There is a general inclination to
better the conditions of the public
school buildings in all parts of Del
aware and especially in Kent and
Sussex counties. Selbyville is pre-
pairing to build a building and finish
it with modern furniture to cost
about S4, 500. Dagsboro has re-
Gently built large building, Reho-
both is building a brick four-room
structure to cost Sc, OOO Houston
is building new building in Kent
county that will cost nearly 81,
when furnished, and other plac es are
making improvements to buildings
needing repairs.
Fortune smiles upon few men as
it has upon former Senator J. Frank
Alice since he returned from office
at Washington. He is vice-president
of the Bay State Gas Company, and
is interested daily with Thomas
W. Lawson in pushing his stock and
in the coalition with the new Lawson
movement of National stock. "
1t is said on good authority that the
former Senator came home last week
$50, 600 to the good by reason of the
striking advance in Bay State stock
anfter the company was freed from
the burden of its receivership. On
Saturday it was stated that he came
home from a week-rest, with $50, 900
additional profit. Former Sheriff
Edward Baker also closed out
block, thus advancing stock and
realized fine bag of money, closing
at $1.25. There was a general
reaching out to buy this stock after
Mr.. Baker took his profits last week.
The Senator's good fortune indicates
that there are some things that pay
better than remaining in politics.
