BOULEVARD CASE MAY

The law under which Gen. T. Coleman

entire length of Delaware was declared
to be valid by the state supreme court.
which dismissed a writ of prohibition OBJ
tanned by certain taxpayers who had
sought to prevent the building of the
road and had raised the question of the
constitutionality of the act. The entire
court sat in the case, with the exception
of Associate Judge Conrad. Before enter
ing the courtroom the judges conferred
in their parlors for more than half an
hour. When the court assembled Chan
cellor Curtis announced that Chief JUS
tice Pennewill would read the decision,
all five judges having concurred in the
opinion as to the point of validity. There
was dissension, however. on the part
OF the judges as to the acceptance of the
journal entry doctrines and the enrolled
entry doctrines of the bill on it's passage
through the legislature. Chief Justice
Pennewill held that it was necessary for
full entries to be on the journals of the
houses to make bill valid. Judges Wool
sey and Boyce took a different view from
the chief justice and Chancellor Curtis
withheld his decision as to the choice of
the two doctrines, saying he would at
some future date give his opinion on that
point. AT the conclusion of the reading
of the opinion, which occupied more than
one hour, the chancellor ANNOUNCED that
the petitioners should pay the costs in the
case. Henry Ridgely. counsel for one Pc
t1t1Oner, asked that an exception be noted
to the opinion of the court. which was
granted. 1t is understood that the case
may be taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States for fin>l decision.

TO HAVE MODEL CITY.
Standard Oil Attains Object for I'm
provement of Wood River. Ill,

WOOD RIVER, ILL.,. August 1O.-After
three years of planning, the Standard
Oil Company. which owns the refinery at
Wood River, ILL.,. is ready to realize it's
dream of a model city for employees. Aft
er the refinery was In operation the men
who operated it began to settle near the
works, and the village of Wood River
was founded. But another settlement
beat the Standard Oil village to the name,
and it was necessary for it to be known
as East Wood River, until it absorbed
the other town. Then a fine school build
ing and model homes were erected. Next
plans were made for electric lighting. S.
A. Beach, the village president, has an
nounced that an agreement had been
reached with the DIRECTORS. and that the
assessment roll for sewers and a water
system will be confirmed in a few days.
The contracts will be let at once. and
both systems will be in operation by
Christmas. This ends a struggle of three
years. which has been made by the
Standard Oil Company to make it's town
habitabie.

FREEPORT IMPROVEMENTS.
Long Island Town Has Ambitious
Program for Civic Betterment.

Two important civic enterprises are be-
ing contemplated by the people of Free
port. L. I. One is the identifying of the
aqueduct, or Olive Boulevard, which runs
through the village near the railroad
track. The aqueduct is the widest road
in the village and at the same time the
only eyesore. 1t is barren, and, like a
bald spot, is surrounded by other streets
and roads beautified by tail trees and
lined with attractive homes. The other
enterprise is the erection of a municipal
building, directly off the aqueduct at the
junction of Grove street, Railroad avenue
and the Island Boulevard, where it can
be made the nucleus of real civic cen
ter for the village. With the erection Of
the municipal building. or with the ad-
vancement of plans for it. the improving
of the aqueduct is certain. Committees
are being appointed to take over the con-
sideration of the building project and
in the near future committees will be ap-
pointed to make provisions for the laying
out of the aqueduct. Both enterprises will
take time and trouble. but the people of
Freeport are determined in this latest
civic move-and it will succeed.

TOWNS SHARE COST:
Geneseo and York, N. Y, Have Joint
Financing Plan for Bridge Repair.

Repairs costing $1,000 are to be made
upon the bridge spanning the Genesee river
between the towns Of Geneseo and York.
N. Y. The repairs became necessary by
the destruction caused by the spring
floods. The town boards Of the two
towns held joint meeting at the river.
and, after consultation with an engineer,
decided that instead of rebuilding the
bridge the desired result could be accom-
plished by erecting new pier at the west
end and replacing that portion of the
apronway which was taken out by the
undermining of the props at flood time
The estimated cost for Geneseo's share
in the work was $4,000. while York will
pay $6sCO. The towns each held a spe-
ciai meeting for vote on the matter by
the taxpayers. In Geneseo twenty-five
votes were cast. all but one of them
being in favor of the proposition, and in
York thirteen votes were cast, ten of

| What is known as hobby is the adop-
ton of some study or avocation as a
recreation that is foreign to one. Some
men find no end of delight. entertainment
and mental profit In collecting butterflies.
! II they pursue the butterflies themselves.
/, they probably get the exercise i'm con-
junction with the other pursuit.
Other men put their money into farms
and raise fancy stock-and while they
may make no money through feeding
their hobby. they gain considerable and
actual activity, and a fair interest in
life's affairs.
ANYTHING that one does not understand
is interesting if one will study it. Physi-
cal regeneration is interesting. and is by
far the most profitable hobby one could
well ADOPT The reason physical fitness
should be converted into hobby is be-
cause it presents so many angles and
qualifications that no person is held down
to the performance of just one thing.
Swimming. rowing, boxing, wrestling.
horseback riding, base ball. golf. ten
mis-. skating and the multitude of
things that may be done inside gym

must appeal to practically every tenn
permanent, because they were mace pos
sires of those various temperaments that
built them up.
These different physical games have
been in the making for SO many thou
sand years that nobody knows the date
Of their beginning. They have been varied
and revised so that perhaps their origl-
majors would not recognize them. Every
one of these sports has been the out
growth of special desires of thousands
of millions of different persons for physi-
cal fitness.
No man then can say that he is linn
tied in taking to the matter OF physical
|, regeneration, because he will find after
he gets started that he can become al
most a crank on that one form OF recrea-
ton. Just as thousands OF men have
ridiculed golf only to fall victims to its
wiles a little later On-so will all men
find i'm the field of sport something that
they can make hobby of.
