Uneasy Over The Outlook

A contest has begun between the
farmers and fruit growers Of the
Peninsula with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, to shelve
cars again this year, although the
company has not done SO for sometime.
The Company in turn, has positively
refused. Then the growers, in order
to be able to put two peach baskets in
a special crate made to hold them,
describe a decrease in freight rate
proportionate to tine cost of shelving
cars by the Railroad Company. The
Committee on Transportation began
its interviews with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company at Broad Street
Station Monday, and will announce
what results were accomplished.
Meantime both the growers and
/ packers have become uneasy over the
outlook. The peach baskets will
either have to be done away with or
the farmers must provide the special
crate to hold two upright baskets.
The committee on the part of the
growers will hold another meeting in
Dover on Friday when they will make
report of their efforts and will have
Charles f. Kingston the Division
Freight Agent Of the Company tC
address them. The growers have
strengthened their Transportation
Committee by adding James 7. Shall
cross of Middletown who has beer
made permanent Chairman of the
Committee. With the outlook fOl
fruit so promising, the growers are
anxious to get the transportation
question settled as soon as possible.

Lee had signed, Mr.. Dickerson was
unable to have the required number
Of signatures of free holders to his

he withdrew his application for a

STRANGE against it. The Law and Or

Of the license on four grounds set
forth in the remonstrance. namely
That his application did not contain
the necessary number OF names by
freeholders; that the place required
more than the ordinary police protec-

BUILDING FOR
SMYRNA BEFORE CONGRESS
SENATOR RICHARDSON INTRO
DUCES BILL PROVIDING $4,000
Building to Have Fire-Proof Vaults,
Heating and Ventilating Apparatus
and will be used for Postoffice.

Senator Harry A. Richardson has
introduced in the United States Senate,
a bill providing for the purchase
of a site and the erection of federal
building for Smyrna. The bill
calls for an appropriation not to
exceed $40, 900. In a letter which
we have received from Senator Rich
ardson he says: ''The measure will
have my earnest attention and a
strong effort will be made to get it
favorably reported from the Commit
tee on Public Buildings and Grounds.
The bill which was read twice and
referred to the Committee above
stated, is as follows: "Be it enacted
by the Senate and House of Repres-
America in Congress assembled. That
| the Secretary of the Treasurer be, and
is hereby authorized and directed to
purchase or acquire, by condemnation
proceedings or otherwise, a site for
and cause to be erected thereon a
suitable building including fire-proof
vaults, heating and ventilating ap-
paratus, and approaches, for the use
and accommodation of the United
States Postoffice and other govern.
ment offices in the city of Smyrna
and the State of Delaware, the cost
of said building including vaults
heating and ventilating apparatus
and approaches, complete, not t.
exceed the sum of forty Thousand
dollars (S4OO, co. }" The bill is know
as Senate Bill No. 615O.
A federal building for Smyrna ha
been talked of for several years
At the time an appropriation wa
granted Milford, Senator Alice sue
ceeded in gaining recognition fo
; Smyrna but the bill failed passag
and was lost in the shuttle incident t
the closing session of Congress. TIL
S announcement that Senator Richardso
| has taken up the subject with tn
intention of carrying it to a success
full completion, cannot but be CRAFTY
ing to every citizen of Smyrna, WI
sees the need Of better postoffiC
quarters aside from the pride
n having a handsome $40, 900 FEEDER
Building. AS to the question
" a site, there are a number of plac
that might be considered and whit

a the question of site should not
