but 1t ought to buy it and own 1t and
control it at once. 1t should not now
cost any such large amount. 4
Gentlemen of the Wilmington Board ]
of Tradel Now is your great oppor-.
tunity to use your great influence and
power with the city Of Wilmingtone
and our official family to exercise itss
right and power and buy 100 feet wider
or 200 feet wide along the shore Of the,
Delaware river from the Christiana
to the city line near Edge Moor, all
once; then without question the gov-i
ernment would quickly complete the
bulkhead or dixie and as rapidly as,
possible fill in the 500 acres to be
made land and the city would own ie
all 1
Allow for boulevard and street beda
say 100 acres and reserve in desirable
locations, say another 100 acres foI
riverfrOnt wharyes, docks and termil
nails, a riverfront park after example,
Of the great value Battery Park is to
New York City, and public square,
parks and Fairgrounds.
There would yet be left some 30q
acres more or less OF the newly made
land filled in by the government and
at very little cost indeed to city
Suppose your Board had opportuni
ity on behalf Of the city to distribute
this very desirable 300 acres to new
and increasing industries at nominal
fixed price arranging for Immediate
improvements and location here with.
large force of new employees meaning
very large increase in population Of
the city with all its business needs
and demands and increased revenue to
the city, etc.
Is not this home need and opportu
nifty for development of Wilmington
entitled to all your energies and
powers at once.
Should not the opportunity and need
warrant and demand an Immediate
special meeting Of your board to adj
wise the port wardens to recommend
and the Council of Wilmington to buy
! this land at once?
In full faith in our city and in the
men OF our city allow me to subscribe
myself very respectfully your fellow
citizen of no mean city,
George Chandlerson.

Company and its associates and that such payments
should be included in the obligations which lead you
to stint yourselves and your families of the little
pleasures they desire? Or did you elect your Coun-
Gilman with view OF having them enter into deal
with these tax dodgers to build with your money
handsome system of streets and bouleyards through
that untaxed land Cherry Island marsh? If you
did and if you think these things right and just
to your Councilmen to jam the deal through
this week, the spectators plan they shall do.
IL is up to you taxpayers and voters Of the city
of Wilmington The who hope to reap hundreds
Of thousands of dollars, If not millions, through your
Councilmen putting this thing through for them
to be closer to certain Of your Councilmen than you
are. The interests of these spectators to out
weigh in the consideration OF certain OF your Council
men in the interests Of men, you small taxpayers,
who made them what they politically. II you
think that is deal TO you, write and tell them
so at once. Urge them by all to give to the
untaxed spectators all the ryerfront they want; all
the bouleyards they want; all the they want.

very interesting indeed and the reso-
lutions passed very fine and wise and
advisable without doubt, but isn't 1t
using too much Of your ammunition
shooting such far target, when all
resources and power and influence Of
all Wilmington should at present be
enlisted to protect Wilmington from
exploitation and loss and spoliation Of
probably its most valuable material
n-to-be-developed resource - the
Delaware Riverfront.
It would have been very interesting
and edifyiug to have read what was
learned at first hand and sight OF the
very valuable education and views of
Seattle on the question OF public own
ership OF waterfront wharyes, docks
and terminals, on which it is under
stood Seattle has voiced very strong
sentiment and very valuable advice
to other cities.
You, gentlemen, have been power
for good to Wilmington and have
given cur fair and loved city a credit
able and estimable reputation, Tut you
must stop, look listen to Wilmington's
present need and demand for conser-
vation of this most valuable and avail
able opportunity for the very large
building up o, Wilmington in every
way our city should be helped TO grow.
Your meetings and reports often
have voiced your experience OF de-
mand for some valuable inducement
or concession to new industries you
have tried to bring TO Wilmington.
Wilmington is now facing the loss
of the greatest opportunity the city
could ever have TO get for almost no
cost and have in city's ownership the
most valuable necessity and induce
ment, to offer to new or increasing in
dustries needing larger opportunity
for enlarged plant and Development

