FINE POSSIBILITIES.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The City Of Wilmington Jared very
we'll az the hands Of the last session OF
the Legislature, and in addition the
new school code will be Of permanent
financial help to her public schools.
Under the new school laws Whining
ton will share in the State school funds
on a basis OF pupils enrolled in her
public schools and on this basis OF ap-
portionment will get approximately
sixty thousand dollars per year more
than under the old school laws. Al
one time It was thought that the new
school code would not become a law
and the members Of the Legislature
from Wilmington pushed through
law which would give to Wilmington
under the old laws an equal share on
the basis Of number OF teachers en-
ployed, which was only fair, and tine
Legislature voted for and passed the
law no do Justice 10 the city Of VIII
mington schools. After the new school
code finally became a law so far as the
Legislature could complete 1t, the spe-
cial act referred TO above was unneces-
sary, because the object desired was
obtained through the new school laws,
and therefore the special act should
not be signed by Governor Townsend.
The new school laws will be printed in
a month and generally distributed, and
when this Is done the people will be-
come familiar with its purposes and
realize that while Il is radical
change, yet in it there are poss billtles
for great improvement over the old
school system.

of the Kennett pike for the purp lse
first Of freeing the road Of all tolls
and second, OF rebuilding the road
from the city line to its terminus. IL
Is understood that the new pike viii
be Of everlasting concrete. Arrange
ments are to be effected with the Street
and Sewer Department for the re-
building OF Pennsylvania avenue which
connects with the Kennett pike, from
Union street TO the city line.
The freeing Of the only toll road in
Delaware cannot be done too soon
and the building Of the new road can
not be started too soon. Coming al th3
time IL does, when labor and industry
have not settled down TO a rea1just-
ment after-the-war bass, the construc-
ti0n work on the new Kennett pike will
doubtlessly give employment to mum
bers Of men who would otherwise be
unemployed.

Caroline County has more important

all goes Republican more frequently
than any other county. Now IL IS put
ting up a claim for the judgeship in
this circuit on the ground that 1t has

from the Democratic party as does
Caroline, and a much better reason
