MAY IA, 1910
With Elaborate
Ceremonies
Special Meeting OF Council

GGa,liReeii4r ne ~ Spec:a SESSION. on
Monday evening. The main btfsnANe S
was the arrangement OF the Depart
mentS. 1t has been decided to run
each department as a separate busi-
ness proposition and by SO doing it is
promised that this viii put the town
on a business bass, so that we can
know just how we stand, somcth.ng we
have never known before.
another piece of business taken up
aud thoroughly discussed was the pro
position made by the Elk River Heat.
gh, and Power Company. to take en-
tire charge oi our plant here and fur
nish the town light at 4 cents per X.
". The Elk River people claim thi,
will be saving to the town. but the
majority were unwilling to enter into
such aN agreement until comprehen-
sive expense test OF our plant had leen
made.
DIR. Steele and Mr. Rose. rew,y
elected members refused to vote on
this until they had this information.
Prof Freuderbcrgcr' report was cited
in favor OF using the town plant-it
maintaining according to 10 or II
day test that light could be produced
at the switch board for little over :,
cents per X. w Those in favor OBJ
iected to this as evidence as they
claimed it was only a theoretical test,
made under best possible conditions,
and would not work out in practice.
One oi the main objections raised
to the Elk River proposition was II 1t
did not prove satisfactory, the town
would be compelled to pay ior addl-
iona. machinery installed by the Elk
3iver pcoprc. 1t was decided to make
the test oi our own plant and II II was
.ouud it cost more than the Elk 5,
would charge. that Council will give
hem thee months trial In talking

Buy A Flag For Yourself, The Town
And The Cause

The month OF May has been set aside
by the Delaware Anti-Iuberculosis So
tiet1 -as The. r!trie in-a a sp,c@2 cam =
paien for the raising OF funds to carry
on the war against the Great White
Plague. Their objec, is 10 have every.
house in the State floating flag on
Memorial Day, the flag special one,
which has been purchased from mem-
Der oi their company OF volunteer
workers. This work has been under
taken in our town by twelve school,
children We hope that Newark
share i'll the outcome will be credltabe
and the young folks in charge WIFI
meet with hearty response wherever
they go.
When we consider the fact that one
seventh OF the deaths i'll our land are
result OF some form OF this disease
and that the pity of it all is that it is
preventable, it seems as though our
intelligence demands an awakening.
Such sanatoria as Delaware is aiming
to establish exist in Massachusetts,
which State probably leads in this
work. The average length OF stay is
six months to year. From sixty to
seventy per cent. OF those in the early
stage of the disease leave the sana-
forum at the end OF that time, appar-
ently cured.
| The following have been authorized
to sell the flags Harvey Ferguson,
Paul Lovctt. Rodney Miller, Bond
Brown. Sylvia Billet, Harry Herb
ener, Edythe Whittingham, Charlie
Moore. John Hopkins, May Lovett,
| Knowles Bowen, Mary Stewart.

A Good Suggestion

y citizen Of the town, a man OF wide
experience, public spirited interested
in all things for the upbuilding OF the
town and its institutions makes this
suggestion that some OF the Engi-
neerng students under the supervision
oi the Professor in charge OF that work
make the necessary survey OF the town
Tor the Sewer Engineer to estimate,
approximate cost of putting in a sewer
here. and present it to the town.
We are sure that this would put the
college in a pleasant light to our town
people; it would show an interest in
the welfare of the town, proving at
the same time that the institution is
turning men out fully capable OF prac-
teal work which too often is disputed
by some not acquainted with Delaware
record.
Again, student could not choose a
more practical or more popular sub
Ject for thesis than this. Such prac
teal interest in the town would prove
healthy. Saving the $500 that has been
asked for it could then be used to fur
thering the objeH in view. 1t is
doubtful II that amount ,aould be suf1i
cient to deiray all the expenses toward
securing the information we are seek
ing. This is chance for some good
work that will be heartily appreciated.
In addition to above suggested. we
have been informed that survey OF
the town is in existence. and with it
practically all the details necessary. II
such be the case, we hope and fully ex-
pect they will be forthcoming. Then
the money subscribed may be used for
any additional information that may be
needed
This Improvement is something tfa'
all must agree is needed Let us have
all the facts we can get, and push thia
thing alGnr il is too big a PROPOSE
ton to go into hastily But it is time
to begin. Where is the survey?

ing colored woman, he received this
detailed iniormation She was 80
years Of age: married when she was
10; has IL children, the oldest being
e6 years of age. With such compre-
hensive data as this, DR.. Ball will be
able to feel the political pulse OF the
State and can readily cake calcu'a-
tons as to his chance OF not going to

An automobile may be all right for
town election. but for cross coun-

A Timely ~.

Newark has many enterprises Ga
hand, and all suggested SO lar have
been good ones and must in time be
realized. But one thing that is of
serious import is our fire nghtlng ap-
paratuE We have good company
and it has always proved effective But
rhis town has never had a fire of any
consequence, which perhaps accounts
for our negligence i'll this matter. with
Our scarcity OF water and only about
10 pounds pressure, it would not be
able to ctIG with fire of any seri-
Gus proportions. What we need is am
engine which would make possible ef-
iective use OF every gallon OF water,
and at an increased pressure OF 40 to-
so pounds. One acquainted with our
facilities here said it would hardy be
possible to throw a stream of water
over some OF the houses above the B.
and O. II such is the case wha, would
happen ii one OF our hotels or school
buildings or the opera house were to
catch fire.
There has been great deal talk
about the company having suitable
quarters on Main street. and it is
worthy OF support. but an engine
would be far more practical invest
ment 1t should claim the attention of
every property owner Ii each prop
erty owner were to pay a small amount
III rats to the value OF property held.
an cnslle fully capable OF handling
our water supply It the best advantage
could be easily secured.
This is something that towns us
uallN lock into lust alter fire has
swept the community.
Let us take timely warning, A fire
started on Main street would sweep
the town and our company would prac-
tically be at its mercy.

sang to a more appreciatve audience
or to greater and better and nober Ell
lect than when she appeared on Tues
day before the convicts OF the United
States peniteiitiary in Atlanta. For
them she sang the old songs-"Annie
Laurie, "Suwanee River" My Old
Kentucky Home" and Home, Sweet
Home. b the time she finished the
last song, says a dispatch from At
anita, the audience. composed OF near
~ 900 convicts. seemed to be in one
great sob, and tears were streaming
down the checks OF Miss Farrar." And
The warden oi the penitentiary is quot
ed as saying that her singing was
worth more than hundred sermons" F"
The old. familiar heart songs swake keu-

LOADING ORE WITH MAGNET.
New Labor Saving Device Found Prse-

4 most interesting mechanical labor

magnet. BY its use two men can do
the work Of 20 OF more working by

hour can be transferred from the cars

Al distance the machine looks Ike

cular in shape. three or four feet in
diameter and about foot thick. This
