ASKS REASONS FOR
TAKING OF Church
Pastor Irwin, of Delaware
Avenue Baptists, Says Ex-
PLANTATION Should Come
EDIFICE WAS BUILT
ON VACATED STREET

"The contemplated opening Of
Tenth street needs a better explana-
ton to show why the taxpayer
should have further burdens placed
upon him. asserted the Rev. Joseph
Y. Irwin. pastor of Delaware Avenue
Baptist Church. from the pulpit last
evening. Referring to the fact that
the extension Of Tenth street will
mean the tearing down OF the church,
Pastor Irwin said.
The past week We have heard why
the Mayor and Street and Sewer De-
partment had asked for commits
sion TO condemn this property and
the adjoining properties with the
purpose of opening Tenth street We
are told. not TO make city beauti-
ful but relieve the congestion on
Delaware avenue so that the traffic
may go out Tenth street Let us
Just look at this statement Tenth
street IS cut off in a few blocks
from Delaware avenue by Cold Spring
or woman OF intelligence would GO
from Van Buren, to Franklin streets
on Tenth street with an automobile
The condition Of the street and the
grade forbid the use of this street
If they want 10 relieve the conges-
tion on Delaware avenue what is the
matter with Eleventh street with free
access to Delaware and Pennsylvania
avenues. or course those going out
TO the western part of the city would
never think Of using Tenth street
while there are other and better
streets.
1--WE are also told that the churcl
had no right 10 build In the street.
Let us see this statement in regar,
70 history Il is a fact that with thu
consent Of the City OF Wilmington
ahe State Legislature passed a bill
vacating a street over a decade be
fore the church was organized. Tit
& City Council. as ! understand SOM
years before had passed an ordinance
, vacating the street This ought TO b.
sufficient guarantee for any individ
ual or organization TO erect a build
/ ing. Furthermore. what do we havl
/ at present: The city putting the Higl
4 School In the bed Of q street.
These reasons are not according
to facts hence we shall pass owe
them with the statement that the cor
templated opening OF Tenth stree
needs a better explanation to sho'
why the taxpayers should have furthe
/ burdens placed upon them.
DR.. Irwin then proceeded with hi
sermon on THE Spirit of the Age i
Wilmington" The spirit was marke
by four predominant characteristics
