WANT COMFORTS
FOR PATROL CREW
Cement Floor Hard on Mems
Health in Cold and Damp
Weather

The public building committee Of
City Council has decided to repair the
present boiler in the basement Of the
City Hall. which heats the police sta
ton rather than purchase a new one.
This decision was reached because
the councilmen felt that money for a
new boiler was not available at this
time.
A problem has sprung up in con-
nection with the new garage for the
police automobile patrol. The patrol
crews are supposed to remain IN this
building while on duty. but It had has
been found that to Insist on this, un-
less changes are made, will prove
detrimental to the health Of the men.
There is nothing but a cement floor
for them to stand on and this in cold
OF damp weather Is considered dan
gerous to ones health It is sug-
gested that board floor be placed
In the building, or If this Is imprac-
ticable, to erect a small Office room
for the men, which can be heated and
made comfortable. The matter will
be brought to the attention Of the
public building committee.

tive, Referendum and Recall. The
speakers in behalf of the league will
be members of the league and citizens
of Delaware. The discussion will be
confined TO two hours and forty min.

The league would Ike to receive ar
acceptance of its challenge from any.
one to discuss the questions OF the
Initiative. Referendum and Recall

bates on these questions to take place
sometime in the month of November

and one at Newark. Speakers for the
conservatives must be Delawareans

the hall rents and other necessary ex-
penses.
The league awaits with pleasure the
acceptance of this challenge from any
person or persons, class or organiza-
tion, desiring to discuss as they term

The season for shooting reed and
rail birds opens tomorrow and the
marshes throughout New Castle
county will be filled with gunners of
all sizes Many gunners are leaving
today for the marshes around Port
Penn and Delaware City. other gum
ners will hunt rail In the creeks
along the Delaware river The
marshes near the Lobdell car wheel
works and along the Wilmington and
Northern railroad towards Delaware
pier are also favorite haunts for the
"reedies" and rail birds.
As the season opens on Friday,
Saturday and Labor Day make a long
holiday for the gunners.
Those who have overlooked the
marshes report that there are plenty
Of wild oats for the birds to feed on.
A report has been circulated to the
effect that the revision OF the game
laws prohibits a gunner from killing
more than fourteen reed birds in any
one day. This Is a mistake so far as
~reedies" are concerned. but the num-
Der rail birds any gunner is permitted
TO kill in one day is restricted to rs
birds.
Gunners also are forbidden to kiln
more than twenty wild ducks.
II Friday is a clear day the guns
will be heard as soon as daybreak
and the slaughter OF the toothsome

JOHNNIEs MAY CHANGE HANDS.
Efforts Being Made Looking to the

whose names will not be divulged by
the agent acting for them, may take
over the Johnstown Tri-State League
club this winter, If the price put on
It by the Johnstown Baseball Asso-
citation is to their liking. The old
association, which sold out two years
ago for s60O0 still has claims Of
$4,000 against the club. and the Off
GERS Of the club last year are per-
sonally responsible for another debt
of almost the same amount. The old
directors had a meeting last week to
decide on what would be their final
terms of settlement They voted to
confer with the directors Of the as
sociation conducting the club now in
regard to the matter before giving
out any figures. This meeting may
be held this week. With both parties
willing TO concede a little in hope Of
getting back part of what they put
into the club, it is very probable that
a sale may be arranged. The new
parties interested in the baseball team
think that with careful management
and businesslike methods, such as en-
ployed this season by Secretary John
7. Griffin and his associates. baseball
can be made to pay IL Johnstown
