hand. In order to have an opening bid, South probably holds the ace of diamonds, the king of hearts. and either the king and queen of clubs or the ace of clubs. The de- clarer can easily read thsA the deuce of diamonds. is a singleton. The diamond will be returned and ruffed, which will be two tricks lost for the declarer. He must find the king of hearts in the South hand to make his contract and at the same time create an entry in dum- my. r,ss..J
 Therefore the 10 of diamonds is played from dummy to force the ace from the South hand. When South plays the ace. declarer drops the king,, but South returns the nine of diamonds and if West plays small, he will be unable to make his contract. Even though he knows the diamond Is going to be ruffed, he must play the queen in order to create an entry into dunn my. North ruffs with the three of spades and dummy plays the three of diamonds. The ace of clubs IS returned by North, West trumping with the 10 of spades. Three rounds of spades are led which pick up all of the opponents trump.
 By unlocking with the king and queen of diamonds, the declarer is now able to get into the dummy by returning the seven of diamonds which dummy wins with the jack. The 10 of hearts Is led from dunn my. South covers with the king, declarer wins with the ace and re- turns the queen of hearts. picking up the nine in the South hand. The three hearts and the jack Of spades are all good in the declar- er's hand and he has made his con- tract of five spades.
 If the declarer had failed to drop his king and queen of diamonds on the first two tricks. retaining the seven for a re-entry. he would have been forced to lead away from the ace, queen of hearts and would necessarily have lost another trick.

sage of the bill were Gerrish Gassa-
way, manager of the Chamber OF
Commerce; George c. Herring, attor-
ney of Wilmington, who said he
helped to draw the bill; James A.
Hirons, a contractor of Dover, and
Senator Van SAINT.
While several members suggested
that any one present in opposition to
the bill be heard the only one out-
side of the Legislature to take the
floor against the measure was for
mer Representative J. Edward Nc
Nabb, of Wilmington.
The purpose of the bill is to make
it unlawful for any State, county or
municipal government to award Il
contract for certain public work to
any contractor from outside the
State. The original bill does not in
clude road work but the Van Solver
amendment went further and ex-
cludes certain Wilmington Water
Department and HarbOr Board con-
tracts from its provisions.
The Van Solver amendments, both
of which were unanimously adopted
define public buildings affected by
the bill and the work eliminated
from its provisions as follows:
public buildings shall refer TO
and mean any School Buildings,
State House, Court House, County
House, Arsenal, Prison, Jail, Work
house, State Hospital Building, State
Building or other State,
County or Municipal Building, but
shall not be construed to include
roads, highways. causeways, sewers,
water mains, drains, drainage sys-
TENS, bridges, culVerts or ViaductS, |
or buildings or structures required |
10 be specially designed and con
for water-treatment, StOr- |
age or distribution purposes under
he supervision of the Board of Wa
Ter commissioners of the City of
Wilmington, and shall not be con
strued To include the building of
NharVes, docks or other structures
'equired to be specially designed
md constructed for harbOr facili-
les under the supervision of the
Board of Harbor Commissioners OF
he City of Wilmington"
The bill not only provides that the
general contract must be given to a
'esident contractor but also that the
and architects
must be residents. The penalties
provided in the bill are fines up to
Il 900 for violations, Imprisonment
# not more than six months or both.
The arguments used by the speak
rs for the bill were substantially
he same as presented in the Sen
tie when that body passed the bill.

lents of Representative Van Sew
