SUSSEX REPORTS
TURKEYS SCARCE

BRIDGEVILLE. Nov. 12.With
Thanksgiving drawing near. turkeys
have never been so scarce as they are
this year. and il looks as II those who
have been depending on their turkey
sales would fall short. This section
has been noted for years as a home of
turkey farms. and in years previous
there have been always plenty on hand.
This year. however. the recent heavy
rains have killed off whole hocks OF
the young turkeys and as a result
there are few who have any Of them
Already they are being quoted at 25
cents a pound, with but few OF these
offers being accepted.
one Of the largest turkey raisers in
the section stated this week that tur-
KEYS would be scarce, owing 20 the
hard summer which they have under
gone. and the especiall- rainy spring,
which killed so many Of these delicate
fowl. Turkeys IRE one Of the hardest
fowl TO raise, and with just few
ready for the market it looks as II the
shipments would be small.

NO $500 A DAY FOR
COMMITTEE WORK
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.


DOVER. Nov. 12-County Solicitor
J. Hall Anderson gave an adverse YER
bal opinion yesterday on the practice
Of the Levy Courtmen taking SO per
diem for committee work.
The attorney gave the opinion that
when the Legislature raised the SAL
aries of Levy Courtmen from their
usual per diem allowance Of SO to $500
a year, that the salary was given in
lieu of all other expenses and time
spent in the service of the public. He
added however, that when a county
commissioner went to Wilmington or
distant place in the interests Of his
county, that he would have the right
TO add his travelling and boarding ex-
penses, but no per diem. In his opin-
ion a per diem charge by an official
who was already accepting a fiat sal
airy for his years work was unconsti-
tutional.
