WHY NOT RArTFY 1T?

MT is dlclt to conceive why the Delaware Legislature
hesitates or refuses TO rafy the circular boundary
line between this State and Pennsylvania in view OF the
fact that by such ratification Delaware would gain ap-
proxmatey 5000 acres OF valuable land in the neighbor
hood OF Caymont while It would lose only 1000 OF
ordinary farm land up to the north and northwest OF
Newark
It will be recalled by those interested the matter that
1893 joint commission OF the two States This line
Its work ratified by the Pennsylvania Legislature in
1897 but It ratified by the Delaware Legs-
lature by Congress- both Of which, many persons
hold. must act before Il becomes the legal boundary.
The commission which superiniended the running Of the
line composed Of such representative Thomas
r. Bayard Wayne MacVeigh and r. E. Monaghan. Colonel
Hodgkins OF the head in the United States Coast
and Geodetic Survey, the line, which marked by
expensive and permanent monuments.
The circular line never had been before since

Therefore the old line is only traditional and there
Is permanent record OF it either the ground in

is felt that between two great States such agran
anomaly should be recli1ed the generation
that the line will have passed along and with
less and knowledge OF the history Of this ongstand
ing controversy it win become harder and harder
It right in the future.
With Delaware having much to gain and little u
lose this Delaware Legislature should raty the
the joint commission Of 1897 and give Congress oppor
tunty to act in the matter.

PAYMENT SOON
TO RAILROADS
Mellon Preparing to Dis
burse $4OO, 100000 Under
Special Bill
GOOD EFFECT
is EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, March 16.-It
was reported yesterday that Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Mellon will
shortly begin partial payments to
the railroads. under the Govern
ment guarantee provided In the
h-Cummins Transportation act,
for the first six months after the re-
turn Of the roads to their owners.
The payments. 1t is said, will run
into many millions, the amounts
now due being estimated at approx
mately $4OO,OOO,O0O, and it is
thought that they will materially
aid the railroads in tiding over the
emergency in which they find them
selves. because OF their heavy
charges and the fall-off in business.
Also. it is thought by business
people and others here that the
payments to the railroads, aiding
them in meeting their fixed charges
and their accumulated debts, will
effect a highly favorable influence
upon business in general. Aid to
the railroads in financing will have
directly beneficial effect upon
many lines Of business, it is be
heved. and will indirectly benefit all
business through the creation OF an
encouraged sentiment.
The matter of making partial pay
ments to the railroads, under the
guarantee in the Transportation act.
was brought to a head just before
the~close of the Wilson administra-
ton. The total payments under
the guarantee, it is calculated, will
reach S5OO.OOO,OOO or more. Much
accounting was necessary before the
total amounts due could be ascer-
tanned, the roads said they could not
afford to wait, and there ensued
litigation and Congressional action
to obtain part Of the money.
