Threaten Legal Action
ORDINANCES PASSED
FOR BOND ISSUES
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DELAWARE CITY, Del, Aug. r.
City Council has passed some ordinances
dealing with the mooted street paving
question this week. The first ordinance
passed is to authorize the Mayor and
Council of Delaware City TO borrow
$4,000 and issue bonds for the purpose of
improving Clinton street. This ordi-
nance was given its final reading and
was passed by Council The bonds are
to bear interest at the rate of per cent.
A number of people from here who are
against the $1,000 issue are supporting
a movement to defeat the borrowing Of
the money.
The second ordinance passed was to
authorize the Mayor and Council of
Delaware City TO borrow $4,000 for the
purpose Of improving the streets and
highways This act was authorized by
an act of the last Legislature. These
bonds are TO bear interest at the rate
of ) per cent.
The third ordinance received much
discussion before it was finally acted
upon. The original proposed ordinance
was to establish a curb line l5 feet from
the centre of Clinton street, which
meant that the street was to be mar
rowed ten feet. Councilman Harry
Rose objected to this and the question
was thoroughly threshed out. Joseph
Anderson, a citizen who objected to the
ordinance, asked Council if they had a
right to establish a curb line without
an act of the legislature He also said
that he thought it would congest traffic,
After the question was considered, it
was decided to narrow the street two
feet on both sides of Clinton street, from
Front to Second street, and hve feet on
both sides of Clinton street from Second
to Fifth street. This has been done so
as to lower the cost of building the road
on Clinton street. 1t is thought that
the road on Clinon street will be built
Of aimesite, because it is little cheaper
than concrete and answers about the
same purpose

Spirits"
CAUSE MEN TO
TAKE TO DRINK

The secret is out-the Theosophists
have discovered why men drink The
spirits do it according to L. w. Rogers
Of New York, national lecturer Of the
Theosophical Society, who recently lee
tued in Wilmington
Death does not separate man from
his desire for strong drink" said Rogers
today in Chicago. 1t only separates him
from his physical desire. The wander
ing spirit may be seized with an un-
quenchable thirst.
what does the spirit do? 1t seizes
upon some convivial friend and forces
him to buy. The friend may not want
drink at all-may prefer beer to high
balls. but the spirit is a selfish spirit.
BY suggestion he shoves the friend into
the bar, and forces him to swallow what
he, the spirit desires.

FOR JOURNAL WORKERS

THE EVENING JOURNAL staff de-
sires to express to ]. G.. Harrison
and Sons, Berlin, Nd, its thanks for
a large basket of luscious Ray
peaches. That is one Of the best
commercial varieties and is adopted
to a wide range of territory. The
Harrisons report that in point of
sales Of young trees it stands with
them next to the Elberta. They have
1000 trees of that variety and they
are loaded with fruit Of the finest
quality. The fruit Is selling at SO

The Ray peach ripens from August

delicate shade. The trees are ex-
ceedingly strong growers. and shape
ly and symmetrical. Experience with
thousands of bearing trees in the

PLAN OUTLINED
FOR UP-RIVER

Members of the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce as well as Wilmington fol.
lowers of motor boating. are much in
terested in the hearing given on Tues
day by Colonel Joseph T. Kuhn Of the
United States Engineering Department,
who sat in the headquarters of the
Chester Board of Trade for three hours
and listened to harbor appeals made by
two factions, rich industrial concerns
along the Delaware River front, and the
extensive yachting interests on the
banks of Essington harbor
George r. Henderson, consulting en-
eineer. and r. p. c. Sanderson, assist
ant general superintendent of the Bald
win Locomotive Works, contended that
the proposed new bulkheading line
should extend 800 feet from the pres
ent line all the way from Ridley Creek
to Cnm Creek They stated that un-
der present conditions their ocean ship
ping facilities were greatly limited by
lack of proper wharfage. This would
give them opportunity TO ship locomo-
tives direct from the Eddystone plants
to foreign ports, especially to South
American ports Now they were COM
PEELED to ship by rail to Philadelphia to
reach ocean-going vessels.
sydney g. Fisher and Captain Addi-
son f. Bancroft, representing the Co
rinthian Yacht Club. and c. Carroll
Cook representing the Philadelphia
Yacht Club, both Of which organizations
maintain handsome headquarters and
numerous modern pleasure yachts at
Essington, declared that the extension
OF the bulkhead line ! 800 feet would
practically destroy the harbor, which
has already be affected by the construc-
tion of the mammoth pier at the Eddy
stone Print Works, at Eddystone. Be
fore this new pier was built the depth OF
the harbOr was - feet. Now it is only
- feet Further interference with the
entrance of the water into the harbor,
they said would render the harbor too
shallow for yachting purposes.
Colonel Kuhn assured his hearers that
be would weigh the prom and con argu-
ments set forth in careful manner be-
fore making his recommendation to the
War Department.
