ARDEN BAbKS over
Boulevard FIGHT.
Some Members Object to
Diverting Funds TO Oppose
DUPONT Highway
SAY MONEY IS ONLY
FOR COMMERCIAL USES

After enjoying peace for several
months, which is considered unusual
for the colony. dissention has again
cropped out among the Ardenites.
This time it is over the proposed du-
Pont boulevard. and if plans mapped
out by the Leaseholders' Protective
Association of the colony are carried
out, any attempt to donate funds from
the village treasury TO fight the con-
struction of the boulevard will be op-
posed. The question of donating
money for this purpose came up at
the town meeting at the colony last
Saturday night.
Walter Sweeting, a resident who is
said to have acted In behalf OF G..
Frank Stephens. one OF the founders
and trustees of the colony. brought
the matter to the attention Of the Ar
dcnites He made a motion that 5000
be donated from the treasury to enter
into a legal fight against construction
of the DUPONT boulevard.
Few of the residents were present,
and Frank H. Harrison, a townsman
and member OF the executive COM
mittee Of the Leaseholders' Protec-
tive Association. amended the motion
to lay the matter over until the first
meeting in January This was agree
able to those who favored the origi-
nal motion, II being explained that al
/ that time residents and attorneys of
lower Delaware who have opposed the
construction Of the boulevard would
be present and speak on the subject
I Following the meeting on SATURDAY.
evening, several residents suggested
that as the bylaws Of Arden forbid
the use of any communal funds fol
any purpose other than communal
any donation would be illegal. Other.
claimed that as the water supply o.
the village is about exhausted ant
every household is in danger on ac
count Of the scarcity of water. i
would be more profitable to donat,
the 5000 towards installing a waite
system.
The question OF water supply is
serious one at the colony. all IN
wells being dry and even the Arde
Water Company, it is claimed, is hay
ing trouble in securing water.
