Unable to Make Collections
Because of Storm

notwithstanding the snow and the in
ability of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment to make the weekly collection Of
ashes this morning, many complaints were
telephoned to the departments Offices at
Sixth and King streets.
A woman who manages an apartment
house became furious when told there
would be no collection OF ashes to-day.
whats the Street and Sewer Depart
ment for, anyway?" she demanded over
the phone.
You've got to take my ashes, that's
all there is about f. You ought to send

house"
other equally unreasonable complaints
were made.
street Commissioner Frank w. Pierson
said this morning that the collection of
ashes would be discontinued indefinitely.
The department IS centering it's whole ef-
forts on clearing the streets in the busi-
ness district
Many householders set their ashes out
as usual this morning The cans and boxes
are likely to become sidewalk fixtures for

HELP FOR THE
COLORED SCHOOLS
African School Society Informs
Board of Education Of
Its Purpose
GOOD WISHES FOR
THE BOARD PRESIDENT

The Board OF Education was twenty
minutes late in convening last night,
due to the fact that there was no quor-
um present earlier in the evening.
Secretary Guthrie read an agreement
between the African School Society. Of
Wilmington. the Security Trust and
Safe Deposit Company. and the Board
of Education. which the board on mo-
ton. accepted. From the form of the
agreement IL appears that this society.
which has for its object the promotion
of education among persons of African
descent, has a fund OF $0250, invested
in various securities and S79O.42 in
cash, $3.50 of which is part of the prin-
cipal OF the fund, and S240.42 accrued
interest. The Security Trust Company
agreed 10 act as trustee OF the fund,
and to apply the income from Il to the
purposes mentioned, by the annual dis
trihution OF the income in the follow
ing proportions. to these benehciaries.
Delaware State College for Colored
Students nine shares; Howard School
Kindergarten eight shares; Thomas
Garrett kindergarten, five shares. II
appears that for some time past this
organization has been paying 20 Miss
Edwina b. Kruse about 5000 annually
for the support of the Howard School
kindergarten.
Mr. O'Donnell presented a resolution
extending the thanks Of the Board to
DR.. Evan c. Shortlidge, the president
for his courtesies and extending best
wishes for the new year. The resolu-
tion was adopted.
The committee on fuel. heat and
ventilation reported that the boiler at
No. II School had gone out OF COM
mission. and IL was necessary to take
the boiler from No . School and in
stall Il in No. a.
Bids were received for the installa-
tion OF cement steps TO replace the
wooden ones on the fire escape at
No. 2s School. but the board, feeling
that this was not the proper weather
in which TO do cement work. did not
/ open them, and they win be returned
II was decided however. to repair
the steps. and TO provide some kind of
protection to the children using the
