Since the State OWNS e-fourth
Of the property in Newark does it
not seem only reasonable that they
should bear their part OF the eX-
pense Of maintaining an efficient
fire-fghting apparatus? You will
naturally ask, "What does the town
of Newark do for their fire depart
ment? ?" Our answer is that they
have purchased a fire fighting ap-
paratus, at cost of $4,000. 1t

$4,000; it appropriates from the

Delaware College is a State In
stitution. The idea was never so
practically appreciated as it was
last week when the Governor and
members of the General Assembly
paid a visit Of inspection to the
College and Farm properties. Ex-
pressions of approval and pride in
the work were heard on every side.
Never in the history of the insti-
tuition has the interest been so gen
uinely expressed.
Governor Miller had already
given his approval to the work of
the institution. This, with the re-

Strongly featured in this unani

that Delaware College is now il

PLEA FOR THE FIRE COMPANY

The bill presented yesterday by
Senator Hoffeckcr, asking for an
appropriation for the local fire
company merits the serious CON
sidpration Of every member OF the
General Assembly. The local com
pany has a fire equipment that Is
unsurpassed in the State The new
auto engine recently purchased is
entirely paid for. This appropria-
ton is asked for a maintenance OF
the efficiency now possible. In
view of the State property here, it
is merely a business proposition to
assist in anything that will better
guarantee the buildings from fire.
We are presenting an article by
one of our leading citizens in which
are given some facts having a bear
ing on the question. The writer
of the article is a strong advocate
of the College but in this review
has given statistics showing how
the company is warranted In ask
ING Tor assistance.
The Aetna Hose, Hook and Lad
der Co. of Newark, through a spec
ial act of the Legislature, is asking
the State for some support toward
the maintenance Of their apparatus,
it seems to the writer not without
Just cause. | believe that the citi-
a,'cr i Newark would like it under
Stood that they thoroughly apprec-
late having the State College locat-
ed here, and that any movement to
take it elsewhere would meet with
the strongest opposition. Our citi-
zens appreciate the dignity which
the college adds to the town and
the high standing it gives among
other towns. | would like to show,
however, that the college is by no
means the support of the town, and
in fact adds but little toward the
town s resources. | wish to men
ton this for the reason that at the
last legislature it was remarked by
one of the legislators that if there
was any more money left in the
treasury, Newark wanted it.
Let us stop to consider the finan
cial aid which the college gives thu
town. The tax budget for town
purposes amounts to about 800
OOO A fair assessment of the col
lege property has been fixed a
100000. All of this property
about fourth of the property o
Newark, is exempt from taxation
The town is bonded for the ligh
and water plants, yet the Colleg
is not held for any part of this in
debtedness. The plants mentione'
were a losing investment for years
The college did not have to bea
any part of the deficit, however
but were furnished light and waite
at the same rate as the taxpayers
Again it has been said that larg
Federal and State appropriation

Newark. We have thirteen colleg
professors living in the town Q
