WANT CITY TO
OWN WATERFRONT

The Mercantile Association of Will
mington. which is comprised of many
of the most prominent merchants in
the city, will hold a public meeting
in its rooms. No. 702 Market street,
tomorrow evening, to discuss and pro-
badly take action upon the Delaware
River front project, movement be-
ing on foot to provide way for t. y
city to obtain ownership of the filled
in ground between the present low
water mark and the bulkhead which
the Government started to build and
then quit. when it was learned the
city had no interest in the land along
the river.
James G. O'Neal is president Of the
association, and the understanding
is that there exists in the body a very
strong sentiment in favor of the as
sociation placing itself on record for
municipal ownership and control of
the state land along the Delaware
river.
Mr., O'Neal, in speaking of the pos
sibilfty of the city's development by
the aid of a water front, said: Il
believe we should have the river front

kind as to gront us our request for

HISTORIC WOOD
In THIS GAVEL
House Speaker Gets Mallet of
Walnut From New Castle
Court House

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Feb. 27.-Richard
S. Rodney, mayor of New Castle,
came to Dover today and, in the pres
ence of the legislators, presented to
Speaker Of the House Chauncey p.
Holcomb black walnut gavel, which
was made from wood taken from the
old Court House in New Castle.
Speaker Holcomb has for many
years lived in New Castle and has
been elected as Representative from
that hundred several times. The
gayel was turned from a piece Of
black walnut by A. S. Boyce and is
beautifully polished. The old CoCurt
House was built in 1907, and was
used as the State Capitol until 1777
In making the presentation Mr.
Rodney said:
Mr.. Speaker it is my privilege to
appear for certain citizens of the
city OF New Castle and trespass upon
the time of your Honorable House for
a few moments this afternoon.
Back in the by-gone years, so far
back that the mind of man runneth
not to the contrary, there was build
ed I'm the city OF New Castle a struc-
ture which was long the seat Of JUS
tice for what is now the State or
Delaware.
There william Penn and his Dep
uty Governors presided over the Col
onial Councils and Assemblies and
there our Delaware Legislatures met
until 1777, when Dover was desig-
mated as the place of meeting
From wood from this building
there has been turned a gavel which
/ now desire to present to you-Mr.
Speaker
IF wood could speak this small
portion could tell us an interesting
and eloquent story of the Colonial
days and the stirring times Of the
Revolution when mems SOILS we're
tried and blood swept like wild-fre
through their veins
1T is a source of pride to me that
my ancestor William Rodney. was
the first Speaker Of the Delaware
Assembly and it is a pleasure for
his descendant to be able TO present
to q fellow townsman, the latest
Speaker of the House. a symbol of
authority from the same building in
which the first Spkear performed his
labors.
May It ever he used as a means
OF furtherance Of the liberties Of our
people and as it crashes on the block
may it. to the ears Of men elected
| BY THE PEOPLE, under a govern
ment OF THE PEOPLE, sound the
passage Of laws, not for special in
terests. nor for partisan purposes
but the passage of statutes enacted
FOR THE PEOPLE"
Il would indeed have little feeling
II I did not accep, this with the great
est pleasure" said Speaker Holcomb
81 am indeed surprised and it almost
makes a man swell up and burst into
tears TO receive such token from my
fellow townsmen. It is all the more
so when ] see in the delegation from
my own town two men whom I had
the honor but not the pleasure, tC
defeat for representative. simply
can't say any more"
In the delegation beside Mr.. Rodney
we're William Leech, John f. Taylor
William H. Cooper Jr., and Albert S
Boyce.
