Of this city is installing an ice-mak-
ing plant at the New Castle County

Finn farm is planted in early vege-
tables while the Del Castle farm has
been planted in late crops.

to rescind its orders to the carmen.

that the Board of Public Utility
Commissioners has no authority to
regulate street car traffic on the

control of any sort over any vehicu-

car traffic to give the public safe and
Iacequate service, as, they maintained,
they were endeavoring to do in the
