TO REPAVE MARKET
Street NEXT YEAR
City Has Saved Enough
Money TO Pay It's Cost
of the Work
BUILDING INSPECTOR
TO HAVE ASSISTANT

Members OF City Council at a meet
ing of the committee Of the whole last
night considered the question of paw
ing Market street from the Christiana
river to Twenty-third street. While
the conference was only informal, It
was announced at the close that
enough money had been saved from
street improvement work now being
done here to pay for the cost Of paw
ing Market street. The work viii
be done next year. The difference
between the actual cost and the esti-
mated cost when the 100000 loan
was negotiated leaves enough OF the
100000 to pave Market street from
the Christiana river TO Twenty-third
street. This, however, includes only
what the city would have to pave, the
traction company having much of the
work TO do because there are double
tracks the entire length OF the street.
Members of Council held a confer
ence with Building Inspector Ander-
son last night, when defects In the
present building laws we're consider
ed and a draft of new code being
prepared was considered. Owing 70
the work necessary in compiling this
new code, an assistant will be neces-
sary and Council agree to provide the
inspector with a clerk. The duties of
the assistant will be to remain in
the Office and issue permits while the
inspector is examining work about

MAIL BLUNDERS STIR
SENATOR SALISBURY
Asks Washington TO Send
Agent to Correct Admin
stratiOn'S Mistakes
COMPLAINTS SINCE
ROUTES WERE UNITED

United States Senator Willard
Salisbury and Postal Inspector Plum
rner appeared before the fourth assis-
tant postmaster general. at Washing
ton yesterday relative to the disrup-
tion of the rural mail delivery service
In Delaware which became manifest
on October / when the rural routes
In this State were consolidated and
some of the carriers were dropped.
Senator Salisbury urged that a
REPRESENTATIVE of the department be
sent here to investigate the complaints
that are being received from resi-
dents Of the rural districts over the
reform" in service just made by
T. e Democratic administration. While
the cutting down of the rural mail
carrier force throughout the State is
part of the Democratic economy pro
gram. there is a startling suspicion in
some quarters that the Democrats
are playing politics with the service
and when a further reorganization
comes faithful Democrats will get the
4 places formerly held by Republican
carriers.
Meanwhile complaints are heard
all over the State against the miser
ahle service since the recent consoli
dation of routes.
Newark and surrounding country ar
the particular sufferers. So widesprea,
has been the criticism Of the rural mai
change that Senator Salisbury hal
found it necessary TO 60 to Washington
to try to have the mistakes Of thu
Democratic "higher-ups' corrected an,
Bllsy the public clamor.
II was learned at the close Of the con
ference In Washington yesterday, whicl
lasted several hours. that n representa-
tive Of the department would be sent tC
Delaware. IL is reported that one o
the main questions taken up by The
uenator was the consolidation of The
routes at Edge Moor. New Castle anC

will be taken up at once by the repre-
sentative Of the department.
