THAT FOuRrH STREET HUMP.

INVEST Fourth street is being repaved
w The work will cost a large amount of money.
Before it progresses too far practical and def

OF Fourth street hill
II would entail considerable expense for cutting fill

would be well spent Nor should anyone lose sight Of
the fact that all public Improvements that worth
while cos, money and that a rule the longer they
deferred the more money they cost.
In an engineering sense the plan to make a mater
rial reduction in the height Of Fourth street hill is
perfectly feasible II is not question Of whether It
can be DONE but rather question Of whether the
money be obtained to have il done.
The proposition is not one, but age has
strengthened rather than weakened the wisdom under

compensate the city for the cost Of grade reduction
Il is matter that should be favored by all prop

BAYARp AND THE CIrY sOIIC1rORsHIP.

NHAYOR-ELBCT JOHN w. LAWSON has selected
Av1Thomas f. Bayard, Jr, Democrat to succeed for
mer Judge Daniel o. Hastings Republican. as city So
lcitor
The selection should be pleasing TO most Democrats
and not offensive TO Republicans.
Mr. Bayard is member OF one Of the most prominent
Democratic families in Delaware In addition he is
respectable and responsible member OF the Delaware
bar No doubt he will conduct the affairs Of the citys
Law Department in acceptable manner
Delaware Democracy has not been especially kind to
Mr. Bayard in an oface-giyng sense. Notwithstanding
he has worked trelessy in its behalf He never has
held an important political office
In the Democratic primaries last Fall he endeavored
to obtain enough delegates to enable him to win the
nomination for United States Senator His lines were
not strong enough to Withstand the Of Josiah
o Wolcots forces and he suffered defeat
II is Of course far cry from the office OF United
States Senator to the Office Of city solicitor but
candid opinion is that Mr. Bayard will make good
city solicitor and that Mayor-elect Lawson will have
little 20 regret that he made such
ton from the ranks OF the Democrats who aspred to
the place.
IT, following his installation, Mr.. Bayard will size up
to City Solicitor Hastings in ability and energy, the
public viii be well pleased with his work.
