AGAIN TALKS OF
Dividing 9TH Ward
CivicS Association Will Hear
Committee Report on
Subject Soon
SMALLER SCHOOL
BOARD DISCUSSED

AT the meeting Of the Ninth Ward
Civic Association, held last evening,
in No. 30 School, Concord avenue and
Boulevard, Robert Adair in presenting
the report Of the legislative commit
tee. stated that within the last few
days the Alumni Association of the
Wilmington High School had started a
movement to have the General Assem-
bly, enact a law that will wipe out the
present method of electing the Board
Of Education. He said it was pro-
posed to elect the Commissioners at
large and reduce the number to sew
en- He stated that it was a live topic
and thought it should be threshed out
by the association, and some action
taken. The matter, however, was not
touched on by any of the other mem
bers, and no action was taken.
Mr.. Adair said that while the asso-
citation had gone on record as favor
ing the proposed city charter, they
should be prepared to act independ-
emily in the matter of the division of
/ the ward or some other step should
the charter fail of passage, as char
ters have since 1903. He thought the
ward should either be divided or some
of the smaller wards consolidated.
He stated that the First ward had the
same representation in City Council
and in the Board of Education as the
Ninth ward, although it has about
one-fifth the number Of voters. He
said this question was being consider
ed by a special committee of the as
sociation. He stated that special COM
mittees were also considering the
! questions of the Washington street
bridge and the matter of a bill provid-
ing for the razing of the Court House.
Mr.. Adair said a committee of three
| had been appointed several months
ago to find out the sentiments Of the
citizens Of the ward on the Court
! House subject. It was stated that the
| committee had not made a report. Mr.
Adair thought that a watch should be
kept on legislation, that the associa.
tion only woke up after the bill to de-
stroy the Court House was passed
that many citizens knew nothing OF
| it till il became a law.
W. T. Morris suggested that a cam
paign be started to increase the
membership of the association
The Rev. R. l.. Jackson thought
the membership committee. which
consisted of but three members
should be enlarged, and moved that
the members be increased TO ten
which was agreed to. President Stroud
will appoint the committee.
". L. Adams raised an objection to
the minutes Of the last meeting in
which it was stated that he had moved
that memorial be sent to the Legis.
lature fayoring the proposed city
charter. He thought the word "me.
mortal" indicated that they expected
the charter to be defeated, that al.
though all the newspapers predicted
its defeat, still he thought the asso-
citation should not look for it's defeat
He admitted he had used the word
memorial, but thought it should bt
changed to resolution.
Because of the rain the attendance
was smaller than usual.

Drainage PROJECT
BEFORE SENATE
State Commission Prepares
a Measure TO Meet the
Needs of Delaware
THINK IT WOULD
HELP THE STATE
Special to ThE EvENING JOURNAL.

Special to TIE EVENING JOURNAL.
STATE HOUSE, DOVER, Del, Jan.
lg-That residents of any particular
section of the State may drain and re-
claim swamp and lowlands, with the
eo-operation Of but not at the expense
of the State is provided for in a lengthy
bill prepared under the direction OF Dr.
Caleb r. Layton, OF Georgetown, a mem-
Der of the State Drainage Commission,
and introduced today by Senator An
derson. of Sussex county.
The Anderson measure follows the
method for comprehensive drainage
an0 reclamation enacted few
Years ago by North Carolina, and
which has proved successful, and was
adopted by Maryland two years ago,
Dr. Layton said. IL provides that the
majority of the land owners in any
section. or owners of a majority of
the acreage that would be affected in
that section, may petition the resi-
dent associate judge of any county
Tor designation of the section as
drainage district which il is desired
to Improve. The resident judge shall
anpoint a board of review, comprising
two freeholders and a competent engi-
neer. TO view the section desired to
he ditched, drained or reclaimed.
Should the Judge be satisfied from the
report of the board of review that
the project would improve the swamp
or lowland section so as to be for the
general welfare of the community,
he is empowered to appoint three
drainage commissioners to supervise
the ditching, drainage or reclamation
nroiect. The commissioners are en-
powered td issue bonds, to defray the
cost of the Improvement, the bonds
To be a first judgment against the
land TO be improved OF reclaimed ex-
cepting State and county taxes.
These bonds must be paid within
twelve years, and an appropriation OF
ten thousand dollars is required to be
made by the State. out Of which up to
$4,000 may be loaned by the State 10
pay preliminary expenses OF the pro-
1 iect up to the time of turning II over
to the drainage commissioners.
! This money must be returned to the
/ State appropriation out of the pro-
ceeds of the bonds issued against the
/ property to be improved, drained or
reclaimed. The drainage commission
ers shall receive three dollars for each
I day of actual services, TO be paid out
of the bonds sale proceeds.
DIR Layton says such law has re
suited in the conversion OF much swamp
and lowlands in North Carolina anC
Maryland into rich. farming land. the
cost of it being borne by the property
itself and he believed il would prove OF
vast benefit to Delaware. The state
drainage commissions report will b.
presented in the near future. he saws

lclusions OF the commission.

