At the request of Howard F.. Will

pointed special officers at the Opera
House at no expense TO the city.
Mr.. Batten offered a resolution pro-
viding for the assessment of prop
erty owners bordering on the sewer
on the Bell tract. The resolution be-
ing faulty, it was referred back to
the Solicitor.
Mr.. Peirce brought up the matter
of allowing the use of the motor
truck to the Fire or Police depart
ments at necessary times, when it
will not interfere with the work of
the Water department. Many of the
members thought this a dangerous
procedure, so no action was taken.
Mr.. Burkett said the Board of Ed
ucation had elected one of the officers
of the city, Mr. Redfie1d, as truant
officer, at salary, and queried as to
the legality of such course, as Mr.
Redfield already draws one sa. ry
from the city. On motion of Mr..
Burkett, the question was referred
to the Solicitor.

extent that it did not shine to adj

Commission have the lower limbs OF
the obstructing trees trimmed, and
in addition, of all other trees shading

Mr.. Justice asked if any action had
been taken against those persons sTill
owing for sidewalks, etc. Mr. Dat
ten said that but a few days ago, state
ments had been sent such persons to
the effect that unless settlement were
made by October 25th, they would
be proceeded against as delinquents.
Mr.. Batten moved and it was car
ried, that bids be asked for the ma
nure next year; and that bill be
sent Mr.. Duffield for the manure
used the past year, report on the first
item to be made at the next meeting.
Mr.. Peirce brought up the matter
of widening West street, asking what
progress had been made, but nothing
official had been done. Mr.. Batten
urged that special committee be
appointed to confer with Miss Jones,
the owner, and secure an amicabia
adjustment. Mr.. Peirce made the
motion, the committee to consist OF
three members, including the chair
President Curry appointed Messrs.
Wickersham and Heaton.

MR.. SOPER AIDS
BOULEVARD
Kent'S Apple King Sets Ex-

HOLDING UP PROJECT

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Dell Aug. S.-If all the
residents Of Delaware wero like Fran
els N. soper, Apple King and former
member Of the Legislature. in their
advocacy OF good roads. it is alto
gether likely that the dirt would have
been flying for several weeks in the
construction Of the boulevard which
General T. Coleman DUPONT is to give
to the State.
II will be recalled that Mr.. Soper
while a member Of the Legislature
introduced and had passed the Soper
good roads law for Kent county, al
though no roads have been built un-
der it as yet.
This did not dampen Mr.. Sopers
enthusiasm for good roads, however,
and when General DUPONT made his
offer TO construct a state-long boule-
ward and present IL to the state there
was no more arden champion OF the
proposition than Mr.. Soper. who was
in a delegation that urged the pas
sage of the law enabling the construct
ton of the road.
Some time ago Mr.. Soper announced
that General DUPONT could run the
boulevard through any part Of mis-
farms near FELTON, that he chose. and
without one cent of cost for the right
Of way. General DUPONT was graft.
fed at this public spirit shown by
Mr. Soper. and was not long in ex.
pressing his appreciation to Mr..
Soper.
The public spirit of Mr.. soper
stands In striking contrast with the
action of some other farm owners
down in the neighborhood of the
Soper farms, who have declined &c
allow a right of way through their
properties, and it is thit that is block
ing the surveyors and the beginning
Of actual construction work on th'
dupont highway in Kent county.
If all the land owners had mani
tested the same interest and emulateC
the example tf Mr. Sopher there e
not much doubt but that forces o.
road builders would be at work nov
putting down the boulevard, as Mr.
/ Soper has shown by his actions al
we'll as his words that he is a gooG
roads advocate.
General DUPONT will visit Dover to
morrow and also call on Mr.. Sopel
and confer with him about the boule
ward proposition and plan for the roaG
to pass through a section OF Mr.
Soper's farms, which cover more thar
| a thousand acres.
