A Chanee that Affeets Our interests.

Gen. William f. Smith, United States en-
gineer in charge OF river and harbor work for
the Delaware and Maryland peninsula, has
resignedand he has been ordered by the Sec
rotary of War to turn his affairs over to the
government engineer in Philadelphia and
Baltimore. That means that the office in
Wilmington is to be abolished. Gen. Smith
has been in poor health for some time and
for that reason decided to relinquish his posi-
ton, and his resignation has been accepted,
to take effect July lst lie has been given
leave of absence covering the months of May
and June.
Under the order accepting the resignation
of Gen. Smith, the General is instructed to
turn over all Of his work and effects pertain
| ing to the Delaware River side of his district
/ to Col. c. W. Raymond, the government en-
gineer for the district of Eastern Pennsylva-
mia, station in Philadelphia, and that per-
tanning to the Chesapeake Bay and tributar-
les to Col. Oswald Fl. Ernst, of Baltimore, Nd,
the government engineer in charge Of work
| in that district. This arrangement will di-
vide the work of the Peninsula between the
Philadelphia and Baltimore offices.
The Wilmington office was established in
1881, with Gen. Smith in charge, and he has re-
manned in charge ever since. Formerly the
work was looked after by the Philadelphia
and Baltimore offices, but it became so i'm
portant that it : as deemed necessary to have
an independent district for the Peninsula
Gen. Smith became thoroughly familiar witt
tine work and accomplished the very bes
results possible with the funds at his com

Just ten days more of School for the
children of Milford before they close
for the school year of 1901 and, at
meeting of the Board of Education
Wednesday night, the finance COM
mittee informed the members that 1t
would require $500 to close up all ac-
counts for the year. The treasurer, re-
ported $500 in the treasury, and moth
ing in hands of the Collector, VIM. E
Lank.
The Board sent for Mr. Lank and in
structed him that he would not only be
held to a strict accountability for the
tax put in his hands for collection, but
a demand was then and there made for
the full amount of school taxes, to be
paid, on or before May 24th, Mr.. Lank
will now be compelled to make the
tardy school tax payers to get ready
quick.
The cost of process will in many cases
almost double the amount Of tax due
but there has been entirely too much
leniency extended, and a disposition to
impose on the courtesy.

his second term as teacher here, and

tiOnery on the last day of School. He
leaves for New York in a few days.
A frost caused fruit growers some
concern this week, but no serious harm
has resulted.