CITY PHYSICIAN
Former New Yorker Chosen
Out of List of Seven
Applicants
DOING AWAY WITH
WATER NUISANCE

DR.. V. NJ. Myers OF No. SOC West
Tventy-third street, was appointed
city physician by the Board of Health
az its meeting yesterday afternoon
The appointment is subject to con-
firmation by City Council, which has
not yet declared the ordinance pro-
viding for a city physician q law
The selection of Or. Myers was
made from list of seven applicants.
He is a native of New York, has lived
here six months and is "a years Old.
The position pays 81 200 year.
DR.. Myers first attended the Albany
Medical College of Union University,
staying there but one year. after
which he went TO the New York
Homeopathic Medical College, Flower
Hospital. from which he graduated
after three years. He then spcnt
enc year as an inferno at the Metro
politan Hospital, after which he be-
came house physician and house
surgeon at the Hahnemann Hospital.
both of which are in New York city.
The board heard numerous COM
plants concerning surface water
freezing in the streets. In ali these
cases il was claimed that the houses
from which the water flower were not
connected with sewers aud the usual
notices were served on the owners.
The board appointed City Engineer
Taylor and Health Commissioner Hut
ton TO investigate a complaint of

CITY COPS Object TO
EARLY Retirement

II is expected that every patrolman
on duty in the city win attend a hearing
of the Police Fund Commissioners in
CITY Court room tomorrow evening
when the members will voice expressions
against proposed amendment to the
act creating the Police Pension Fund
The amendment provides that all OIL
GERS who have served twenty years on
the force may retire after that period.
A similar amendment was defeated at
Dover two years ago. Just whc is be-
hind the movement at this time is not
known, no one appearing TO want Ia
share the responsibility. The presen'
law permits an officer 20 retire after
twenty-five years service Oh the force
As it is at present there are num-
Der OF officers who have been on duty
that long but they do not desire to re-
tire. Several of the officers have served
twenty-seven years, but they are still
active and ut the present time there
is but one pensioncr ON the list, she
being former Matron Mrs Mary White.
The pension fund now amounts t.
$4,000
Should the 20 year clause be adopted
there would be probably a dozen ol
more members of the force who coulc
then retire should they so desire. This
is one of the reasons why the majority
Of the force opposed the 20-year amend
ment. They are afraid the retired list
would be so large that the pension fun,
would soon become exhausted, and that
to keep it up, the monthly tax levieC
upon them would have to be proportion
atcly greater

ROB POSTOFFICE
At GREENWOOD
YeggS Get $40 In Money

ROB BLACKSMITH SHOP
TO GET TOOLS
speeial 10 ME EvENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Jan. l0.-"Yeggs' broke
open the Greenwood Postoffice late last
night or early this morning and after
blowing opeH the safe, which was in the
front room and on the main street, Sc
cured $40 in money and several money
orders and all the stamps. Because the
stamps had not been checked up by
Postmaster Edward Ochletree, he was
unable at noon to know just the exact
number of stamps taken.
A blacksmith shop was broken open
in the town, from which We're stolen the
tools with which the postofiice was
opened.
No one in Greenwood. apparently.
seems to have heard any noise be-
cause of the high winds and heavy
rain.
Evidence that the robbers jumped
a train after the robbery was obtained
by finding of the bank book of Post
master Ochletree with some papers
in it, near Wyoming this morning, the
idea being that the robbers did not
care to have the bank book about
them.

On the early rise there were gains of 6 points in Bethleham Steel Sta in Crucible Steel g in American Coal Products, ( points in Republic Steel, Aliis Chalmers Westinghouse Electric and others. A changed attitude toward these shares however, was shown quickly Large offerings were made at highest fig ures and there was a reaction There after the market was unsettled ire quently changing in tone. although good advances were shown in some specialties, the close of the market did not again attain the maximum fig ures of the first hour

FRESH FOOD SHORTAGE.

PANAMA, July 3.O-Because of the shortage of fresh fruits and veget- ables in the markets of Panama and Colon and the Canal Zone, it has been decided by the Panama Canal author ities to foster a movement for the increased production of these articles of food The first step in this direc- tion is the construction of fruit and vegetable warehouse in the vicinity of the native landing place on the water front of Panama
 The Commissary Branch of the Pan anna Canal Supply Department re- gently completed a census of the var ious fruits that come to the markets in Panama and it was found that not nearly enough of these commodities reach the market to supply the de- mand from the consumers on the Can al Zone In consequence large quan- titles of fresh fruits. for instance, are imported from Jamaica, Barbados and other West Indian islands
 The strength of the local market is seen in the fact that yams which are proftably grown in Panama are never equal to the demand. About eight to ten tons are consequently imported each week from Jamaica Many other fruits and vegetables are proftably grown in the republic but owing to the lack of marketing facilities and insufficient knowledge regarding a market, the native population does not grow sufficient for the demand.
