SMYRNA TOWN COUNCIL MATTERS.

Another application for Chief of-Po-
lice had come into the hands of one of
the COuncilmen, but nothing was done
with it. There was such a small rem

barely quorum, that hardly anything
could be done in the matter. and in view
OF this fact, Councilman Anthony made
a motion. that as so few of the Conn
cllmeu were present, he was in favor
OF not doing anything with the appli-
cation for Chief Police, but tbOuDbt
1t best to defer the reading of the an
plication before this meeting. He was
OF the opinion that it should be held
up until the next meeting night, when
1t was hoped that all the CounciImeu
would be present and proper action
could be taken with all applications in
hand.
On motion, Councilman Anthony's
suggestion was adopted, and the appli-
cation was not read but deferred until
the next meeting of the Town Council.
There being no further business,
Council adjourned.

CONTRACT AWARDED BY HOSE COMPANY.
W. 3. Megear Will Furnish Our Firemen With
New Rubber Coats and Boots.

At a meeting of the Citizens Hose
Company of Smyrna Monday evening,
the bids for refurnishing the Fire De-
partment with thirty new coats and
boots was considered, and by a vote of
the members present was awarded to
Mr.. W. B. Megear of this town for
So. go per suit.
The action taken to reconsider the
bid was due to Misunderstanding en-
tirely, and Notwithstanding that Mr..
W. b. Megear had submitted bid
which would have been a saving of
$24.OO to the company he contract
was awarded to an out-of-town firm.
This naturally created much adverse
sentiment, especially when the Hose
Company was depending on the town
for donations to meet the expense on
improvements. Consequently a meet
ing was called for Monday evening,
and as soon as the members had gotten
thorough understanding of the
nature of the bids, they reconsidered
their action of last week and award ed
the contract to Mr.. Megear as above
stated. The Hose Company will
hardly have the ready money in hand
to pay for the suits, and they will be
glad to receive donations from anyone
to help them out.

MOVEMENT FOR PREVENTING SMALLPOX.
Local Board Of Health Will Co operate With
Town Council For Preventing Epidemic.

There is a movement on foot, by
which the Board of Health and the
Smyrna Town Council may likely take
some action to prevent smallpox from
entering the town if possible. The
plan suggested is that the Board of
Health order a general vaccination of
the school children and others out of
school as well. In cases where chill
dren are unable to pay for the vaccina-
tiOn, the Town Council will likely as
sist them.
There has not been the slightest
alarm IN the community over small
pox, and not case has been reported
anywhere in the neighborhood. but
the Board of Health and the Town
Council, feel it sense of duty to take
the necessary precautions, and they
are being commended on all sides for
their action.
The State Board of Health has re-
quested meeting of the Kent County
Levy Court to take some action in
reference to preventing an epidemic of
smallpox in the county The disease
is most prevalent in West Dover Hun
dred.

THE LIGHTHOUSE ROAD CONTRACT.
Miles Dredging Company and the Kent
County Levy Court May Compromise.

H"'y Ivy SOutt way SOulpTOmiSe.
The Kent County Levy Court dis
cussed the bill of the Miles Dredging
Company for repairing the Bombay
Hook Lighthouse road at their last
meeting.
The company had contracted to work
for 40 days for $45 per day, but stop
ped after having worked for a few
days. The question at issue was the
amount due on the work that had been
performed, the court objecting to the
payment of the sum asked. A repre-
sentative of the company said it would
rather lose the whole amount than
have to sue for it. He was told that the
court would pay reasonable sum. A
committee was appointed to effect a
compromise.

Rof's Great Spell.

At the Pythian banquet the other even
respond to a toast "The Band" 1t was
agreed without dissenting voice that no
such a grand spell for the Carson Band
was ever made. He turned loose facts
and figures that astonished a good many
people. He showed that the Band was
not paying a dollar To any individual
member, except the salary of its leader.
The organization paid all of its earnings
into general fund and this money was
kept IN the Bank. 1t went to sick mem
bers when necessary and to the families
of sick members. 1t was seldom neces-
sary to use it in this way, but when it
was the money was ready.
Some years ago when one of the mem
bers died, the Band took its fund out of
the house owned by the member when he
died, and this left his widow free from
worry on that score.
It was IA beneficiary organization in
that respect. 1t charged for its services
when hired and money thus earned, be
side going to assist members in sickness,
went for instruments and uniforms. No
individual member not in sickness ever
got dollar. By this means the public
got free concerts and the town Of Carson
| was known all over the Coast as having
one of the best of bands.
Rolf was interrupted with frequent APP
plause and many people who supposed

institution were agreeably surprised.
