SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS $4O,OOO
EBERT AWARD

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Feb. 1.-The Supreme
Court today upheld the decision OF the
Superior Court, which sustained the re-
gularity of the condemnation Of DR..
Samuel g. Elbert's property in viii
mington as part of the site for the joint
city and county hall. The property Is
at the southeast corner Of Eleventh and
King streets, and jury OF condemna-
tion awarded DIR. Elbert $4,000 Tor il.
Through Robert H. Richards, his coun-
sci, DR.. Ebert attacked the regularity
of the condemnation procedure. and also
raised q question of constitUtiOnaity OF
the taking Of his property. The super
Tor Court upheld the award and dis
missed the legal technicalities raised.
DR.. Elbert then appealed to the Su-
preme Court, which sustained the decl-
sion OF the lower court.
Dr. Elbert's is the only property
needed in the entire block for the build
ing site, and unless he appeals to the
United States Supreme Court, work on
the construction OF the million dollar
building is expected to be hastened.
In concluding the opinion Of the
court which was unanimous and read
by Chancellor Curtis, the court said:
while we affirm the judgments
below, we take this opportunity OF
saying that, speaking generally, the
proceedings for taking private prop
erty for public uses should be pur-
sued strictly in accordance with leg
islative authority for such proceedings
and IL is always a safe rule 70 have
II appear of record that all statu-
tory requirements respecting the ex-
ercise OF the right OF eminent domain
have been observed.
"In deciding the technical ques-
tons raised by the plaintiff in err
ror, in both cases, we have consider
ed them as technical questions mas
much as there is not here, either in
the record, or briefs, or oral argu-
ment, any allegations of injustice, in
jury, oppression, surprise, accident,
or mistake nor are any facts shown
from which such may be inferred.
For aught that appears, the land
owner, by a regular proceeding, al
ter due notice and full hearing, OBJ
tanned award of damages, assessed in
the manner asked for by him, and in
such case the court should not light
ly undo what has been so done.
The judgment of the court below in
each case is affirmed"

r most American cities which Lake any pretense o

had anything OF that sort although there is no doubt
that the sentiment in our city Is overwhelmingly IN
favor Of gymnasium being supplied for the physical

High School athletics stands for something more than
mere sport It stands for healthy bodies and healthy

Perhaps if the Board OF Education wouD pay more
intelligent aud sympathetic attention to the athletic
side OF High School life there would be fewer with
draSals from that institution and the High School
spirit would be more pronounced One would think
that the friendly attitude of the successful colleges
