URGE PAYMENT
ON SEWER
New Century Club No Longer
Responsible For Sprinkler

Town Council at it's meeting
Monday night decided to send cop
les Of the following notice to all
property owners who have not paid
their sewer assessment or arranged
for paying the same in five annual
installments:
Having failed to pay the sewer
assessment against your property,
or to notify the Sewer Commission
of your intention to pay the same in
five equal, annual installments, and
to pay the first installment thereof
within thirty days from the time
said assessments were certified to
the Council Of the Council Of New
ark, l am directed, by resolution of
said Council, to notify you that, un-
less you pay said assessment in full
or pay the first installment thereof
and give proper notice of your in
tention to avail yourself Of the
privilege Of paying the balance in
annual installments, promptly af-
ter receiving this notice, it will be
compelled by the requirements of
the Act of the Legislature, author
izing the construction of the sewer
system in the Town of Newark, to
proceed to collect the whole amount
assessed, together with six per cent
thereon from the date the same was
certified to Council, as aforesaid,
and all fees and costs of collection.
Yours very truly,
Secretary of Council
To date over $4,000 Of the Sew
er assessment has been paid.
Under an ordinance that was
given it's third and final reading
and passed by Town Council Mon
day night all persons keeping cows
or horses within the town limits
will be required to have the manure
removed at least once every 10 days
from May l to October 1. This ac-
ton was suggested by the New
Century Club some weeks ago as a
means of getting rid of many flies.
1t also provides for fine for viola
tions Of the provisions of the ordi-
nance.
A communication was received
from the New Century Club to the
effect that owing to the trouble that
had been experienced in past years
in collecting money with which to
operate the street sprinkler it had
been decided by the organization to
not run the sprinkler this summer.
The communication, however, stat
ed that the club would allow Coun-
Gil to use the sprinkler if it so de-
sired. No action was taken on the
matter.
The matter Of awarding the con-
tract for rebuilding Main street
was postponed for two more weeks.
This action was necessary because
Of the slow progress that is being
made in recaulking the water mains
Frank M. Luton, was appointed
by Council an Inspector for the
town in connection with the re-
caulking Of the mains, at So a day.
The agreement between Council,
the Diamond State Telephone Co.
and the Western Union Telegraph
Co., whereby the three can use the
same line of poles for their wires
on Main street above the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad tracks, was enter
ed into by the different parties con
cerned. Under this agreement
some Of the poles now standing in
that part Of the town will probably
be removed.

PROPOSED CHANGES
in POST OFFICE

United States Post Office Inspec-
tor Plummer was in town last week
making arrangements for releasing
quarters for Post Office. The lease
on the present quarters has expired.
Mr.. Plummer desires to give
Newark better accommodations and
to that end has under considera-
ton larger quarters in the Opera
House Building, probably the old
quarters of the Newark Trust and
Safe Deposit Company. A govern
ment official was here on Saturday
to estimate on the cost of new and
larger equipment Of boxes. The
business of the office has so increas-
ed during the past few years, that
larger quarters are necessary.
Mr.. Plummer talked with sever
al citizens, asking their advice on
the proposed changes. If his re-
concentrations are approved by the
postal authorities, the office will
be open during holidays for the ac-
commodation Of those holding boxes
On being asked if these innovations
would in any way embarrass the
proposed new Post Office Building,
Mr.. Plummer was positive in his
statement. These improvements,
he said, had nothing whatever to do
with the new building. That it was
only an attempt to better the SER
vice. Postmaster Brown and his as
sistants are very much handicapped
for room.
A decision will probably be rem
dered in a few days. Nothing de-
finite could be learned this morning.

Building And Loan
Doing Big Business

Big Business is still the slogan in
Newark. The local Building and
Loan Association held its regular
monthly meeting last night. Loans
were made to the amount Of $19,
900. At the last meeting $1,000
loans were made.
By the way, we must all remem-
Der that the record, for business of
Loan Association, is held in New

can't be beat in the country.
This sounds like a boost. 1t is.
But it's a fact, too.

Daniel Thompson, Elmer Ellison,

Newark post., 1914-05-06

The entertainment was one OF
the regular literary programs OF
the school, which at that time was
being ably conducted by Mr.. j. w
Weston, one Of the ablest teachers
Of his day. The Academy was close.
ly identified with the college, the
trustees having a few years pre-.
vious, conveyed by a deed, the
buildings and grounds, to the trus-
tees of the college. The principal
of the academy was admitted to be
member Of the college faculty
The school was a large and excel
dent one.
An item on the program of espec-
ial interest is the name Of "George
A. Townsend, Newark" the poet
widely known as "Gath" who died
about d month ago. At the time of
the entertainment the father of the
boy was pastor of the Newark M.
E. Church, and young Alfred a
pupil in the Newark Academy.
Mr.. Cooch was able to review the
careers Of many Of his old school
mates. From his comments we
quote the following: Joseph 7.
Griffith was an uncle Of William
Griffith and Mrs. Agnes Henry,
and lived for years on the farm
south of town now owned by A. G..
Stroud. John S. Hoffecker is known
to this community as the father of
Robert Hoffecker, Delaware College
alumnus, and present editor of the
Smyrna Times. Jos. w. Cooch, is
Mr.. Wilkins Cooch himself Jas. B.
Kerr, a brother Of George G. Kerr
and George P. Miller the father of
IJ. B. Miller. John L. Evans, now
deceased, was a brother of Misses
Emma, Sue and Agnes Evans. For
many years Mr.. Evans lived in
Buffalo. Washington E. Reynolds,
until the time Of his death, served
as a trustee Of Delaware College.
He was a resident Of Middletown.
George w. Chamberlain, who died
aynumber Of years ago, was broth
er of Mrs. George Kerr, and spent
many years of his life as a mission
ary in Brazil. Adam E. King of
Delaware City, at the outbreak of
the Civil War, was an earnest ad-
vocate of peace, and made stirring
addresses arguing for conciliation.
After the policy Of his country had
become sharply defined, however,
he entered the Union army, finally
becoming a brigadier-general Fol
lowing the war he was prominent in
the public life of Maryland. The
late James Hossinger, father OF
Mayor j. H. Hossinger, is well re.
membered in Newark. The last
name, evidently a misprint, should
be Graham Blandy. Mr.. Blandy
became a banker in Philadelphia
He owned farm in New Castle
County, which he sold to the Trus
tees Of the Poor, the present site OF
the county almshouse, at Farnhurst
Delaware.
