FRANK P. EWING'S FINE
RECORD AS AN ASSESSOR

Frank p. Ewing. who has made such a
fine record as assessor for Brandywne
hundred. is practically assured OF a re-
nomination by the Republicans on Satur-
day next, which means his reelection.
Mr.. Ewings record is satisfactory to the
property owners of Brandywine hundred.
It is important that he should be re-
elected because an entirely new ASSESS
ment Is TO be made and he is well quali-
fed 10 make It because OF his experience
in the office and because he is practical
carpenter and contractor. In addition, Il
is customary to re-elect the assessor in
that hundred for a second term. Mr..
Ewings name was mentioned early in the
campaign as candidate for Levy Court
Commissioner from Che Third Levy Court
district but he declined to be a candidate
for the Levy Court. The property owners
persuaded him 20 again be a candidate
for assessor because they want an experi-
enced man to make the general assess
ment.a

All Vessels Passing up River to be

A signal victory for the commerce Of
the Delaware River was gained yester-
day when the Maritime Exchange was
advised that night boarding Of vessels
at the National Quarantine Station.
Reedy Island. would commence i'm
mediately This change was requested
by a delegation Of marine and CONNER
cial men who inspected the Reedy
Island station in company with Surgeon
General Wyman several months ago.
1t was then explained 10 the head Of
the Public Health and Marine Hos
pital Service that continuous boarding
Of vessels was urgently needed. Surg
con General Wyman assured the dele
CATION that the matter would receive
his earnest attention.
Shipping men said Yesterday that It

WILL DELIVER GRAIN
ELEVATOR THIS WEEK

The new floating elevator promised
grain men by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is al last ready for delivery. and
win probably leave the yards Of The
Harlan and Houingsworlh Corporation
this week.
Such an elevator has been badly
needed in Philadelphia Tor years. and
this one was ordered only after the
Commercial Exchange had made re-
peated requests for additional faclii-
ties from the Girard Point Storage
Company. When the contract was let
it was promised that the elevator would
be delivered in July, but failure on the
part Of a Chicago firm TO supply tho
machinery kept the builders from going
ahead with the work.
Yesterday a successful dock trial was
made and all that remains before the
vessel is placed in commission is
prompt delivery Of two grain chutes
from Chicago. The elevator has an
hourly capacity Of 10000 bushels.
