Richard ]. Mention has prepared an
elaborate design. copy OF which he
has submitted to Geue'al T. Coleman
DUPONT, fol a route for the T. Cole
man dupont road through Whining
ton. Mr.. Mention has given consider
able time and attention TO the pro-
iect. and thinks he has a most FEAST
BILE solution Of the problem of taxi
ing the boulevard directly through
Wilmington at very little expense,
compared with what Il would cost
to take Il through any other section.
Mr.. Mentions survey would take the
boulevard along Grant avenue. Wood
lawn avenue and through Rockford
Park. IL is his idea to have the bou-
levard approach the city just west of
Richardson Park and Ashley and
through the woodland southwest of
the city, which Is now under reserva-
tion for park purposes.
The route then would swing cast
OF Union street. and would pass
through the colored cemetery along
Union street above Front until Il
reached Grant avenue. The road
would pass along Grant avenue C
Ninth street, then veer slightly r
the west into Woodlawn avenue, fol
low It until Rockford Park was reach
ed just north Of Delaware avenue
pass through the park, with a bridge
over the Brandywine that would take
the boulevard to point on the nortt
side of the Brandywine between th'
estate of Alfred /. DUPONT and th'
powder plant.
Mr.. Mention claims that this rout'
is most practicable. In that the sec
ton through which It passes affords
wide streets and unimproved parl
lands through which the right o
way could be obtained at comparative
~ little cost.

FEASIBLE BOULEVARD ROUTE
Drawing Depicts DUPONT Road Entering City al
Grant Avenue Skirfing Parks and Passing
North TO RockIand---Rghf of Way
Easily AhainabIe.

South OF the city and through the
city proper TO Lancaster avenue a
right of way could be obtained at a
reasonable figure. Mr.. Mention points
out as It is would be through unim-
proved land. Then It would pass
through the colored cemetery along
Union street north Of Lancaster ave-
nue.. which the owners are willing to
part with. and It would lead into
Grant avenue. which is 100 feet wide
from curb 10 curb up to Seventh
street From that point northward TO
Rockford Park a wide right of way
could be- had. as there is little in
the way Of costly improvements that
would be encountered IL is bellev-
ed n right of way could be obtained
without trouble across Rockford Park.
and II would be necessary TO build a
bridge TO span the Brandywine.
Dupont Road surveyors last week
we're working about Rockland and
running lines toward the Concord
turnpike, which indicates that Gen
eral DUPONT may be gathering fur
ther data about the route MIR. Men
ton has suggested, which is set forth
elaborately on blue print maps that
also show suggested improvements
for the river front.
Mr.. Mention points out that such a
route along the western edge OF Will
mington would bring a great devel~
opment of the city In that section. and
at the same time would afford an
egress into the centre OF the city by
all OF the principal avenues and
streets running east and west
