NEWARK AND THE BOULEVARD--A
CALL FOR A CITIZENS MEETING

Oh all the towns in Delaware
with population of over 500, that
had any reason whatever to be-
lieve or even think that the State
Boulevard would touch near them,
Newark stands alone, as probably
the only town that has not made
any effort whatever to get the
boulevard OF course, this is not
something that can be gotten for
the asking or could be gotten at
all unless the commissioners NAM
ed in the bill, with General l..
Coleman DUPONT, who is to build
this great highway, decide that
route that would touch near New
ark, was the best for the purposes,
but it is something worth strlv-
ing for, the same as many other
towns are doing.
General dupont has shown a
disposition to hear the citizens OF
anv town that was within any pos
sible radius of what was likely to
be selected as a route, and why
not Newark put in her claim with
the rest. Many of the citizens
have apparently been Of the opin-
ion that it was beyond the possl-
bilties and too remote to even
| make an effort FOR but Judging
from late developments and ru-
mors Newark has probably bet
ter chance OF being close to the
boulevard than some of the other
towns that have been holding pub
lie meetings and making every
possible effort to interest General
dupont in a route that will be
/ close to them, for weeks past.
In a letter read at meeting OF
the Levy Court in Wilmington
Yesterday from John J. RaskoD'
of the dupont Powder Company,
he urged the commissioners to re-
pair a piece of road at the north
erly end of the Philadelphia Turn
pike. which they had been holding
I'm because of possibility of the
boulevard going out that Turn
nike and stated that General du-
| Pont had informed him that the
chances were three to one agalns

ton.
1t has been rumored for some
time that serious consideration will
likely be given a route that would
come up west of Middletown and
probably touch some place in the
vicinity of Christiana. An engi-
neer who however is not in any
way connected with the surveys
being made for General dupont,
stated yesterday that it was his
opinion that one of the principal
objections that General DUPONT
would have to cross the Christiana
any place near Wilmington, would
be that it would then be necessary
to build a draw bridge over that
stream and maintain it the year
around. To avoid building draw
bridge the boulevard, he thought,
would have to cross west o: Chris
tiana.
If this is true and there should
be sufficient objection to build
ing a draw bridge that would force
the boulevard to cross near Chris
tiana, it would seem that Newark
then, would be near what ever
route is selected. Even should
this great highway be built two
miles from Newark it would still
be a great benefit to the town.
Considering all these matters 1t
would seem that now if at any
time is when the citizens OF this
town should get interested in the
State Boulevard and show Cen
eral dupont that they are inter
ested.

NEWARk'S GREAT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
COMPANY INSTALLING MACHINERY

will be from 200 to 800 bushels or
from q to 9 ton per acre. To
average it even at 7 I-2 ton per
acre, that will be $23,22o to be
distributed among the farmers of
the locality. In addition to this
the plant will employ about 20
persons this season for several
months at moderate wages.
Mr.. Carroll also states that the
company which he represents will
build fre-proof factory here next
year to cost about $4,000. The
main building will be about 100
by 400 feet. Work will be started
early in the year and the plant
completed in time to take care OF
next years crop which will be by
August IS, 1910. This is to be
complete factory where the nm
ished goods ready for the table
will be turned out.
The new plant will employ about
100 persons and at least 90 Of them
will be females. According to Mr.
Carroll, no foreign labor will be
employed, and in fact the only
ones that the company will SEND
here in addition to the manager
will be an expert machinlst and
catsup cook. 1t is the intention
to contract for about double the
acreage Of tomatoes next year as
was contracted for this year
which will make in the neighbor
hood of 600 acres.
If this number of acres is con
tracted FOR it would seem a dis
tribution of at least $40 900 among
the farmers next season. Accord
ing to Mr.. Carroll, the new plan
after starting in August, will bs
in operation for from g to I
months. The wages to be pait
will average from $I.5o to ? da,
for the employees, which woulC
mean pay roll of about 81 600 ;
month. This shows that when tn,
plant is in full operation it vii
mean about $4,000 per year Cir
culation.

NEWARK WINS

The Hamilton A. A. base bali

proposition for Newark OH Satur-
day and the locals won out by the
score of 7 to 2. The locals were
slightly weakened by the absence
OF third baseman Jackson, who
has played the last two Saturdays
with the Franklin Fire Company
team of Chester. Herdman COW
cred third on Saturday and while
he made two errors on easy
chances, it. must be remembered
that he is an outhelder and there
for the work in the infield is
strange to him.
Vic Willis pitched the first
six innings and not a hit or run
was made off his delivery and in
fact only IS men faced him in the
six innings. Gregg pitched the
last three innings and two singles
with several errors gave Hamilton
run in each of the eighth and
mines innings. .
| Haney who started the work in
the box for the visitors was hit
hard in the five innings that he
pitched and was also poorly sup
ported. All seven of Newark S
runs were made off his delivery.
Young who succeeded him held
Newark safe during the remain
der ol the game and allowed but
one hit, the longest of the season
1t was three base drive by Nor

DEPOT Road Best In County

Contractors Stewart and Dona-
hue, who have built number o:
excellent pieces of road for the
county, started the work of re-
surfacing the Depot road from the
town limits to the old depot on
Monday. The amount OF the con-
tract is about $4,000.
Levy Court Commissioner Dan
irl Thompson. is very much inter-
ested in making this one OF the
best pieces of road in the county.
The contract calls for the placing
OF 3 inches of 1 I-2 stone on the
road, after which it will be cover
cd with a binder known as ber-
muda asphalt. This will be the
only piece of road in New Castle
county that the bermuda asphalt
has been used on and it has been
highly recommended. 1t is pack
ed in barrels and requires to be
heated to great temperature be-
fore being spread over the road.
On top OF this will be placed ga
stone and screenings after which
it will be rolled
Because OF there being so much
travel on the road, the contractor
will rush the work as fast as pos
Sible and it will be completed IN a
comparatively short time.

