AT the meeting of the Lev,
Court last Tuesday at Georgetown
that body was reorganized for 1910
by electing Thomas A. Williams O
the Second District, president, ano
Daniel J. Dayton, attorney. An
effort was made to elect some one
TO the Office Of Road Engineer, but
nothing was accomplished. The
attorney asked for more time 10
consider the laws which once were
in use that permitted the several
districts to raise special moneys for
bettering the roads.
The new law has a clause in it
which says: that all laws conflict
ing with this law, are hereby re-
pealed. The new law also saws
that "all roads now built, or here
after constructed, shall be under
the joint control of the Levy Court
and the Road Engineer and that
no money shall be paid out without
the approval of the latter officer"
No matter what construction is put
on the law by the attorney for the
Levy Court, the County Treasurer
would not have the right to paw
any money out for work done on the
roads without the approval of the
Road Engineer, and his bondsmen
would surely be held accountable
for this act. The people know that
road work can not be done at this
season, but they are willing to let
those in authority have all the time
to work out the situation 1
but there is one thing the people /
will demand and it is, the wiping
out of the old system of working
our roads, which was fully half
wasted, and that practical system
be organized under the laws pro-
vided by the legislature.

THE initial number of the New
ark Post published at Newark, Del,
reached our table last Monday.
Everett c. johnson is the editor
responsible for its being, and he
starts out with a crisp way of say
ing things which should win a place
for the new paper. The field for
newspapers in Delaware is over
crowded already, but there is al
ways room for the one willing to
work for success, and only the fu-
ture can tell in what measure this
will be achieved. As a matter of
fact there is more papers printed in
the towns Of this State, than can
possibly get profit out Of the la
Dor necessary, and if they were
consolidated, and operated on bus
mess principles, the projectors and
the towns themselves, would be
better off for this having been
done. The Post at Newark has a
good opportunity to make good, 2
and demonstrate the fact that a live
paper can build up a profitable
business. 1t has our best wishes,
Tor we already have too many
sheets which are simply printed" 9

Middlebury village Improvement.

The entertainment committee of the
improvement society gave a very sue
cessful dance and card party in the
town hall last week. 1t was enjoyed
by nearly a hundred of the friends and
well-wishers of the society and $48
cleared. The committee is to be con-
graduated on the success of an affair
due entirely to their efficient manage
ment. Twice the number present
could have been accommodated and
would have been gladly welcomed. The
society has undertaken a much needed
and very extensive improvement in its
work in the High school park which is
being done under the expert advice of
Mr.. Edgerton of Albany, well-known
landscape gardener, and being over
seen by DR.. Martin who very generous
ly gives his time and attention to carry
on the work properly.
The plan of the executive board is to
try and raise funds for the work by
giving monthly entertainments to which
all are invited and it is earnestly de-
sired that every one do their part, for
all must take hold and support the
ladies in their commendable efforts if
the cause of village improvement is to
prosper in our midst. Every public
spirited citizen should be on the look
out for their notices and encourage by
their presence or gifts the entertain
ment committees work.
The voluntary tax of one dollar a
year should be gladly contributed by
very many more than now support the
society by subscription.
A dollar sent to the treasurer, Mrs. C.
A. Hadley, is welcome at any time and
makes the sender, if a woman, men,
Der; if man, an honorary member of
the society for the current year, the
members mourning no further obliga-
ton save what is entirely voluntary.

A LUCKY STAR

At the Auditorium. on the 25th
and Goth, Charles Frohman will pre-
sent William Collier in the new
comedy. "A Lucky tSar." There is
probably no other comedian today
who brings as much wholesome en-
joyment to his admirers as does Mr..
Collier. His comedy is invariably
of the better sort. clean, wholesome
and thoroughly enjoyable. His play,
"A Lucky Star" is by Anne Craw-
ford Flexner, founded upon G. n.
and A. M. Williamson novel, THE
Motor Chaperon." 1t is in three acts
and half and has to do with Ro-
land Lester Starr. a rich American
artist touring Holland, who hires n
motor boat, only to find that it al
ready belongs to fair American
girl. With her half sister she comes
on board to take possession Just as
Starr is about to sail. Explanations
follow.
