KEY NOTE SOUNDED FOR TOWN BEAUTIFUL

Frazer. row OF trees has been set
out, water connections have been
made and all the walks are to be ce-
ment. The houses, which are com
pleted, are unusually attractive, both
within and without. the arrangement
for convenience receiving as much con-
sderation as their beauty. Council
has received request for light which
is, present, under consideration.
The property owners have put in
sewer pipes which will carry all waste
water into the run.
Mr. Armstrong has laid 1000 feet OF
water pipes along Prospect avenue,
Wilbur street, and North avenue, to
the Creek road.
This old Creek road has only "
feet trackage. Mr.. Armstrong, to rem
edy this. has offered to give the Levy
Court land to make this 80 feet wide,
all along the property mentioned. The
Levy Court has promised to do this
and County Engineer Wilson has in
structed Mr.. Wilbur Wilson, Our town
engineer, to make the survev
Mr. Armstrong is deeply interested
in the development of this section,
which is so largely representative of
his own enterprise and hopes to see
all the ground terraced in the near
future
The only drawback to the complete
development of this part of the town
is the condition of the street known
as North College avenue from Cleve-
land avenue to Main street.
A movement was started by the
Town Council last spring to widen the
street from Main street to the B. & O.
Railroad. A communication was pre-
Sented to the COLLEGE Trustees ask
ing their cooperation. The request
was favorably received and a commit
tee was appointed to act with the
Council. As yet no decision has been
made. Through some petty legal tech
nicality the Committee has not given
the matter the hearty support that
was supposed. 1t necessitates cutting

away some trees, but conditions de-
appearance of the College grounds
would be greatly improved, as well as
adding to the value of the property be-
yond the railroad. The Street Com
mlttee has given the College Com
mittee the greatest consideration, not
wishing to antagonize their desires
III any way. In view of the fact that
the college pay no taxes it is expect
ed that they do their utmost toward
complying with the towns wishes and
do their part in the develonment of
the interest of all.
This street terraced with concrete
pavements, from Main street to North
avenue, the grounds of the Jacob
Thomas plant improved, would made
an addition to the town that would
add greatly to Our idea of the Town
Beautiful.
Then from North avenue UP the
Greek road lies the possibility OF one
of the most beautiful drives in the
country. The fine trees with which
the slopes are wooded, the beeches and
buttonwoods that overhang the stream
surround us with a beauty which it
takes Nature years to provide. The
delicacy OF the ferns along the banks
fills us with delight; the rocks add
ruggedness, while the rustino of the
stream and the rustling of the bran
ches combine in a melody which is
truly forest hymn The road curves
around hills, sometimes at their foot
again girdling the slope midway be-
tween base and summit, seldom get
ting many yards from the musical
stream.
Surely here is an opportunity which
a live community. imbued with the
spirit of the West. could never ne
glect. Let us agitate the question!
II the county will make that so foot
drive, up to the Pennsylvania line,
Delaware would possess one of the
finest natural park drives in the coun-
try, With comparative'~ little expen-
diture of money, this section might
rank with the natural beauty of the
famous Wissahickon and Riverside.

IT anyone is of the impression that
Newark is drowsy little town, view
ing progress from a distance and with
indifference, let him read this story OF
one section and then walk over the
ground and convince himself of the
contrary. The growth of the northern
part of the town has been rapid and
many of our people. who are stay-at-
homes, have surprise in store for
them, when they next go around that
way.
Many of our citizens remember the
ox-roast held in celebration of the
election of Grover Cleveland to the
Presidency. This affair was held on
land north of Main street which was
at that time presented to the town bv
I. F. Armstrong and Joseph Dean,
for the opening of street, to be
named Cleveland avenue.
There was much opposition to the
opening of the street, but the plan
was pushed and carried to a successful
finish.
Mr.. Armstrong put in the street
crossing leading to this avenue at his
own expense.
Those who appreciate natural beauty
find a beautiful landscape spread be-
fore them at this point. The hills roll
on and on, as far as the eye can see,
and to complete the beauty of the
view the historic White Clay winds in
and out at their foot.
Added to all this attractiveness, the
splendid drainage of the section has
aided in making this the most rapidly
growing part in our locality. Three
years ago a second street was opened
by Mr.. I. F. Armstrong, to run paral-
lei to Cleveland avenue, and be called
Prospect avenue. Rodman Lovett
built the first four houses. Mr.. Arm
strong gave the street to the town and
had Mr.. Wilbur Wilson grade it to con-
form to the other grades of the town.
There are now twelve houses on this
avenue and this past week the remain
ing land, 100 feet, was sold to Z. B.

OBITUARY

1t is with an unsteady hand and
moist eyes that we attempt to give to
the public an idea of the value OF the
short life of Charles Frederic keppel
our Brother in Phi Sigma. 1t will be
but an attempt and public one, for
there was something i'll the makeup
pressed in words
Mr.. Keppel was born at Lancaster
He attended the public schools of his
native town and in September, 1906
matriculated at Delaware College as
a student in the Engineering Depart
ment.
From the beginning he was dill
gent student "a quiet and unassuming
young man. In his freshman year he
played on the scrub and class football
teams and was also the winner OF one
of the Curtis English prizes. At the
end OF the four years he graduated
with high honors and was elected a
member of the Phi Kappa Phi honor
AIRY fraternity.
He was a charter member OF the
Phi Sigma Fraternity.
On Saturday, October Ist host OF
friends were shocked bv the news of
his death. Although he had been in
poor health for number OF days it
seemed hardly possible that one with
such high hopes and bright possibilities
would be taken. At the time OF his
death he was located at St Louis. The
body was brought to the home OF his
parents at Lancaster, when it was
viewed by his many friends. On Tues
day morning at Q a. m. an impressive
and solemn funeral service was held at
the church and from there the remains
of Charles Frederic keppel were car
ried to their final resting place. He
is survived by mother, father and
four brothers,
No more shall we hear the voice Of
our esteemed brother Keppel in our
midst. no more shall be listen to his
words of counsel and advice, but still
will he live in hearts and lives and not
in ours only. but of all who knew him
As a pebble when thrown into a pond
causes circular waves to start out i'll all
directions, so will the influence OF
Charles Keppel extend into the lives
of those with whom he came III con-
tact. In him Delaware College has
lost a faithful advocate and the Phi
Sigma Fraternity has lost one of the
noblest young men it has ever had the
privilege of calling a Brother in Phi
Sigma.
A FRATERNITY BROTHER.

Power Company, that the contract for
