Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
STATE HOUSE. DOVER, Del Feb.
2S.-The Senate today unanimously
passed Senator Walkers bill to amend
the general corporation law so that
electric railway companies may sell
electric current for heat light and

The bill was advocated by the Peo-
pies Railway Company and in its
original form would have permitted

other company Attorneys for the
Wilmington and Philadelphia Trac-
tion Company objected TO the original
bill and many hearings were held in
the Senate committee on corporations.
II was a compromise bill that the
Senate passed. II does not permit the
use OF poles of one company by an
other and under its provision consent
of the town council or commissioners
is necessary to erect poles on any
street Poles cannot be erected on
private property without the consent
