Mayor Rodney's Speech.
Mayor Rodney. OF New Castle, when
called upon to speak. said;
knowing full well that you desire
no speech from me ] shall be most
brief IN my few remarks. I am sure
that can answer for my fellow-tofns-
. men in expressing to you our sincere
appreciation Of your courtesy in ex-
tending to US this invitation, but
realize fully that the one extended to
mo Is an Official one. AS l have the
honor to hold the Office of Mayor OF
our city bring you the greetings
and regards of our townspeople.
New Castle is a very old town
rich in historical associations and In
times past gloried in her aristocracy.
But the New Castle of today, while
hallowing its past history, while re-
vering the memory of its ancestors
while preserving the historical tradi-
tons anu memories, feels that these
are not so important now and that
the main object of its attention should
be its material and industrial growth
1--WE believe that you will help us
in this because the benefit that you In
Wilmington derive from our growth
and prosperity in being our natural
market-place and outlet is so appsr-
ent and so self-evident that it needs
no consideration at my hands.
There are but a few topics that
desire to mention. Some time ago
think 7 saw in the paper that some
gentleman in addressing this body
and reciting. the industrial needs o.
Wilmington said it was impossible tC
get a steel casting closer thar
Chester. In our little city we have
four excellent steel casting plants
which, I understand. can make any
thing desired. ! mention this matter
in no invidious sense but only to show
the necessity for us to become bet
ter acquainted with each other
"You desire undoubtedly. gentle
men. that New Castle shall buy II
Wilmington and this desire I heartily
endorse-when We can't get things il
New Castle-and II should be you
pleasure as we'll as your duty q
make things as pleasant as possihl
for shoppers. At present our car
are compelled 10 stop at Front an
Market streets Cars from Newpor'
cars from Stanton. cars from Mar
shallton. from Brandywine Springs
from Chester and Philadelphia g
through the heart OF your city and O.
nearly all Of your streets. Shoul
theee things ha and we the secon
city OF your State only six mile
from you are compelled to chang
cars at your very entrance. Thin
this over. gentlemen.
I'VE ask your industrial holp. Vine
you cannot accommodate any concer
