200-feet wide strip of land by condemna-

award damages.
These changes are not only undesir-

would enable the boulevard corporation
to override all objections against the
running of their road and its 20O-feet
wide strip through private property, and
compel the owner to be satisfied with
what he might be able to get thereafter.
And they would compel property owners

that was required. These amendments

THE BouLEvARD DEcIsIoN.

The decision of the Supreme Court of
the State in the dupont Boulevard case
will. we believe, meet the hearty ap-
probation of nine-tenths of the citizens
of Delaware. The decision upholds the
constitutiOnality of the boulevard cor
poratiOn law and opens the way for the
completion of the great contemplated
public highway from one end of the
State to the other. 1t is to be hoped
that the opponents of this splendid en-
terprise will now have the grace to
quietly yield to the law and to popular
sentiment, but this is not assured, for
there is already an intimation that the
case will be carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States, but on
what grounds is not stated 1t is not
clear to the J1ntechnica lay mind lust
how the powers of an outside judicial
tribual can be invoked in this case, and
the threat of an appeal is probably no
more than threat.
Nevertheless, the threat is annoying,
and what effect it will have upon Gen
eral duPOnt's course cannot be stated
at this time, as he is out of the city
and beyond communion. We feel
sure. however, that General DUPONT /
has the sympathy and the support of |
the people in his generous effort to
place Delaware in the front rank of /
hOsecOmmOnwealtes which are devoting
time and energy, and money to the i'm
of the public highways, and
they will hold him in grateful regard
for his wise foresight and broad and
endeavOrs in their behalf. -
