England, the father had never received

NEW AND MODERN HOTEL TO
Be SECURED FOR SMYRNA
SPRUANCE PROPERTY PURCHAS-
ED FOR THIS PURPOSE
Geo. w. Turner and John P. Colds
borough Deal for Hotel and Will
Move Portion of Smyrna House

Despite the gloom and forebodings
that Smyrna was to have but one
hotel when the Smyrna House was
torn down to make room for the
Federal Building, the announce
ment was made public Friday that
new and modern hotel. better than
Smyrna has ever possessed, was to
be built. John P. Gcldsborough,
former proprietor of the Delaware
House. and George W. Turner,
Smyrna's we'll known meat mer-
chant, have purchased of James w.
Spruance his three story brick prop
erty on Commerce street. long
known as the Dr.. Curtis o. Swinnev
Home, "snd will, as soon as possible
begin remodeling it into a hotel.
The consideration was SO, 1000. The
purchase of this property was con-
tingent upon deal made by Mr..
Turner with the Committee of
Fifteen" on the Federal Building
site, that ne was to accept all the
buildings now of the Smyrna House
and remove them. Mr.. Turner will
move the two-story frame building
of the Smyrna House and splice it
up to the "Spruance property" in
such way as to equip the new hotel
with some 25 rooms. Messrs. Colds
borough and Turner will completely
change the interior of the Spruance
property" converting the down
stairs into "parlors" and a COM
modious exchange" and the sec
ond and third floors into sleeping
apartments. While not definitely
settled, they propose to have run
ming hot and cold water into every
room and plenty of baths and sani-
tary conveniences. The heatin
plant of the Smyrna House will be
moved to the new hotel. Mr.. Turn
er assumes the whole matter of
clearing the site of the Smyrna
House for the Committee of Fiji
teen" and expects to begin work
March the first. The announcement
that Smyrna was to still continue
to have two hotels as well as a
Federal Building is pleasing to
many and is looked upon as a pro-
gressive step.

BOULEVARD LAWS NEEDED
Legislature May be Called in Extra
Session to Consider Some Amend
ments so Dupont Can Proceed

SGSSiOU 10 OOnSlU6F SOme Amend
ments so Dupont Can Proceed
It is announced that T. C. du-
Pont, who has expressed his in
tention of building a State boule-
ward, will probably ask Governor
Peunewill to convene the General
Assembly in special session next
month. to consider amendments he
desires to the law. Before the
formal request is made of the gov
ernor, it is understood poll of the
Legislators will be taken and the
request for a call will depend upon
the aquiescence of two-thirds of the
members. Probably the most sig
niicant of the proposed amendments
will, if adopted, make it possible
for the commissioners of condemna-
tion, where condemnation proceed
ings are necessary to acquire the
land, to take into consideration
their estimate of benefit to land
through which the road will pass,
as an Offset to the amount of dam
age for the land actually used by the
road. Another will specify where
the boulevard will cross the Chesa-
peake and Delaware canal, the own
er of which is required, under it's
charter. to build and maintain
bridges where they are required by
the State, hence the apparent ne
cessity for State designation of the
location of the bridge. One of the
proposed amendments will make it
possible to construct branch of the
road from a point near Dover to
Delmar, thus making it possible to
reach both the east and west sides.
