DUPONTS FAVOR
ONE BUILDING.
AlSO Approve City'S Ideas Of
Widening Tenth and
Eleventh Streets
WOULD HAVE OFFICIALS
CONSULT ON THE SUBJECT

The request Of the Directors Of the
Street and Sewer Department for 20
feet Of ground on the Tenth and Elev-
enth street sides OF the Court House
that the streets may be widened to the
same width as the same streets on the
west side OF Market, was received by
the Levy Court this morning and was
referred TO the court as a committee
of tho whole
Following the reading Of the letter
the court heard a second letter from
Pierre S. dupont, president of the du-
Pont Building Corporation, read
Mr.. dupont says the widening OF
the streets would be a wise provision
and is especially appropriate at this
time. due to the likelihood Of some ac-
ton being taken soon in regard to the
erection of a new building on the
property. Continuing Mr.. DUPONT said:
Our interest in this proposition is
two-fOld. First, For the reason that we
are large and perhaps soon will be the
largest taxpayers both in the city and
county. and
Second. Because. being extensively
interested in property in this section
Of the city. we naturally are very
deeply interested in its developments.
as We contemplate and will doubtless
spend n large amount OF money in
excess of what has already been in
vested.
"In reference to the matter Of the
erection Of another building in our
opinion il would in the long run be
much more economical for the city
and county governments to be housed
in joint building, which incidental
ly, would be massive enough to be
made very attractive and a credit to
both the count of New Castle and the
city Of Wilmington.
This letter is written for the rea-
son that in making decisions of this
kind, you undoubtedly are seeking
such honest suggestions and opinions
as you may be able to obtain from
the citizens. whose interests you nat
urally have always before you.
Whenever We can be of assistance
to the Levy Court or the city officials
in any matters Of public welfare, we
shall be pleased to have them call
upon us"

MAY MOVE PLUG
TO GET LIGHT POLE

Because the fire plug in front Of the
First National Bank is so close to the
electric light standard to be erected
by the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company and could not be
used if the standard were placed there,

the Directors of the Street and Sewer
Department held a conference on the
subject this aftrrnoon. The plug is on
the high pressure main and the pole
could not be placed further along the
street owing to the sewer plate there

will ask Chief Kienlc Of the Water De.
partment, if the plug can be removed
The poles used for the illumination
are to be placed opposite one another
