AUDITING COMMITTEE APPOINTED

tie stated that the company de-
sired to increase it's plant here and
place the work on standard
basis. At present the poles in the
town are principally on private
property and to give proper dis
tribution they should be located in
the proper place, which is on the
highway. If the permission should
be granted he said 80 foot poles
would be erected from Chapel
street with distribution boxes
either on every pole or every
other pole. Room would be left,
he said, for the towns electric
light and fire service on these poles
in case the poles Of the other tele-
phone company on the opposite
side OF the street are ever removed.
DR.. Kollock, as well as other
members. seemed to be distinctly
opposed to more poles going up on
Main street, and especially on the
opposite side of the street from
those that are already up. 1t is
their opinion that if the company
finds it necessary to meet require
ments, to have poles on Main street
some arrangements should be
made whereby the present poles
could be used by both companies.
The matter finally on motion of
Dir. kollock. was referred to the
street committee in conjunction
with Charles b. Evans, attorney
for Council. This committee will
see officials Of the Delmarvia Tele-
phone Company to see if it is not
possible for the d. & A. Company
to use their poles. A special meet
ing may be called to hear the re
port of this committee.

elaborate. AS one member Of the
committee said yesterday: Last
year was only a practice game.
Now we know what can be done
The money made last year has
been placed in a sinking fund. No
decision has been made as to just
what improvements will be made.
The money will be spent either for
a new engine and equipment or to-
ward a building an Main street.
The proceeds of the coming carni-
val will be for one of thes sug-
gested needs.
The committee is anxious to re-
ceive any suggestions for the sue
cess of the carnival. Anyone hav-
ing a novel idea of entertainment
will be gladly heard.

BRILLIANT AFFAIR AT DOVER

-dnced to Mr.. Massey and the mem
bels of the committee they took
seats in the hall, or walked about,
exchanging greetings with each
other. The reception was informal
'S it's nature, and every one pres
ent expressed themselves as greatly
pleased. ....
The committee in charge Of the
reception, comprising former Gov
ernor Tunnel, former Governor
Watson and D. NJ. Wilson, eXerted
every effort to make the affair
success and in this they did their
work admirably.
That politics in no sense figured
in the reception was made evi-
dent, when it became known for
the first time just how the reception
was first conceived. Shortly after
the annual meeting Of the Della
ware Railroad here last month,
four of the directors Of the road,
former Governor William 7. Wat
son, former Governor John Hum,
| Col. y. r. johnson and d. NJ. Will
son, while riding on the train to-
gether, suggested a reception to Mr..
Massey for his faithfulness as an
official of the road and Of the repu-
tation he had gained in his high
profession. 1t was first intended
that the reception should be given
by the directors of the Delaware
Railroad, but when certain pub
lie spirited citizens Of Dover heard
of the proposed reception, they ask
ed that they be allowed to join in
the affair. to which the directors
readily consented. This was the be-
ginning of the reception, which
proved to be one Of the great sue
cesses of the season.

FORMER SENATOR
WASHBURN IS DEAD
Last Of Seven Brothers Passes
Away at Minneapolis.

William Drew Washburn, former
United States senator, pioneer miller,
railroad builder and philanthr> list,
died at "Fair Oaks" his home in Min
neapolis. Senator Washburn was the
last of seven brothers, all of whom
figured prominently in current history
Of the country. Senator Washburn
was eighty-one years old.
The death Of the Minneapolis fnan,
cier follows an eight-day fight for life.
Senator Washburn barely had landed
in the United States from Europe be-
fore he was told by physicians his
condition was critical. Wishing to die
at home the former senator was
rushed to Minneapolis in a special
train by his son, e. G. Washburn.
While Senator Washburn had grown
steadily weaker since his arrival home
the crisis in his condition was not
reached until Monday morning, when
he began to fail rapidly.
