SUPREME COURT TO HEAR
DUPONT BOULEVARD CASE
TEST CASE ON CONSTITUTION
ALITY COMES UP SATURDAY
Session Called BY Judges to be Held
at Dover-Effort Will Be Made to
Reach Decision Soon as Possible

At the call of Chancellor Curtis
the judges of this State comprising
the bench of the Supreme Court held
conference in the judges parlor
in the county court house of New
Castle County yesterday afternoon
and decided that special session of
the Supreme Court should be held
for the purpose of taking action
upon the petition for a writ of pro-
hibition relative to the building of
the dupont boulevard. Chancellor
Curtis issued call for the special
session to be held in Dover next
Saturday. While there will be no
argument heard upon the petition
next Saturday the defendants in the
case will have the opportunity to
file an answer to the petition. Ar
gument will not be heard upon the
writ of prohibition for about
month. The constitutionality of
the act by which the Boulevard
Corporation is constructing the
roadway is questioned and the case
before the Supreme Court will be a
test case for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether the Boulevard at
is constitutional. Much depends
upon the outcome of this cease, as
the Boulevard Corporation desires
that a special session of the General
Assembly be held to pass amend
ments, desired by them, to the orig
inal act. Until the question of
constitutionality is decided Governor
Pennewill will not call a special
session of the Legislature. The
case brought is that of j. H. Glen
daniel of Sussex county, in which a
decision as to whether the Boule-
ward Corporation has the right to
condemn land owned by Mr.. Glen
daniel for the purpose of the road.
way is asked. Counsel for Mr.. Glen.
daniel and for the Boulevard Cor.
poration will argue the case before
the Supreme Court.

War Begins in Wilmington on Un-
muzzled Dogs Running at Large

War Begins in Wilmington on Un-
muzzled Dogs Running at Large
Wilmington is setting a good ex-
ample to the rest of the State in the
matter of handling its dog question.
Yesterday they took up the enforce
ment of their muzzle law defective
from May to October u and their
dog catcher started out for dogs run
ming at large without muzzles. He
intends to enforce the law rigidly
and all such CANNES, regardless
of who their owner may be, will be
impounded, and if not redeemed
within a certain length of time, they
will be killed. They have to be
muzzled whether they are registered
or not, and register on the collar
will not protect them from the
pound if they be without a muzze.
The muzzIe law has been reponsible
for the loss of many dogs in Will
mington, owners refusing to pur-
chase muzzIes and thereby losing
their pets. The law has been
commended however, because of the
protection it affords during the hot
weather when the CANNES are more
prone to have the rabies. Smyrna
needs Just such a law and many
citizens would be glad to see the
Town Council of Smy rna emulating
Wilmington example and ridding
Smyrna of many worthless dogs.
