manner the State should Gesire.
This was pointed to by friends OF
the boulevard movement as showing
as plainly as il could be shown that
General DUPONT has the benefit of the
State uppermost i'm mind in his boule-
ward plans. and that profits TO himself
or to the Coleman DUPONT Road, In
corporated, are farthest from his mind.
Whether the Legislature viii place
itself on record as saying that the peo-
pie of Delaware do not want the bOule-
ward remains to be seen. If the bouIe-
ward corporation law is repealed. Cen
eral DUPONT says he will take it as an
indication that the people do not want
the State-long boulevard and he will
dissolve the corporation, restore the
land acquired for right of way to the
former owners, and will expect the
State to repay to the boulevard cor
portation the $4,000 deposited by II
under the law If on the other hand
the Legislature does not repeal the
boulevard law, General dupont will
regard it as an indication that the
people do want the boulevard con-
structed and he will expect additional
legislation to assist the project. IL
will require two-thirds vote in each
branch to repeal the amendment.
