Continued from page ].

Resolved. That the plan to build tho
Market street bridge. AZ hastily pro-
posed by the undisclosod advocates OF
that project, in not based upon sound
cnaineering and broadminded civic
planning principles; That IL VIII forever
perpetuate a railroad grade crossing
upon the principal business street OF
wilmington; that IL viii forever cut off
the parking development OF the city as
a whole. and end all possibility OF n
parking system from the oxisting
Rrandywtne Park casterly To The Del
aware river water front. and we re-
spectfully urge, before the Legislature
denies to post,rity the right to have
Wilmington of the future city OF
even propcr and full civic development
that this Legislature appoint a com
mission on city planning. to consider
all traffic and parking questions In
voIved. and that the building OF a new
bridge AT Market street he held In
abeynnce until at least one sincere ef~
fort In made to study and report upon
the questions involved. and that the
rebuilding Of said Market street bridge
can secure the support Of city. county.
