Residents of Newark we're greatly
pleased when it was learned that the
Public Building Committee bill, in
troduced I'm the House Of Representa-
lives at Washington. on Saturday, car
ries with it an appropriation of $4,000
for the purchase of a site for new
postofice in Newark This was the
only Delaware appropriation IN the
bill. The movement for 2 new post
Office here was started some time ago
but the fact that the movement had
secured so far as the committee
recommending that $4,000 be appro-
priated for a site was a surprise to
local people. It is now hoped that
after site is secured the next Con-
gress will make the necessary appro-
priation for erecting the new build
ing. There is already much. specula-
tion as to where the new postoffice
will be located. There are several
sites on Main street. that will prob
ably be considered The present
! postoffice is located in the Opera
House building, but the quarters are
too small.
The Rev. John C. Cornwell, of New
York, will give a humorous lecture
entitled, Hitting the Funny Bone
in the Newark NJ. E. Church, tomor-
row night.
Professor Thomas f. Manns, scout
master of the local company OF Boy
Scouts, will lecture next Friday night
on scouting in the Philippines. All
boys and there parents. even though
not members OF the patrols, are in
vited to attend the lecture
