BOWERS BEACH.
May Consolidate Schools.


For the benefit of the taxpayers
who help to support our public
schools we urge that they attend the
annual meeting that will be held on
June 5th in the afternoon. At that
meeting a thing of very material in
Q terest will be brought before the vot-
ers, this being the question of con-
sOlidating the rural schools in ac-
cOrdance with the laws passed by the
last legislature. There is some talk
of trying to combine the schools of
Bowers, SaXtons and Warrens with
either Magnolia or Frederick. 1t will
be well for the voters in these three
districts to come out and let their
ideas on the matter be known, for it
Will be the taxpayers who are virtu-
ally the ones interested.
Street Question Again.
The Bowers letter to the Chronicle
seems to have gotten under the hides
of some OF the residents of this town
who claim that we were mistaken in
our article concerning the streets of
this village. Matters have become
quite interesting as Il result what ap-
peared at that time did not seem to
sit we'll on the digestive organs of
some of the town board. They claim
that it is not true about using the
money for lights and other purposes
out of the road funds given them by
the county. Notwithstanding this,
however, the fact remains that the
streets of Bowers are in a miserable
condition, and for a place which de-
rives its living from people who come
there to summer as this town does
the streets are very poor advertise
ment II has been said that shells
cannot be secured with which to re-
pair the roadbed, but other places are
able to get shells when a proper eff
fort is made, and this claim will GER
tainly not bear close scrutiny. The
county has built one of the finest
roads in Kent county to the edge of
Bowers, but the residents have not |
had the necessary interest to continue |
it through the town, even the short |
length that is required. 1t will be |
well for the voters to get busy and |
demand action from the town board |
in order that the streets may be re-
paired before the rush season comes
in July The Chronicle" is ready to
report each move in the matter until
a fine boulevard is shown completed.
Better get busy.
Some Fishing Story.
The writer was informed from one
Of our reliable oystermen that while
up the bay dredging on the natural
rocks he decided to try his luck fish
ing with a hook and line He accord
ngly threw overheard his line and
made it fast while he went to dinner.
On his return the hook and line was
gone. The next day on his return to
he grounds the first dredge that was
love overheard brought up his hook
md line with a large sea crocus prop
srly fastened but trying hard to get
lway. We call that some luck.
Fish Market Was Poor.
Several of our fish brokers got
tung the past week on their large
of trout to the Phila-
.elDbia markets. A number of them
lid not receive money enough for the
Ish to pay for the freight and Grating
t seems as though they have some
.erve. left as they are hitting the trail
gain this week and buying heavily
Fine Glover Field.
Walter McColley, who resides on
he lower farm of Dr.. T. D. Hubbard,
las the finest piece of old-fashioned
lover in this vicinity. With the
Iool scarlet clover crop this year,
lcColley should be able to command
fancy price for the crop.
Shorter Items.
Strawberries are coming to town