They do not touch human hands
at any period during the time that
they are being run throuh the pro-
cess turning them into pulp. 1t is
necessary that they be ripe and
ready for preserving when they
arrive at the plant. They are first
placed on revolving wire table
and any dirt that there may be on
the tomatoes drops through. They
are next run through washer and
elevated up into tanks, where they
are cooked and put through a gin,
which takes out the skins, core,
seeds, or any other impurities that
there NAV be in them. The next
step in this sanitary process, is
that they are pumped through a
porcelain lined pipe, recooked
over coils and hermetically sealed
in six gallon cans, which are en-
amelled lined. This pulp then pre-
pared and sealed in these sanitary
cans are to be shipped to another
plant where the finished product
is turned out.
Manager Carroll has been in
Newark since last February max
ing preparations for opening the
plant here. This work not only
included the getting in of mach
inery, ETC., but also contracting
with farmers for tomatoes and in
way looking after them being
planted.
In talking to representative OF

stated that the prospects are for
an excellent crop. He has cor
tracted for 3S7 acres at So per ton.

MANAGER CARROLL DISCUSSES NFW MINISTRY

Newark's new industry, which
rs local plant of the T. A. Snider
Preserve Co., will start operat,o.,s
about the middle of next month.
For some time workmen under
the direction of Manager Carroll,
have been installing the necessary
machinery in the Old Thompson
cannery, which has been leased
until the company can build its
own plant. The machinery is now
nearly all installed and everything
will be ready for the tomato crop
when it comes on the middle of
August. r.. m
Residents of Newark hardly re-
alize what this plant will mean for
Newark, and the great amount
OF money which it will distribute
here, in payment for the tomatoes
contracted for and in wages, most
OF which will naturally find its way
to the local merchants, should the
present plans of the concern be
carried out. The T. A. Snider
Preserve Company is probably the
best known company in it's parti-
cular line in the country, and has
a number o.: plants distributed
throughout the country, with a
central Office in Cincinnati. The
company makes catsup, chila
sauce, oyster cocktails, etc.
This season the finished pro-
duct will not be turned out in the
local plant because of lack of faci-
lities, but the tomatoes will SIM
ply be put through process turn
ing them into pulp and this will
be shipped to other plants in the
west, to be made up into catsup,
etc. If there is one thing more
than another that this large con-
Germ is proud Of, it is cleanliness
OF its process and the perfect sani-
tary arrangements which are car
ried out in handling the tomatoes.
The only time when the toma-

grounds during the carnival.
Should there be any outbreak,
a call by telephone-"Fir Firemen's
Carnival, central will put anyone
in direct communication with the
boys who will be in readiness to
give their usual prompt service.
Merchants and residents are re-
quested to clean up bit and add
whatever decorations they can to
present gala appearance.
Music will be furnished by sew
eral local bands. Arrangements
have been completed with the
North East band, and they will
probably be present on the night
Of the automobile parade.
Entries ;or the auto parade
should be handed in to the master
of the car A. F. Fader at the earl
lest possible moment.
The ladies have taken great in
terest in the movement and Sec
| ret meetings of the different COM
mittees promise some pleasant
surprises.
The Carnival promises to bring
hundreds of strangers to the town
and some of the merchants are
preparing to take advantage of
the opportunity TO carry on a
special campaign of advertising.
There has been considerable
discussion as to what use the pro-
ceeds would be put to. 1t is the
decision of the fremen, that it
will be placed in the general fund
of the company with, of course,
the idea of new building or i'm
Iproving the efficiency of the COM
pany. 1t is public service con-
tribution and Judging from past
conduct there is every reason to
believe the money will be wisely
expended. Every citizen should
not only give the boys their ap-
proval but lend some assistance
in making it a success.
1t means boom for Newark to
show what she really can do and
watch the result" is the cry

MCNAMARA EXPLAINS.
Tells Why Chicago Will Not Play Mo-
hawk Hockey Team.

In reply TO a communication from
Willard Smith, editor OF the Kewee-
nav Miner, published in this morn
ing's Gazette. stating that Manager
Mcnamara refused TO allow the Chi
cago hockey team 10 play with Mo-
hawk. and in which Mr.. Mcnamara
was personally attacked. the manager
Portage Lake Hockey club this morn
ing made the following statement:
when l made arrangements with
the Chicago team to play two games
with the Portage Lakes at the Amphi-
drome, / agreed TO stand the expenses
Of the trip. The railroad fares amount
To $3.50 for the whole team. When the
visitors arrived i'm Houghton l learn
I'd that they had made arrangements
with Mohawk TO play a game there on
Wednesday. In talking to Rompf
about this arrangement told him
that to be fair TO the Portage Lake
Hockey club a portion of the expenses
Of the trip from Chicago TO the cop
per country should be charged TO Mo-
hawk in case they played a game
with them. That was all / did about
the matter
The personal remarks are entirely
uncalled for. I spoke to several of the
Mohawk players this week, as well
as with Mr.. Smith, but none of them
made any mention of their desire to
play Chicago. They made their ar
rangements with Rompf of the Chi
cago team. 1 have always done all
could for the promotion of the sport
and was ready at any time TO receive
a proposition from Mohawk for game
on any terms as long as Mohawk
would make an effort to stand a por-
ton of the expenses. / expected no
such stab in the back but | think the
general public would consider me a
fool should l consent to such an ar
engagements as Mr. Smith suggests,
which is entirely an unbusiness- like

kind"
