''The wedding had been planned for

the bride in Delaware, but owing to the
fact of official court cases at that time
and three terms of court following, Mr..

mer. So she put aside her plans for
a home wedding and left for the West

ANNUAL MEETING OF
The kent LEVY court

Kent County Levy Court, on Tues
day last, organized by the reelection O.
President James T. Truax, Solicitor
James L. Wolcott and Janitor James
A KERN. The standing committees fol
last year were continued.
A delegation of farmers and owners
of land in Milford hundred, residing
along the route to the bay, appeared to
protest against the conditions of things
along the public road, adjoining lands of
Frank Greco, a wealthy italian of Mil
ford Neck, who was given permission a
year or so ago, to cut a canal across the
public road, joining his lands, with the
prOviso that he build a suitable bridge.
so that traffic could be made without
difficulty. Greco built bridge, but it
is claimed by the residents in that local
ity that it is unsafe and unfit for travel.
1t appears that Greco had been noti-
fled in October last to have the road
made passable, the clerk of the court
was instructed to notify him at once
that if the road was not made passable
or the bridge fitted for travel by May
first, the road overseer of that district
would do the work at his charge.
Permission was granted to the rail-
road company to use a part of the road
between the Kent County Almshouse
and the Camden road for siding at
Wyoming, the company to keep said
road in good repair.
The monthly reports of county off
GERS showed collections for January,
1912, as follows: Clerk of the Peace,
$500; Register of Wills, $75S, 59;; Re
corder of Deeds, S36; Sheriff, S29.14;
PrOthonotary, S69O.23; Clerk of the
Orphans Court, S255.62.
The court authorized the building of
a bridge over duPont's mill dam.
Bills amounting to 50, 555. 50 for the |
month were allowed.
Owing to the incompleteness of a new
road in the Second district, it being al
legged that it was not built in accord
ance with the plans authorized by the
Levy Court, it was not accepted.
Warner R. Green, collector of the
Seventh district, asked that his error
list for 1910, amounting to but S14.54,
De allowed. Mr.. Green had no error or
delinquent list for 1911, and is the first
collector in the county to settle in full.
This is the third year in succession that
Mr. Green has been first in complete
ettlement of his accounts as a collec-
or.
