NO LEGISLATION PASSED
FOR DUPONT BOULEVARD
LEGISLATURE FAILS TO ENACT
AMENDMENTS TO THE ACT
Situation Remains the Same as Before
Legislature Met With Matters
Tied Up in Supreme Court

The Delaware legislature ended its
business session late Friday night
without passing any legislation on
the proposed dupont boulevard. aside
from directing the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal Company to construct
a bridge across that stream where the
boulevard shall pass. if it passes.
This is one thing dupont was fighting
for. The report of joint committee
appointed by the general assembly to
draft amendments to TO the boulevard
law. was read Friday afternoon.
The committee said it had been unable
10 agree with General dupont on sew
eral proposed changes in the act.
| Six amendments were submitted, in
| cluding a contract 10 turn over the
boulevard profits to the state. The
amendments were drawn that, if not
accepted by Coleman dupont road.
| INCORPORATED. within three months
after enactment. they and the present
boulevard law would be repealed auto
matically. The automatic repeater
will not work, however, for the rea-
son that the house late this afternoon
rejected the amendments by vote OF
21 to IA. Twenty-four affirmative
votes. two-thirds. were needed e
enact them. They therefore fail.
While negative. the result. as vieweC
bv some Of the friends of dupont, il
not defeated for him, but it leave
the boulevard matter as it was befor'
the legislature convened. The Who'll
matter is tied up in the United State
= supreme court and cannot be reache
, for three years. The absence Of du
f, Pont. as we'll as Counsel Richards
a gave evidence that they cared littl
T. what became of the hill and leave
= the strong impression that the boule
n ward as far as Delaware is c0ncerne
y is done for. The bill had receive
d within two votes of passing, whe
e the announcement Of the vote W;
e withheld until all should have had
n chance to vote on il. That swell'
the opposing vote by changes.
Awaits Action Of U. S. Supreme Cou
re General du Pont was in Wilmin
:, ton for a short time yesterday NOR
r ing. but he had nothing to say abo
he the boulevard situation. except to J
V. peat his previous statement that
ed would hold up work on the bOuleva
he until the United States court pass

ial This is expected TO mean a wait
three years. In view of the fact Il
the state legislature, whose final b
mess session was held last FriC
night. did nothing with respect TO
=, boulevard, except TO compel the Ch
apeake and Delaware canal to bull
bridge across the stream in case
ht- boulevard is built, some of
m. members of the legislature,
ird was learned, are informally consid
ing ing the question Of trying to h
in something done in the Legislat

ev- tion Of the boulevard. Whether
ors thing is to be done is extren
vas doubtful.

COTTON AT NEWBERRY.

NEWBERRY, July 29.-Fourteen
hundred and seventy bales of cotton
were sold here today by Newberrians
who have been holding it for a long

poets of big crop and consequent
lower prices made them turn loose.
The price is not stated, but is some
where about IL cents. The sale will
turn loose about $4,000 in the COM
