mission TO the Legislature In special
session early this year, but the re-
port is far from complete and may
not be ready before the biennial ses-
sion in January of next year.
One Of the subjects that might be
considered II a special session
should be called is said to be an
amendment to the law creating boule-
ward corporations that would enable
any such corporation to build two
'boulevards through a county. 1t was
reported sometime ago that, because
of the disappointment over the vest
'ern route through Sussex county not
being selected for the dupont bouIe-
ward General DUPONT was consider
ing the construction Of boulevard
down the western side of the county
as well. but under the law could not
build a road from Georgetown to
Selbyville and a road down the west
ern route through BridgeviIle and
1eaTord. 1t would be necessary to
lamend the law to permit of the two
roads being built.

SIeef Storm Still Incases
The City in Icy Mantle

The sleet is preserving its tricSi-
ness, and but little change for the
better can be noted in its condition.
The streets are like glass, save where
ashes and sand are flung. and such
fragments of the city's population as
find it necessary to navigate these
highways Of desolation experience the
same uncanny sensations that gripped
the native Of the Fiji Islands. when
that hot-blooded idolater for the first
time in his existence. stood fiat-footed
in the path Of Christian virtue.
Everybody creeps along like a
steamship with but one boiler going.
One of the keenest sufferers is the
horse, who is aggravated by a gnaw-
ing tension that springs from lack Of
confidence in himself and in the driver
behind him Unless the animal has
chains on his hoofs he is liable to
have his leg thrown into a chastity
angle and broken off short
The Pennsylvania railroad is run
