COUNCIL WILL

Officials Will Decide on Some

Following the regular meeting Of City
Council last night the members of the
finance and navigation committees OF
that body met in Mayor Howelrs office
at the CITY Hall and talked the river
front subject for considerable time. Fol
lowing the last election, when the people
voted almost unanimously on two aues-
tions submitted to the voters Leading to
the acquisition Of the Delaware river
front by Wilmington. the old Council.
which was about to retire from office.
did not take mp the questions, leaving
them TO the succeeding Council to solve.
When the present body went into office
one Of the first things done was to re-
quest the navigation committee of Coun-
ell to secure data and other information
on the subject and submit it to Council.
This committee met with the finance
committee for the first time last night.
and started in motion the project to ac-
qure the river front or whatever part
Of 1t Council may think the city should
own.
After considerable discussion last
night it was decided that the members
of the two committees view the river
front tomorrow afternoon. This will be
done allowing the meeting with the
members of the Levy Court which is
scheduled for o'clock in the Council
chambers when the approach to the pro.
posed new Third street bridge will be
considered. Immediately following this
conference the members OF the Council
committees win make the trip to the
river front, probably in automobiles.
The discussion last night was
varied. One member of Council fav-
ored acquiring the entire river front
for the city and he received some
support. Another member questioned
the advisibility of acquiring all the
frontage, contending that private
development of a portion of the river
front would be an assistance to the
development OF the project, rather
than hindrance No definite con-
clusion was reached. however, and
much will depend on the views the
members OF the committees will
lake following the inspection tomor-
row.

When Mr.. Kurtz was seen at his
office this morning he said he enjoyed
! the trip Immensely In speaking of
the fire on the Tmperaror he said II
was his opinion such fire could not
have occurred at sea. The reason he
felt so was that no one was around
and that one of the kitchen ovens
no doubt caused the fire. "The I'M
perator" said Mr.. Kurtz. "is a fioal-
Ing palace" You can imagine some
tnlng about the great ship when you
consider she had the largest number
or passengers on her trip here that
I ever crossed the Atlantic ocean, on
one vessel. There were 5000 people
aboard. Notwithstanding that num-
Der comfort was everywhere. One did
not feel the big ship was on the

could do for its guests. Then we

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2B.-Still char

the Mexican situation today neverthe-
less appeared to be muddled BY new
complexities
What Special Envoy John Lind has
in mind as the next step in his mis-
sion was the main uncertainty The
state Department carry today claimed
it was without information as to wheth-
er he would return to Mexico City to
resume negotiations or not Officials
professed no knowledge of whether Lind
would reply to the latest Gamboa note.
He was sent to Mexico City with the
broadest of discretionary powers. He
does not necessarily have to confer with
Washington before making counter pro-
posals to the Huerta government. II
was admitted today that Lind Indicated
his broad instructions when he made the
proposal to Gamboa covering loans to
the de facto government since officials
prOfessed never to have advised him on
this phase.
The situation today revolved in the
same cycle of expectancy, encourage
ment and doubt. Today 1t was ap-
parently passing through the doubt
Stage and into that of expectancy.
And meanwhile the administration
made no concrete move which could
be construed as a preparation for any
untoward incident in the Mexican
situation. No orders have yet been
issued for movement of any con-
siderable body of troops to the border
to enforce the neutrality law. It was
