To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNALS
Sir-The naming Of the new square
is going to be very interesting and no
doubt a problem for our Park Board.
It is not a question of doubt that the
square should be named after some IL
lustrious son or family connected with
the affairs OF Wilmington, past or
present. A name should be selected
that has stood out prominently in
the affairs Of the city. a name that has
been a factor in building up the city,
and thereby TO a great extend of put.
ting Wilmington on the map. That
name to my mind is DUPONT and
this name should by all means be
given to the new Square.
The new square is situated in the
heart Of the business life of our city
the dupont family has for many
years been the heart of the business
life. The name has meant much tc
Wilmington, both industrially, finan
cially and otherwise, We should there
fore show our appreciation and az the
same time memorize the name that has
done much for our beloved city.
would also suggest the remaining oi
the other city squares in Whining
ton that do not bear the name OF
one Of our illustrious sons-for in
stance. Coolspring Park could be re
named "Bayard Park" and so on.
Trusting you will be good enough
to give space to the above in your
valuable paper. am.
Respectfully yours,
