THE EVENING JOURNAL. on April last printed
an editorial praisng the Board OF Trade Of this city
for having reafrmed previous declaration in favor
OF the speedy construction of the boulevard In that
editorial IT was said:
"The action OF tho Board Of Trade is commendable
II represents the sentiment of this wide-awake and
progressive community. There are few dlsnterested
persons in Wilmington who do not realize what a
great 6eneht The construction and the operation Of
the boulevard viii be 10 all the business interests in
our State. The action Of Board OF Trade shouid
be emulated by all civic organizations in this city
ware"
That suggestion in favor Of widespread action has
borne fruit. Three developments yesterday revealed
that Delawareans aroused fully to the fact that
their interests menaced by organized conspraors
who arc doing their utmost to strange the boulevard
project by campaign of misrepresentation One
development was that the Levy Corr. of New Castle
county adopted resolutions IN which it decla un-
equiyocaly that public demands that tho great
S2,OOO00O roadway which General T. Coleman dupont
is willing to give TO the people be built BY unanimous
vote that also expressed its confidence i'm tho
build the road and turn it the State for public
That was followed by meeting Of the governors OF
the Board Of Trade of this city. BY them the work
of the boulevard obstructonsts was denounced and
resolutions adopted in favor of the great
thoroughfare in General du Pout against
those who question his motives and seek to deame and
discredt him. The third important development was
that conference Of representatives of Boards of Trade
in this State was held last night in this city. At II
there further declarations i'm favor OF the houle
ward and it's protector which will be TO und in another
column of our paper and which should be read b,
