fifty or more members OF the Chamber.
Josiah Marvel, president OF the Cham
Der, presided. In introducing Governor
Miller Mr.. Marvel said, I'VE all enjoy
ed the automobile run TO Dover few
weeks ago and some thought it WAS a
great run. II was not half as good as
the one Governor Miller made 60 Dover
about a year ago. Since then we have
been anxious to have him with us, as he
Is one OF US and is interested in the
building up of the state and this city
mo man is to be commended more
highly for what he has done toward
booming this city and what he has
tried TO do than Governor Miller whom

Governor Miller, in opening, said he
felt al home with the cham1er and
Interested in what Il is doing. Speak
ing of the recent dinner rendered the
State editors by the chamber, he said

pen and pencil back of t. They viii

Speaking OF the oppOI lunity of a
tity growing, the Governor claim
ed Il depended on it's appearance and
while the Street and sewer Depart
hnent he contended, was doing all II
hould toward paving the city streets,
1T was doing this on money deriv-
Jed from the sale OF bonds. A city
bike a business hrm could not con-
hinue 10 put out bonds, however,
ahere being q limit the bonded in
ldentedness. He suggested that what
l7Was needed in this resp was the
labutting property =. ner paying for
Ifne street paving. This portion of
fhB remarks was literally ap-
Iplauded.
Much has been said about the
FGovernment securing the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal. and the
Egopd 1t would do this city, he said
Ebut Il all depends on the cities
themselves. I'VE have got to be

GQernor. Look at Atlanta today
When seven years ago the people
