that question and recommends that
provision be made for federal control

Secretary Thompson Says Or

DECREASE GRADUALLY
OPTION COMMITTEE OFFICIAL
SAYS lNToxlcATioN CASES
WILL BE REDUCED AFTER THE
SALOON Is eANISHED.

Secretary E. r. Thompson OF the
county local option organization stat
ed yesterday that should the present
temperance campaign result in the ell
limitation of the saloons from Wayne
county it would not mean that intoxi-
Gated people would be unusual sights
on the streets of this city. In fact, he
stated. for a few months after the sa-
looms had closed more drunken men
would be seen in the city than for
years past.
intoxieation Expected.
Secretary Thompson stated that the
county temperance organization was
not laboring under the impression that
the closingy Of the saloons would mean
the elimination of drunkenness, but he
said the organization was confident
that the passing of the saloons would
result in a large decrease in intoxica-
ton and that the temptation of drink
would be removed from the coming
generations.
Many drinking men, Mr.. Thompson
stated, would purchase large quanti-
ties of liquor at cost prices when the
saloons of this county were closed
and. he said, there would be more or
less intoxication until these supplies
of liquor had been disposed of. This
subject will be touched upon by Judge
Blair of Portsmouth, O.. next Sunday
when he opens the temperance CAM
paign in this city. .
Favor Blind Tiger Law.
It would not be surprising if the
members OF the temperance organiza-
tion would lobby at the present legis-
lature against any amendment to the
blind tiger act. The leaders are op-
posed to any such action and believe
that the present law does not impose
any too severe sentence. In fact if the
law is repealed. they feel that the
county local option law will be weak
ened by lack of adequate legislation
against blind tigers. Mr.. Thompson
stated that the temptation to make a
little money by violation of the law
would appeal to many more strongly
if the only punishment was fine.
The jail sentence will prevent many
blind tigers in dry territory is the be-
lief of those who will probably lobby
for the present law.

Seven Banking institutions
Have Filed Their Bids
With the Auditor.
DEPOSITORY LAW GOOD ONE
BENEFITS OF THIS STATUTE
HAVE BEEN VERY EVIDENT To-
cALLY-TEN REPOSITORIES ARE
PROBABLE.

Sealed proposals for county depos-
its have been filed with the county
auditor by seven of the banking insti-
buttons of the county. At the present
time the funds are cared for by five
repositories but this year, it is prob
able double that number will be en-
trusted with the custody of the
county's money bags upon the pay
ment of the interest specified by law.
The proposals filed are from the Sec
ond and Union National banks of this
city and the banks at Greensboro. Will
liamsburg, Dublin, Hagerstown and
the Dickinson Trust company. 1t is
expected a proposal will be received
from the First National bank Of this
city tomorrow. and probably one from
the First National bank of Cambridge
City at the same time.
Ten Depositories.
1t is expected that each of the pre-
sent repositories will ask for more
money than was placed in their Gus.
tody during 1908. 1t is known that
more money will be sought in the az.
gregate than the county will have to
place on deposit. 1t is out OF the Ques-
ton for the banks in the smaller and
less remote towns of the county to ex-
pect any share Of the deposits that de-
mand q daily settlement. It would
not be possible for the county treas
urer to make an accounting with these
institutions each evening at closing
time.
Favor Depository Law.
The Repositories more remote will
be favored with the funds requiring a
less frequent accounting. These in
clude the Sarah Phillips and the South
End bridge funds. The latter has
about $4,000 in it. It Is a perman-
ent fund and will not be touched until
1t has accrued in sufficient amount to
pay for the construction of the pro-
posed bridge. The value of the deposit
tory law to the county has been very
evident locally. During the eleven
months it has been in operation, more
than 81 900 has been paid to the coun-
ty in interest on funds that formerly
drew interest for the treasurer only.

NEW BOARD WILL HOLD ITS

AND WILEY WILL BE ELECTED

When the board of county commits
oiOners meets in it's first session of the
year tomorrow it will be a new board.
The one absent member will be John
Dynes, representative OF the middle
district. He will succeeded by Barney
Lnderman Of Clay township. Dynes
will be missed greatly by all persons
who have had any dealings with the
board. He has served two terms Of
three years each and during that time
had gained large local acquaintance.
For the past two years he had been
president of the board.
Quiet But Efficient.
Never making any display or claim
OF haste. Dynes' most apparent char
acteristic as commissioner has been
his caYefulness. Never during his
presidency has the business of the
board been SO pressing, but he could
take time to examine minutely each
item on the bills presented for a share
Of the county's money. Dynes is with
out ostentation and makes no preten-
sions at being anything but farmer
and stock dealer. His shrewdness in
his own business made him an efficient
ohicer and there is none who have be-
come acquainted with him as a coSa-
missioner but regret his future absence

Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1909-04-07

Secretary H. B. Grieves and the
Street Committee of Smyrna Town
Council have paid visit to Winning
ton and Milford the past week in their
search of information and data con-
corning the building of permanent
streets They returned from both
places delighted with what they saw
and will make their report to Council
a its next session. If Smyrna is to
spend $25, 900 in bricking Main street,
the sending of this committee to make
an investigation is all to the good.
Had more investigation been made
when Commerce street was built and
the work put out at contract to an eX
perienced contractor, Smyrna might
have had much more to show for their
money than they have now. We
heartily commend the movement to
brick Main street. 1t is progressive
and up-tO-date. Main street is the
main thOroughfare for Smyrna and
should be improved with permanent
work. With this end in view the
Town Council cannot be too careful
IN the matter of getting information.
The expanding of so much money
should be done judiciously and to the
best advantage. In visiting other
towns and noting their experience,
Smyrna Council is on the right track
