bridge, two miles below Odessa,
it notified the Levy Court that they
would have to construct another bridge,
as the county bridge now used crosses
the stream at the point where the river
makes the bend.
Surveys were made for the structure
and the bridge built. Then the govern
ment surveyors who were mapping out
the stream for dredging found that the
| piers or tenders to the bridges were not
in accordance with the lines laid down
by the government. The tenders were
diagonally across the bed of the river
instead Of being straight up and down,
according to the lines Of the cut.
They notified the Levy Court that the
piers would. have to be changed. Com
missioners Brown and Salmon on Monday
held conference with Major G. A. F.
Flagler, United States engineer, who has
supervision over this river, regarding the
proposed changes. It was then decided
that the alterations would have to be
made. Tuesday afternoon the Levy
Court adopted resolution to the effect
that the contractor who put down the
tenders will have to repair his mistake.
The piling will have to be taken up,
ends of the crihbing moved around and
| the piling redriven SO they will be in a
line with the surveys made by the gov
ernment. A present boat cannot get
| up the river because the piling shuts of
the channel on both sides. The court
| intends to make; the contractor pay for
the work, as it was principally through
his mistake that the changes will have
to be made.

BUILD trolley LINE
j. W. Endeaa Asked Levy Court For
Permission to Construct Road Here

Permission to Construct Road Here
When J. w. Endean, representing the
Smyrna, Kent County and Delaware Bay
Traction Company, appeared before the
Levy Court Tuesday morning to ask
for q franchise TO build trolley road
along the state road from Delaware City
to Duck Greek bridge, that body voiced
its objection to the roads Of the county
being used by private trolley companies,
and the matter was held up for advise
ment.
In making the position OF the company
clear, Mr.. Endean said he was willing
to guarantee to maintain 40-foot drive
way on the road by purchasing enough
private property along the side to admit
OF that width. In answering the question
why the road did not buy its way straight
through private property, Mr.. Endean
explained that il was necessary for the
tracks to follow the roads on account
Of the sources OF profit that were thus
acquired. He said the road would build
all its culverts aud bridges and would
keep in condition ten feet of the road and
was willing for the county to insert clauses
in its franchise providing for the starting
and finishing of the work.
Another objection to the granting Of
the franchise at this time was the fact
that the company has thus far failed TO
obtain a charter from the state for the
building Of the road. Mr.. Endean ex-
planned this by saying that she company
would not deposit $S3, 900 with the state
until the, company was satisfied that it
could get the desired franchise from New
Castle County for building the line.
There was additional objection because
the company had failed to make survey
of that part of the state road it desires
to use as asked for in previous resolution
by the court, and all the objections
operated against the granting of the franz
chise. The subject was continued, how
ever, in the hands of the committee on
Wilmington hundred bridges.

ercised IN making selections under the
new than under the old plan. especially
as no provision is made for reformation
Of the elective system" That objec-
ton is one of the moot points The
Herald believes that when three men
are to be invested with large response
bilities and the citizens know it, there
win be more careful scrutiny, not only
OF nominations but OF elections. 1t is
much easier for an incompetent to be
chosen as justice of the peace than to
secure election as district judge; and
the president of the United States is
chosen with a good deal more care
than the average congressman. One OF
the chief defects Of Salt Lakes city
system is the fact that councilmer are
chosen by little cliques in a small dis
trict, and each seeks to promote the in
terests Of his own district and friends
rather than the welfare of the whole
CITY.
Finally. three men exposed to public
scrutiny in nominations. elections and
public office are much more easily held
for their actions than are
sixteen OF more Of whom fifteen are
chosen in small. obscure conventions.
elected by only portion OF the city
and held accountable only by the con-
stituents OF their own wards. The ideal
government is unattainable, the pres
ent political conditions in Salt Lake do
not make for good public service; but
the experience Of past years justifies the
belief that a simpler form of business
mana cement, a greater responsibility
for few men and a correspondingly
greater accountability would improve
conditions UNNECESSARILY.
Anyway, no system could produce
worse results than we have been get
ting; and Galveston's experience. as
well as the experience of every bust
ness corporation, indicates a promise of
Improvement under the proposed
change.

Says the Chicago Record-Herald:
In Utah dental students are permitted
to practice on eonvicts in the peniten-
tiarv. Doesn't this come under the
head of inhuman torture?" We are con-
strained to believe that II doesn't in
view of the fact that students are not

The governors recommendation to that
effect has not become law.

RUSHING TIE SENATE.

Another peculiar phase of the Japan
ese disturbance in California was in
/ jected into the proceedings on Thurs
day, when an attempt was made in Il {
senate to rush through the conference
report on the immigration bill without
time for debate Of any kind or even
for hasty consideration. Not knowing
the details of the agreement which is
supposed to represent the presidents
and mikado's wishes, the leaders of the
Democratic senators blocked the game
and finally secured pOstpOnement until
they could at least read and digest the
report.
Why there should be such precipitate
haste on a matter of national import
ance has not been explained; but il is
easy to infer that the object was to
forestall opposition that might come
if the real significance of the agree
ment were known. Probably no one
subject is of greater Importance than
the question of immigration, its re
strictior and supervision. In spite of
the law against Importation Of contract
labor the law has been annulled in
the south by an executive construction
of the law which permits importation
by state labor commissioners. Now
another opportunity presents itself to
consider the subject deliberately in all
its variations. and the Republicans of
the senate attempt to jam an agree
m.snt through of which no one but the
coneferees knows anything. Naturally.
the Democrats are suspicious and they
are entirely right to insist on full and
open discussion.
From the inception of the controver-
sly all the presidents of orderly consti-
tutioual proceeding have been ignored
and violated The president started It
with a threat to use all the forces of
the government, naval, military and
civil. to coerce California into his way
Of thinking. He had no more right
10 make such q threat or carry it into
effect than he would have to name a
school board for San Francisco.
When he got the San Franciscans to
Washington, the japanese ambassador
was made q party to the conferences
another startling departure, since a
foreigner has no direct business in any
matter of legislation, administration or
judicial construction involving the gov
eminent of this country. His sole duty
is to transmit through the state depart
ment the views of his ruler and TO re-
ceive through the same source infor-
nation as to what this country has
done or will do.
Imagine a British premier inviting a
Turkish ambassador 10 a conference on
a subject of local government in Eng
land: Or imagine any other American
president marking out such a course
as Roosevelt has followed in this case.
IF Grover Cleveland had done 1t in his
day the senate would have moved to
him:
An amicabIe settlement OF the ques-
ton is greatly to be desired. particu- |
larry II ie attains the exclusion of Jap
anese coolies from this country. But
even that wished-for end might be Sc
cured at too great cost if ii involved /
surrender of all the rights of state
IN control its own affairs. and the alb |,
sication by the senate of its right and
sutv to legislate intelIigently and de-
fberately without interference from
