DELAWARE REPUBLICAN GAINS
National Committee Allows State Two
Additional Delegates To Convention

National Committee Allows State Two
Additional Delegates To Convention
Delaware having been allowed two |
additional delegates, republican party |
leaders seemed to be at sea as to how |
the reapportionment will be made. The
matter will doubtless be threshed out
and decided at the State convention
next May or June, when national con-
vention delegates will be chosen. Pre-
Hminary discussion of the subject
may be had by the Republican State
Committee, however, to give the con-
vention working basis for making
the reapportiOnment. State commit
teemen spoken to on the subject were
not prepared to express an opinion.
At present-and this has been the
rule for some time-Delawar has six
delegates. While there are actually
four political subdivisions in the State
Wilmington, rural New Castle coun-
ty, Kent county and Sussex county
the present apportionment is on the
basis of three subdivisions. Under
this plan, although the whole of New
Castle county is treated as one sub
division, the representation is divided,
one of the delegates being apportioned
to Wilmington and the other to rural
New Castle county. Some of the up
State Republicans are suggesting that
Wilmington and rural New Castle
each be given an additional delegate,
thus placing each of the four political
subdivisions on an equal footing. Some
down State leaders thought the two
additional delegates may be chosen at
large, at least until some other plan
can be considered and worked out. The
additional allowed and the discussion
over them is the result of the oficia
announcement by the Republican Ma
tional Committee last week in Wash.
ington that the number of delegate.
to the Republican national convention
in 1924 will be 1,036, in accordanc,
with the new plan of apportionment Il
the States and Congressional districts
adopted by the committee following
the last national convention. The pur
pose of the reapportionment is Il
make the number Of delegates from
each state conform more nearly TO tn
number of Republican voters and ma
terially to reduce the size of delega
tions from certain Southern State
which heretOfore have welded an in
fuence out of ali proportion to tn
number Of Republican votes they hav
cast in an election.

The sooner Mt. Vernon Street
and North Street are opened to
the Boulevard the better. These
will aid Commerce Street, al
ready narrow, to take care
of the traffic. At any event
a traffic warning should be plac-
ed at the Commerce Street in
tersection with the Boulevard
so as to safeguard the public.
Let us have sufficient streets,
atleast Mt. Vernon and South
in addition to Commerce Street,
open to the Boulevard with the
names of the street on signs and
the town of Smyrna fully ex-
plotted to the travelling public.
It would not be amiss to open a
new street from the Boulevard
diagonally with the corner of
Main Street at Glenwood Aven-
ue near residence of Frank Nc
Cawley. This will allow traffic
from the north to enter the
business sections of Main Street.
Traffic from the south already
has access to Main Street by
way of Lake Como Causeway.
These matters should engage
the early attention of Town
Council for the good of Smyrna.

TO DYNAMITE THE COFFERDAM

Piling Driven so Deep at Delaware
City Canal it Cannot Now be Moved
The cofferdam which was built at
the other end of the C. & d. canal at
Delaware City when the cut was made
through the basin to allow the dredges
to enter will have to be dynamited to
allow additional dredges to pass in
the work on the lower level. The
canal lock was not wide enough to
permit the boats to pass through
which required the special entrance
to be built. Later when the cut was
damned off the piling was driven so
deep and made so fast that it has
been found impossible to pull them
out and dynamite is to be used to
loosen up the dam so that it can be
opened again.
