DOVER, Del, June 6-Residents
of the community are interested in
the activities of Dr. J. Albert Ster-
rett, pastor Of Calvary Baptist
Church. He is man of great energy
and courage, and has brought the Cal
vary Church from its former discour-
aging conditions to its present hope
full state.
The chief obstacles confronting him
at the beginning OF his administration
were, the absence of a parsonage IN
which to move his family of seven
and a congregation too weak to build
one. Not being a man who waits for
things TO turn up, Mr.. Sterrett at
great sacrifice to himself and family
and with some outside aid, procured
an old ice cream factory, which was
TO be torn down and the lumber used
In the construction of new parson-

SITUATION TONIGHT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE. Del, June 6.-New
Castle is still in darkness and the
citizens indignation has been aroused
to such pitch that definite action
will be taken in the matter at a
meeting of City Council. To add fuel
as Il were to the feelings, il was
stated in open meeting last evening
that the franchise under which the
company Is operating is not the origi-
nal one as drawn and presented 30
the City Council. At a town meeting
last evening a committee of FIVE was
elected to assist City Council in look
ing after the question of light and
water.
In answer TO a call by Mayor Rod
ney for a town meeting nearly 200
citizens gathered in the town hall.
Mayor Rodney called the meeting to
order and after stating the object he
was chosen permanent chairman.
John M. Wilson suggested that the
President Of City Council explain the
trouble between the city and the
Delaware Water Improvement Com-
pany.
President Cannon said Every
one knows the cause of the trouble.
The company did not give the proper
service and the city did not pay the
bills. Recently at a special meeting
Mr.. Heisel, representing the company,
was here and IL was agreed to pay
$1,000 now. pay current bills as they
come due and pay as best we could
on the hack bills. All at once we
found this arrangement was unsatis-
factory and the lights were turned
out"
City Solicitor Janvier said he had
found the city owes the company
about $4,000 and the company claims
rent for nine fire plugs. Mr.. Janvier
said Mr.. Heisel had informed that the
company Is willing 10 accept the
terms agreed on and TO have a case
stated presented in court as to the
other differences.
John H. Rodney said a condition
and not a theory exists. He believed
New Castle is worse of than IL was
fifty years ago: II had lights then, but
none now. Mr.. Rodney thought II