CHARTER ELECTION
EXPENSE $7150

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Dear Sir-Permit me to use space in
your most valuable paper to make a
few remarks concerning the charter
election.
Citizens the smoke that hung over
the battlefield for the past week is
about gone and all Of the dead have
been buried. and the wounded are be-
ing cared for. Now, / have noticed
during the past week a report circu-
lated around that the entire cost of
the election, and drafting and print
ing, including incidentals on the pro-
posed new>city charter was $4,000.
Now, ] cannot see how they make
1t cost that much. In the first place,
there were ten commissioners at $500
apiece, which made a total Of $4,000;
$500 for incidentals. also under
stand there were 105 election districts
at $50 apiece. including officers and
rent, which made total of $3.50.
Now put all other expenses incurred
Incidentally at $500 more and VI md
in summing up. the amount is not
much over S7,l50.
Now there were 5000 votes cast out
Of 1900, which makes a good show
ing at a special election. Citizens
there is one good thing about the ref
erendum proposition, and that is you
viii find no disorder at the polls if
they are conducted like they were on
the charter occasion.
And there is another feature attach
ed to the referendum proposition, and
that is it is not necessary to have
special elections such as you had on
the charter
The people can arrange 10 vote on
measures and candidates at the regu-
lar elections, and that practically elm
mates the additional expense incurred
\ for special elections. You will also
find the initiative. referendum and re-
call a very valuable asset toward max
ing a good municipal government. II
viii make it a staple government be-
cause the people as whole reserve
full powers.
Yours truly.

Boston is in the throes of street railway strike
and there already have been rotous demonstrations.
Massachusetts is having than its fair share Of
labor troubles this year Judging from the violence
that has marked the first day two OF the Boston
railway strike It will rival disorder textile strikes
in Lawrence and other industrial centres The railway
men have struck because the company has refused
TO recognize the union employ union men, other
grievances are that when men laid of because of
complaints made against them they receive no pay for
the time they lose, the hearing in their
exoneraton. They also demand better wages and in
sst it is unfair to compel them furnish $40 change
each and carry it with them ali trips. Seemingly
the men well organized and determined to go TO al
most extreme TO bring the railway company TO
terms Meantime it will be the duty Of the Massachu-
setts authorities TO that both the strikers aud the
srike-breakers keep strictly within the take tho
consequences.

PROTECT THE INMATES.

M UGH has been said about the prevalence OF tu-
Il bercuoss in the New Castle County workhouse
and the the disease is to all its inmates. Why
would IT not be well to make adequate tests Of all
criminals who are about be committed, ascertain
II they be afflicted with the disease and then make
provision for the immediate segregation and care of
those who are discovered to be infected? And why
would It not be we'll to apply the tests in all
other public quas-pubc institutions in our State?
In our opinion it would be much better to have
such tests made at tho time of admission than after
ward Unquestonably II such plan pursued
It would do much to prevent the spread Of the dis
ease in our public aud quasi-public institutions.
II must be recognized, Of course, that the criminal
aud the non-crimina victims Of tuberculosis be
for separately IL they be excluded from the
ular wards and cells Of institutions. There Is
nothing however 10 prevent the putting up of build
ings far removed from the institutions and tho
jails that the tubercular public charges need
in contact with those who not infected. Such
precautions already are taken in of institu-
tions. In others they wholly lacking else only
make-shfis have been applied. Something should be
DONE and done quickly. to prevent the admission OF
victim of the white plague into any Of the regular
departments Of any institution. The only way pre-
vent it and 10 the of the present
tenn. to have proper tests made OF criminals fol-
lowing conviction and sentence and subject appli-
cants for admission charitable institutions to smi-
lar tests In that way our institutions soon will be
rid Of the infection particularly it, from time to time
tests be made Of the inmates to weed out the few
that may develop following admission.
IL must be recognzed that it is right TO subject
healthy prisoners in prisons and inmates Of our
charitable institutions the danger of Infection
