p. HolcJmb appeared before the meet
ing of the Trustees OF the Commons
last night in reference TO the DUPONT
boulevard. The survey touches the
Commons farms on the outskirts Of
the city. The Trustees of the New
Castle County Hospital had given per-
mission to run the road on each side
of the road. Mr.. Holcomb said what
is needed now is the good will of the
Trustees il case of condemnation
proceeding of lands held by them. The
proposed road route here would COW
er about one mile and the total
amount of land required would be
about sixteen acres. This is the near
est that the boulevard can be brought
to New Castle
Mr.. McGrory favored agreeing to a
nominal condemnation price for the
| land, provided the buildings are taken
I care of by the road owners. He moved
! that it be the sense of the Board TO
accept nominal condemnation price
| for the boulevard route and that the
Trustees do everything in their power
to assist the enterprise. The motion
was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Deemer said if the boulevard
came along the river road he would
give 200 feet of his farm TO the build
ers. He seconded the motion made
by Mr. McGrory.
The Boulevard Company will re-
place all buildings which will be re-
moved
Mr.. Jsnvier said he would like to
see the boulevard 90 along the state
road.
Treasurer McGrory reported that
| the tenants on the Commons farms
owe s4'37S in rents up to March next
All the tenants are desirous of re-
renting their farms.
Mr.. Deemer said he was in favor Of
notifying all tenants in arrears to va
cate the farms. If tenants do not or
will not pay the rent he thought they
should be ordered off and tenants
put on the farms who will pay"
