ASSESSING COSf
OF AVENUE PAVING
Those Along South Side Get
Bills For Portion of
Work
p. S. DUPONT PAYS
FOR NORTH SIDE

A misunderstanding has arisen over
the cost Of paving Delaware avenue,
some property owners along The south
side OF that thoroughfare having had
the impression that they were TO get
the paving free. Bills for a share OF
the cost Of the paving have been sent
20 property owners living on the snuth
side OF Delaware avenue. The bills
range. from about Si0O upwards, accord
ing 90 the frontage OF the property.
Under the plan of repavlng Delaware
avenue. Pierre :. dupont paid the dam
ages for acquiring the additional width
along the north side Of the avenue and
for LAYING the new sidewalks necessary
along that side He also paid 70" the
new paving between the car tracks and
the northern sidewalks. The remainder
OF the paving was 20 be paid for under
the abuitlng paving law. by The VII
mngton and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany and The property owners alons
the south side Of the street.
Some Of the property owners along
the south side Of the avenue, however,
have an impression The repairing was
90 be done without cost TO them. mas
much as five feet was taken from thelr
sidewalks 90 widen the street.
Street Commissioner Frank w. Pier
son says the property owners evidently
misunderstood Mr.. dupont's agreement.
The city assumed the cost OF tearing mp
and replacing the sidewalks OF property
owners along the south side Of the
street. Mr. PersOn said and Mr.. du-
pont assumed the cost OF the paving
OF the north side Of the street with the
stipulation that The property owners
on that side allow the city to take q few
feet Of their lawn and in some case por-
tions Of the buildings. for the I'M
prOvement OF the street, also paid them
damages for whatever land might be
used in the improvement. Mr.. dupont
had never entered into a contract with
the people OF the south side Of the ave
nue.. The paving was done under the

CHORUS REHEARSES
CHRISTMAS MU5IC
Barnhart Directs Vocalists In
First Rehearsal of
Handel's Messiah"
ELECT OFFICERS
ON FRIDAY NIGHT

The several hundred people present
at last nights sing in the auditorium Of
the Wilmington High school enjoyed a
fine rehearsal for the great Christmas
concert. They studied the musical pos
sibilities OF Christmas carols and de-
yeloped richer expression Of the state
ly phrases Of the "Hallelujsh Chorus"
from The Messiah" by George Fred
erick Handel.
The first performance Of THE Mes
slah," was given in Dublin, Ireland, in
1872, where the composer was then
staying as the guest OF the Duke Of
Deyonshire. II was given a splendid
performance in London The following
year. The audience was so deeply
thrilled by the grandeur Of the Halle
lujah Chorus that all present sprang
10 their feet in spontaneous tribute.
Since then IL has always been the Gus
tom for audiences TO stand during the
singing Of this portion OF the OratOriO.
The singing Of the great Christmas
Oratorio, considered the finest work OF
one Of the worlds most famous com
p0sers, is an annual custom in many
cities. Although Handel was a German
by birth. he lived long in England and
his greatest works are English in
spirit. He was more appreciated in
England than in Germany.
The chorus did not spend the entire
evening in rehearsal, but part Of the
sing was held in lighter vein. Various
popular songs furnished merriment ami
fun 10 the big assembly.
There will be an interesting meeting
OF the chorus at o'clock on Friday
evening. at the High school auditorium
or annex, when permanent officers will
be elected. The public Is invited to be
present. whether enrolled members or
not.
