PROJECT OF GREAT IMPORT.
ANCI


From the Wilmington Every Even
ing Dem.).
To the community at large, al
though it has been discussed and
seriously considered for some time
by a number of interested and pub
lic-spirited citizens, the project of a
combined city and county building to
be erected on the square bounded by
Tenth, Eleventh, King and French
streets, the details of which, together
with expressive illustrations. are
given elsewhere in this issue, will
come as q great surprise. But there
is reason TO believe it will command
approval
The proposition that the city and
county unite in the construction of a
building, large enough for, the accom-
mediation OF both administrations. to
supplant the present County Court
House, has been broached and COM
mented upon upon most favorably
But the. proposition set forth today
is far greater in its proportions and
far more promising in its effective
elements, to say nothing OF its archi-
tectural excellence and the promise
it holds out of materially advancing
the great building improvements that
already have made the vicinity OF
Tenth and Market streets the archi-
tectural and business centre of the
city, with promise OF even more re-
markable results in the future.
Briefly stated, the latest project
comprises the erection of a suitable
and appropriate public building
architecturally ornate and ssufficient
in it's accommodations for both par
ties concerned, on the square bound
ed by Tenth, Eleventh, King and
French streets; the demolition and
removal of the present Court House
and the conversion of its site into
an ornamental public square. This
square would be the virtual centre OF
the city and with the proposed build
ing on the east side. as a supplement
to the Imposing DUPONT structures on
the west, would prove a municipal
centre of such attractiveness that
further building improvements would
be speedily invited, not only on Tenth
and Eleventh streets. but on the ad-
iacent streets and could soon entirely
transform that section of the city
There is no doubt, as we have said
that this splendid proposition will
create favorable impression and IL
only remains TO consider it seriously
carefully and practically, taking all
tho elements of advantage and those
of expense, and striking a balance.
The contamination of the project
would involve a large outlay. of
course hut the advantages would be
great That it would enhance prop
erty values and lead to vast prop
erty improvements in the immediate
vicinity is absolutely certain, and
this would mean additional taxes for
both county and city governments.
And it is not unreasonable to predict
that in few years this additional
taxation would he sufficient to meet
the interest ON the cost OF the
Improvement, and perhaps TO help
in the liquidation Of the debt there
by incurred.
Let us give our best thoughts 10
this project; consider it in all its
bearings. and decide what to do. II
gives promise of great advantage to
the city.

HOW TO LOOK YEARS
LESS THAN YOUR AGE
lFrom the permatoIogistl }

The most aged face will look years
younger after the use of ordinary mer-
colized wax for from ten days TO two
weeks. This remarkable substance,
because OF its peculiar absorptive
power, actually removes the thin veil
Of faded or withered outer cuticle, a
little at a time Gradually the fresher,
more youthful skin underneath is re-
vealed. This absorption process being
a purely hygenic one, an entirely ma
tural complexion is aoquired-quite
different from the artificial complex
ion. which appears anything but girl
ish, though often bearing a painful
evidence. of childishness. An once
OF mercolized wax. obtainable at any
drug store. is sufficient 10 rejuvenate
any complexion. II Is put on like
cold cream at bedtime. and removed
mornings witty warm, sudsy water.
To eradicate such age marks as
wrinkles and furrows. make a wash

dered saxolite in a half pint witch

and tonic properties. II quickly ef-
faces all kinds OF wrinkles. no mat

City and County Building
Plan is Approved Heartily.

It is by far the most important
plan for public Improvement that has
been put forward for discussion in
years. Those who are behind the en-
terprise, the many public spirited
citizens who have taken up the mat
ter and put it into definite shape,
have acted I'm highly commendable
manner They have presented to the
authorities a well thought out plan
for acceptance or rejection.
At first it might seem that the pro
posed improvement is too large, that
the project is too ambitious, but
this is far from the truth. Whining
ton has reached the stage of its de-
velopment when something of this
kind should attract attention, when
the city unless serious reasons
should be thought up making the
project not feasible, shoUld prepare
to advance in a manner contemplate
ed in the proposed erection OF the
new building.
In brief. the plan is to erect the
new building on the square bounded
by King, Eleventh. French and Tenth
streets. and to make of the present
court house plot park This would
require a large bond issue, but the
county and city could afford the ex-
penditure. The plan contemplates
the construction of a magnificent
building, but It is one not too great
for the size and importance OF Will
mington and New Castle county.

IN EVERY WAY DESIRABLE.
From the Wilmington Sunday Sta

From the Wilmington Sunday star
(Dem).
The proposed plan for the erection
of a combined county and city build
ings. some details Of which are given
in The Star this morning, is the big
gest public project that has been
broached in Wilmington for years. In
the matter of dimension It takes rank
with the contemplated DUPONT State
Boulevard, and will be in keeping,
architecturally and otherwise, with
the mammoth private structure Of the
dupont Company at Tenth and Mar
ket streets, to which, If the plan is
consummated, it will be near and
harmonious neighbor.
The Star has always been in favor
Of a combination OF our county and
city buildings. and It believes that no
better site could have been selected
than the one proposed. Such a build
ing will give dignity to the city in
matter concerning which It has al
ways been sadly deficient; and what
is OF more Importance, il will afford
ample accommodations for the trans
action of the public business. The
estimated cost is not out of proper
tion to the financial resources Of the
city and county, and the impetus it
will give to the progressive spirit Of
our people, which is just now striv-
ing for adequate expression, VIII be
OF iHcalculablo value.
The project has back of it the com
.binod sentiment of representative
men Of every sphere of effort in the
city and county, and there is hopeful
reason to believe that IL will receive
very general popular support
Those who object to il. If any such
there be, will do SO, we believe. from
considerations of false economy For
years we have gone along, not con-
tentedly, but compulsorily, in a make
shift manner, i'm both city and county
much to the detriment Of public and
private interests, and It is now high
time that in the matter of public
buildings we ssume a position to
which the community's industrial and
official Importance entities it.
An attractive feature of the plan is
10 remove the present Court House
building and make a public square Of
its site, and incidentally TO widen
Tenth and Eleventh streets: also TO
turn over the old City Hall TO the
Historical Society, which is badly in
need of more ample quarters. The
whole project impresses us as one
that is in every way desirable. Il
ought not to fail, and we cannot be-
lieve that the members Of the Levy
Court and of City Council will permit
it TO fail.

MAGNIFICENT TMPROYEMENT.

From the Morning News (RepD
AS an outcome Of the agitation
started some time ago, definite
suggestion is now made for the erec-
tion OF a joint city and county build
ing as an answer to the question Of
how we shall take care of the public
business.
Neither the present court house nor
the present city hall is adequate to
meet the demands of the public SER
vice. but the proposal for a joint
building. which has tho approval of a
number Of well known citizens, Sign
ers Of the petition, is something
vorlhy Of very serious consideration.

Nearly three hundred men have walked over the trail from here to Daw- son this spring and more are going al- most every day, says the Whitehorse Star. By the 25th of March just two hundred had passed the Tahkina road house, and it is estimated that fully one hundred more have gone since that time. Of the number to "mush" to Dawson, fully half walked over the railroad from Skagway. Among those who have arrived from the outside dur ing the past few weeks are many old timers who were in the country in the early days, but who have not been here for several years. Others are annual visitors who walk in and out every year, go down the river and come back on late boat, hitting the ties again from here to Skagway in the fall.

Although Georgia is an agricultural
rather than a manufacturing state. it
has teen for the past sixty years one
of the leading and most progressive
industrial states in the South.
In 1903 the state of Georgia had
