DEMAND ACTION
ON PLANK ROAD
Citizens May Ask Grand Jury to
Act If F~reehOlders Do
Not.

Only their anxiety for immediate
results in the improvement of the
Plank road prevented the business mon
of this city. who assembled yesterday
afternoon at the Board of Trade rooms,
from laying the matter before the
grand jury.
1t was pointed out by Chairman Jo-
inal contract had been more or less
iagrantly violated in several instances.
After considerable discussion a reso-
luton was adopted that a temporary
Plank road be laid until one side was
finished, that the traffic might be &C
c~ommodated. Then the other side could
be done.N
It war only after much talk that a
resolution to lay the matter before he
grand jury was withdrawn. The
thought of the delay that would in
| evitably result from such a procedure
caused the motion to be withdrawn.
After the meeting had settled down
the slogan of Immediate action" was
tacitly approved by everyone present.
1t was realized that legal action of any
kind except as a last resort would tend
to defeat the very object of the meet
ing, which was to get results, and a
committee of ten was appointed by the
chairman to lay the matter before the
Board OF Freeholders. Following are
the names Of those appointed:
Milton II. Porter. chairman;
former Judge Gottfried Kruger, j.
j. Hill, of the Hill Bread Com
pary; Theodore Lawshe. Of the
Lawshe Express Company; G.. Wisner
Thorne. Franklin Phillips, Of the Hewes

The first was stumped; the second

one had specialized on county officials.
They thought they knew a scheme
to save the reputation OF the Office as
a comprehensive source of informa-
ton. First, they asked the inquirer
kindly to hold the phone minute.
Secondly, they called up the Office of
the New Castle County Clerk Of the
Peace on another telephone line.
Thirdly, they asked the New Castle
county clerk of the peace if he would
please tell them the name OF the Kent

BOULEVARD AND KNOCKERS.

From the Dover State Sentinel.

a large delegation of Sussex business
men, farmers and members of various
boards of trade met the Wilmington
Board of Trade, to discuss the dupont
Boulevard. After a spirited discussion
of the road It was demonstrated that
the sentiment was Overwhelmingly in
favor of the road being built. General
dupont took the proper course in dis
continuing work The public is now
beginning to see the Importance Of
standing together on the subject. An
extremely small minority OF knockers
have been able to block the right Of
way, while a large majority of the
people of Delaware want the road.

The men who are expressing them
selves to the Journal on the subject
do so openly and without any attempt
TO conceal their identity.
How different this is from the meth
ods adopted by most Of those who op-
pose the boulevard They generally
hide behind some name that means
nothing except that there are men
every community who are willing to
wear masks and stab in the dark.
Again we say to the opponents of the
boulevard, Come out in the open
