Abstract
In this present paper we prove that every Lindelof space which has a perfect locally connected Hausdorff compactification, has property C. (This latter concept was introduced by R.F. Dickman Jr). We make clear that this class of Lindelöf spaces properly contains the class of paracompact, connected, locally compact and locally connected spaces, as well as the class of those spaces whose topology can be induced by a metric with property S (or S-metrizable spaces). In this fashion, we simultaneously generalize two previous results of Dickman on spaces with property C. The use of Wallman basis with certain connectedness properties turns out to be a very convenient tool in the construction of locally connected compactifications as well as in characterizing S-metrizable spaces.
