need Retaining
Walls ON TURNPIKE

County Engineer James Wilson on
Thursday inspected the Concord
crossing and found that under all con-
ditions the work has been done in ac-
cordance with the agreement with the
county. Early in the winter farmers
and others who use the Concord turn
pike were in the habit of taking down
the bars and driving through the place
where the Improvements were being
made. Then the bars were removed
and the public allowed to use the turn
pike although at that point the work
was not finished and cannot be finish
cd until settled weather comes.
When the county bowed to the
public demand for the overhead rail-
road crossing at the point. abutting
property owners we're paid damages
provided they should build retaining
walls to prevent bank slides Some
of the owners have complied with the
conditions but others have not done
so.
Much has been said concerning the
grade beyond Concord station but 1t
remains at seven per cent.

RACH|TECTS NOT
ANXIOUS FOR JOB

Although plans and specifications
for the Sl35.OOO addition to the Will
mington High School are to be sub
mitted TO the Board OF Public Educa-
tion by s o'clock on Monday evening,
April u. it is understood that few, il
any Wilmington architects win suo-
NIT plans. The majority of local ar
chitects have signed letter directed
TO Samuel H. Baynard. president Of
the Board OF Education. in which they
set forth reasons why they are not
anxious to submit plans.
These reasons are: First, the time
limit 10 prepare plans is too short.
second. the cost is too great, and third.
that no prizes are offered for the
first. second and third set of plans
that may be accepted by the Board.
Another objection advanced is that
the Board is to pass on the plans
without the aid of a consulting archi-
tect which is considered unwise by
the architects.
When several local architects were
spoken to about the matter today they
all agreed that they had agreed not
to submit plans, but it was the opin-
ion of all that the Board of Education
would see the matter from the view
point of the architects and modify
their present plans so that city archi-
tects could submit such plans. One
architect declared that while the pub
lished proposal invited competitive
plans the fact that no prizes were
offered for the first second and third
set of plans to be- accepted by the
Board Of Education lade il plain tc
them that there was be little COM
petition. In other y rds he said
local architects were NJ willing 10
take q gamblers chance IN submitting
plans for the work
A. Edwin Rhodes, instructor of draw
ing at the High School, has already pre-
pared a set of plans. and these hav
been viewed 10y the Board of Education
/ Il is said that if these plans are TO b
accepted. Mr. Rhodes should be- paid fo
them, and the board should secure th
services OF consulting architect, sucl
as was done in the new county and mu
nicipal building project With the ser
vices of a consulting architect. it is sai
that If any information was desired b.
an architect as TO whether the propose
addition was to have so many rooms
elevators, etc. all the architects woul
he advised and none would have advan
/ tage over the others.
II is also said that the prepara
tion of plans for such building cos
considerable, and with the Board o
! Education sitting as the iudros the,
we're pitting their knowledge agains
that of architects in such matters.
While the majority of the loca
architects favor consulting architect
Il is understood that at least one loca
architect has not signed the protes

BIC SUN SPOT
NEAR soils face

II YOU are a scientist of the class
which believes that sunspots have an
evil effect on the earth. take TO your
cyclone cellar and prepare for trouble
The largest sunspot in several years can
now be seen and probably will be visible
for another week.
Il is believed that the spot causes
the most trouble when nearest the
centre of the sun. If that is true pre-
pare for more trouble about Monday.
II may rain hard. It may be excep-
tionally cold. There may even be an
other blizzard. But whatever the re-
suit Monday will not be an ideal
spring day if the sun-spots have any
thing to do with il.
The spots which are visible we're yes
tcrday photographed. In diameter tho
largest spot found in the picture scene;
TO I've about 54.l50 miles. II is so large
that there is no question that severa
bodies the size of our world could be put
together and still be too small TO cove
the effected area of the sun. The lengtl
OF the group of spots. which contains il
addition TO the large one three Of small
er size. is about hundred and fifty
thousand miles.
The largest spot of which there is
record was seen on the sun in 1858.
Ii was $4,000 miles in diameter. COW
ering space larger than that oc-
cupied by the entire group now Wis
ible. Other large spots appeared in
1892 and 1898. While IL is not un-
usual to find a spot as large as 2O,-

nary.
AT the rate which the spots have
moved in the last two days it is
thought that they will be visible for

of an ordinary pair of binoculars.
