n OLONEL ROBERT G. HOUSTON, editor of the Sus-
~ Republican, presumably just had passed
through hard chill and in the grin high evel
when be wrote this editorial:
THE EVENING JOURNAL is giving much space to
exploiting the Boulevard Column after column is de-
voted to interviews of certain citizens as to tn great
material benefits which will to those located
in close proximity thereto. Admitting that all
these material benefits will follow the completion of
the Boulevard, would suggest TO THE EVENING
JOURNAL that it also point out wherein this Boulevard
will improve the moral welfare of this State.

government, and is the great issue which contronts

We are surprised that such editorial should have
come from the pen Of Colonel Houston He usually
sticks close to his text and is disncned to wander
amlessly in his writings. Our inclination is to admit
frankly, however that for Wandering Willy editorial
the one printed above is gem. The chief difficulty we
experience in trying to decide whether he means 1t
seriously is attempting to work on on the commun-
ity joke covered with a veneer Of seriousness
We would remind Colonel Houston that even the
ardent advocate of the boulevard never has as
serted that 1t is missionary Fourth of July orator.

rp ro r,xP,yrRs ANp COUNCILMEN.


TN ANOTHER part OF this issue THE EVENING
i JOURNAL prints the proceedings of the public
hearing before City Council last night on the river
front proposition Of the Wilmington Terminal Com
many and It's associates The fact that the Council
chamber in City Hall was crowded and that the dis
cussion lasted almost until midnight shows the great
public interest there in the question The discus
sion was general Il covered almost every phase OF
the situation Looming above all other points raised
however was the one relative TO the ownership OF
the land under water lying between the low water
mark in Cherry Island marsh and the line OF
the proposed buikhead.
Herbert H. Ward representing the Wilmington Ter
ninal Company and associates made the assertion
that that land water is owned by himself and his
associates.
William f. Kurtz another lawyer Of prominence and
one who has no peounary interest in the waterfront
vas equally emphatic IN his declaration that It be-
longs to the state and hence to the people.
As the amount Of that land is 500 or more acres,
and as It extends along the entire waterfront the
question Of ownership is regarded as being exceed
iney important There already has been talk Of some
taxpayer beginning suit to stop further proceedings
In the negotiations pending settlement Of that ques-
ton OF ownership Whether that will be done is not
known II may be said however, that the public
hearing was useful IN bringing out and Illuminating
the facts involved. The question whether the title Of
the marsh owners TO the land under water shall be
in the courts is up the taxpayers The ques-
ton whether the city shall enter into the agreement
before City Council is clearly up to the Council
men.
