URGES EARLY REPAIR
OF RIVER BANKS

following communication from the

"The Levy Court Of New Castle county.
"Gentlemen-Agreeably TO your re-
quest for my opinion as 10 the right
Of the Levy Court TO contract for the
completion OF the work OF repairing

and Red Lion hundreds, without first
advertising for contracts, would adj
wise you that I am of the opinion that
the urgency OF the situation is SO great
and the damage which the public might
suner by reason OF any delay. that it
is not only lawful but the duty Of the
Levy Court to press this work to com
pletlon, without advertising for bids,
with the utmost expedition.
This opinion is based upon what !
believe TO be sound common sense and

vided the work has not progressed so
far or is Of such character that its
cessation for the purpose Of receiving
bids and awarding the contract there
under, would seriously affect the
rights OF the public in the use OF the
structure that is being repaired.
such a construction OF the statute
IS fair and reasonable, both to the
commissioners and the people OF the

duties OF the former as well as to the
rights Of the latter

Press The wartime pohibition ban
should not be lifted by the President
until after the settlement OF the steel
strike. Representative Volstead, MINI,
chairman OF the House judiciary com

the ban was largely responsible for the
small amount Of violence in the steel
district.
"NVhat do you suppose would have
happened in the big steel districts had
liquor been sold with thousands OF men
idie?" Volstead asked. "The President,
1 am sure has taken that matter into
consideration before committing him
self to any movement looking toward
lifting Of the ban He has the discre-
tion to continue prohibition even after
the peace treaty has been ratified and
the army demobllized should the steel
situation demand it,"
Volstead predicted that complete
agreement on the prohibition enforce
ment legislation will be reached by
Senate and House conferees before the
