LOOK TO The
REFERENDUM
FOR REDRESS
Citizens Say Lighting Com
petition Would be Possible
Under Advanced Law
INCENSED AT REFUSAL
TO PERMIT COMPETITION

Incensed at the action of the Direc-
tors of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment, in refusing the franchise appli-
cation of the Peoples Heat, Light and
Power Company, members of the
Referendum League last evening de-
voted considerable time to discussion
of the Departments action. II was
claimed by those who spoke on the
subject that with the Initiative and
Referendum in force questions as to
city competition in public utilities
would be decided by the people them
selves.
The question came up shortly after
Walter L. Willis, president pro tenn
called the meeting TO order and
George Il. Litz was the first speaker.
Mr.. Litz declared that during the week
the people of the city had an oppor-
tunity of seeing how the Referendum
would work. He referred to the re-
cent Initiative taken on the river
front question which resulted in
enough signers being secured to war
rant a vote at the coming City cleo
tion to determine whether the City or
the Wilmington Terminal Company
and its associates shall own the city's
waterfront Mr.. Litz said that had the
same method been taken in respect
to the granting of franchise TO the
Peoples Company, the Street and
Sewer Directors would not have the
power 10 decide in favor of a monopoly
in the lighting business in this city.
Mr.. Litz cited cases in western cit
les where public service companies
had their franchises revoked by the
people through the referendum, and
he declared II, only real solution to
the present trouble was in a munich
pal plant.
Louis Kramer said he agreed with
George w. Sparks, president Of the
Street and Sewer Department, that
there should be one lighting company
in the city, thereby avoiding the un-
slightly wires and poles, but he ar
gued that the only way to solve the
question was to have public utility
board with power to act or to have
municipality owned plant
Mr. Kramer also said that If w
could not have such a plant, the city
should own underground conduits ant
rent them to all companies.
Lewis A. Hillersohn read an extrac
/ from an editorial in the Every Even

chise and said that If he would no

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The sit

snti-alien land owning legislation in
California today became one demand
ing active attention from both tie
President and Secretary OF State
Bryan. The Japanese Government
has renewed its protest against the
measure as amended in the Cali
.fornia Senate and has frankly told
the administration that while an at
tempt to disguise has been made, the
measure chiefly is directed against
the Japanese.
Il is expected that a formal pro-
test bearing the sanction of the
Toxic Government will be made TO
the President through the State De-
partment as soon as it is definitely
certain the measure will pass.
The President himself does not be-
lieve that he can take any official
action to prevent the passage of the
bill Not only has he been told that
California sentiment of all parties is
favorable to the proposed law. but he
has also been assured that II the Leg

LIBRARY FOR
THE CITY
Board Of Managers Of InSti-
tuition Consider Three
Sites for Building
SUGGEST THAT CITY
SOCIETIES WORK TOGETHER

Steps we're taken toward securing
new quarters for the Wilmington In
stitute Free Library at a meeting Of
the Board Of Managers OF the institu-
ton last night, when committee
composed OF William Palmer. Bllwood
c. Jackson ard Colonel W. e. stover
was appointed TO look into the possi-
bilities OF a new building for the IL
brary.
Owing 10 the rapid growth Of the
library during the last few years, and
the increased attendance, the room
has become very much overcrowded
and has almost reached its limit Of
expansion. both for shelf room and
reading room. The library now con-
tains about 10000 volumes, which
could hardly be put in smaller
space and be accessible.
| The library and its system has
been praised by many Librarians who
have visited this city, but the lack
of room has been deplored and the
statement has been made frequently
that better library has never been
housed in such cramped and made
/ uuate quarters. Not only is the IL
brary room very small, but the light
Is exceptionally bad and on dark
iiays It is almost impossible To read
there without artificial light
The committee last night was ap-
pointed to look into the matter OF
securing new quarters. In all prob
ability a new building will be con-
structed that will cost from S150.00t
to $250,000, and will be a model IL
brary in every respect. The com.
I mittee has under consideration nu'
{ merous sites, among them being thu
Winchester property at Eleventh ant
Market streets. and the property o.
the Job II. jackson estate, at Eleventh
and Washington streets.
The present Court House Is ais
being considered. but as II will tax
s almost two-thirds of what ne'
building would cost TO remodel tn
; Court House. and as II would OF

ings. 1t is hardly probable that tn
) project will be acted upon. Th
: stones and other materials from tn
= Court House, II II is torn down, migf

II Il was suggested at the meetin
last night that the committee try ,
secure the cooperation Of such sc
cietiee al the Delaware Historical So
ciety. the Delaware Society OF Natu
n raj History. and other societies an
that all Of them go together and erec
the building. or course, n this wer
done. much larger and more beauti
ful building could be erected.
The matter Of funds was not dis
cussed at length last night, but m
library has no ready money to bull
such a building. However, II own

which is valued IN the neiRhborhooI
