LEVY court takes
step TO AVOID Deficit

The Levy Court at its afternoon ses-
sion yesterday awarded the contract
for resurfacing the Philadelphia turn
pike to Alfred II. Mcdowell.
The court passed a resolution that
hereafter all maintenance work must
be done with the approval Of the en-
tire court. This action was taken in
order to prevent a deficit at the end
of the year. While every section cries
for more road improvements the coun-
ty has had only a stipulated sum to
spend in each section. Along this line
the bids which were received by the
Levy Court several weeks ago for re
pairs to the Newark TO Glasgow road
and the Odessa to Boyd's Corner road
were ordered returned to the bidders
in resolution adopted yesterday. The
bids received at the same time for re
pairs to the Middletown TO Mt. Pleas
ant road we're ordered retained by

CITY schools MAY
Be MADE SANITARY
Council Likely TO Give the
Health Board Sufficient
Money TO Do Work
MAYORS BOARD
TO DISCUSS SUBJECT

In an effort to arrange for a settle
ment OF the differences between the
Board Of Education and the Board OF
Health, over the installing Of sanitary
plumbing facilities in fourteen public
schools. special meeting Of the
Mayors Advisory Board has been
called for Wednesday afternoon OF
next week. Mayor Price hopes that
some way will be devised next week
10 straighten out the tanele. Inc
ouestion was referred TO the Advisory
Board By the health authorities some
time ago but owing to the absence OF
two members at that time nothing was
done Just what position the AdNis-
orv Board will take in the matter IS
unknown. The law relating TO the
boards power roads as follows;
"The Advisory Board shall meet
- for the purpose of advice and
consultation in regard 10 matters con-
cerning the municipality, but the ac-
tion of the said board shall not be
binding upon any Of the said depart
ments. except in cases Of disputes and
differences which may arise between
or among any Of the departments o.
the municipality tincluding the BoarC
OF Public Education), in which case
the decision of the board shall b.
final"
II is believed that some plan will b
devised whereby City Coundil wi
appropriate money for the installatio
of sanitary plumbing in the fourtee
schools and will turn over the none
to the Board of Health to have II
work done. instead of entrusting n
Board of Education to do IT, Son
of the Councilmen claim $4,000 wi
given by the last Council to the BoaI
of Education to make plumbing in
F. provements i'm the schools. and II
= money was used by the School Boar
: to pay debts instead. Because OF n
and other differences. some OF IN

thirteen MEN WORK
in CITY Chain GANG"
Convicted Migrants Unload
Bricks Today for Street
Department
SOME OPPOSITION
TO THE SENTENCES

Thirteen men, the largest number
to be worked in the "chain gang on
the public streets of Wilmington,
started unloading paving brick at
Tenth and King streets this morning.
The six men who were at work yes
terday had an easy time during the
afternoon, the Street and Sewer De-
partment not having enough teams at
work hauling bricks to keep them
busy. This condition was overcome
today however. ample teams being in
use. The Street and Sewer Depart
ment also secured additional chains
and these were turned over to the
two guards watching the men this
morning.
Considerable opposition has devel-
oped here over the placing OF the
men in the "chain gang" on the
streets. and members of the Central
Labor Union last night adopted reso-
lutions condemning the practice. The
Labor Union officials addressed their
protest to the Police Commissioners,
but when spoken to this morning a
Police Commissioner declared that the
placing Of the men on the streets was
not done by the commission, but by
Judge Churchman.
The men object to being chained.
and yesterday afternoon one OF the
workers was detected slipping the
chain over his shoe The chain was
drawn tighter by the guards, how
ever, and the man continued on al
his work. While one of the men was
being chained yesterday he exclaimed
Talk about Serfdom in Russia" and
another man when chained said
"Never again will I vote the Demo
cratic ticket" he laboring under tn,
impression that that party was re
sponsible for his position.
With opposition developing to tn,
use of the men on the streets, Chic
Of Police Black is having his handi
fun endeavoring to run the com
misary. Several grocers and provi
sions dealers here have been re
quested to submit bids of their good
to Chief Black who is purchasing tn
. foodstun for the chain gang.

received by the editor of THE EVEN

BE SURE OF GRADE

City Clerk NJ. F. Cannon has been
instructed by the city council to
bring to the attention Of the people
the fact that concrete sidewalks
should not be constructed until the
sidewalk grade has been officially es-
tablished by the city engineer. A
careful consideration of this warning
will preclude the possibility of any
property owners being obliged to
construct a second walk to conform
to the uniform grades after they are
established. Anyone contemplating
the construction of sidewalk
should first ascertain from City En-
gineer Edwards whether or not a
permanent grade has been estab-
lished
