EVERY RESIDENT MUST
Make SEWER CONNECTION
Council Decides Joint Meeting Win Board of
Meeting to be Held in Opera House

les Monday night and some action
may be taken later ordering such
closets closed.
Council received a communica-
tion from Louis L Curtis, secre-
tary of the Board of Health, re-
signing as a member of that body.
1t was the opinion of Council that
Mr.. Curtis has given invaluable
service to the town as secretary
of the board and Messrs. Frazer,
Luton, and Wilson, were appoint
ed special committee to request
him to withdraw his resignation.
A communication was received
from David G. Rose, in which he
spoke of the extension of the
sewer to a point on South Chapel
street where he has six old houses
and four others in course of erec-
tion Mr.. Rose pointed out that he
has no water service there and
that the sewer is no use to him
without the water. He asked
that the water system be extended
to these properties a distance of
$50 feet. Council decided to ex-
tend the system and the Water
and Light Committee was empow-
cred to have the work done.
1t was also decided to enforce
the law against automobiles run
ming within the town limits with
exhausts open.
Another matter discussed was
the increasing Of the Town Off
GERS salary $40 month and the
town to get all fees from the ar
rests of violators of the Automo
bile laws. The suggestion was
made by the officer himself to sill
ence criticism that he makes the
arrests to collect fees for himself
The matter was left in the hands
of Mayor Hossinger and he vii
probably grant the officers re
quest.

The crowd visiting the farm
a st Thursday was somewhat
smaller than that of last year, a
fact due, it is believed, to the late
season and a rush of farm work,
Kent and Sussex sent large dele
cations, but few were present
from New Castle. To overcome
this condition it is believed the
eN ent will be held at the time of
the dedication of Wolf Hall next

AS part of plan to improve
the general sanitary conditions of
the town every property in New
ark will be compelled to connect
with the sewer within six months.
Some members of the Board of
Health met with Town Council
Tuesday night when the health
conditions were discussed. It was
decided for Council, the Board of
H alth and the Sewer Commission
to hold an open meeting on Mon
day night, August 21, which the
citizens are i i t e d to attend
and offer any suggestions relative
to improving sanitary conditions.
The town authorities are deter
mined to wipe out the source of
typhoid fever and the sanitary
campaign will be conducted with
that as the principal object in
view. There are only few cases
of typhoid fever in Newark at the
present time but it is felt the per-
centage of cases for several years
has been entirely too high.
The following resolution adopt
ed by the Board of Health was ap-
proved by Council last night and
that body will enforce the resolu-
ton: Whereas, the sanitary condi-
ton of the town of Newark is
such that it demands some action
by the Board of Health.
Therefore, be it resolved that
all properties abutting on the
sewer lines be ordered to connect
with the sewer within six months
as the present conditions are g
menace to the public health.
The Board of Health also adopt
ed resolution to do away with
pig pens within the town limits
after January /, 1917, and Coun'
Gil will pass an ordinance max
ing it unlawful.
The removal of all outside clos
cts was discussed by the two bod

DEMINC CORRES-
PONDENT TELLS
OF RECEPTION
Plenty Of Patriotism Among
The Citizens


The Citizens
To The Newark Post
Newark, Delaware
Dear Sir:
At last we are settled in per-
manent camp here at Deming,
after a long and tiresome but
happy journey. We arrived here
about $50 Sunday morning and
received a most cordial welcome
from the citizens of Deming.
About thirty large U. S. motor
trucks met us at the station and
hauled us as we'll as our equip
ment through the town to our
camp site, which is about one
half a mile from the town. There,
to our surprise we found the
ground all cleared of bushes and
undergrowth and a pipe line to
each kitchen; and shower baths
and everything ready for service.
The people of the town paid for
all of the work done about camp
before our arrival. There is an
unlimited water supply here and
the water was tested SO 99-1OO
per cent pure. 1t is supplied to
us through six inch water
main and pipes were on the
grounds ready to be installed for
sewer. A row of electric
lights also surrounds the camp!
and we are better located and
equipped in every way than we
were at New Castle. There are no
trees to be seen anywhere except
in the town. Mesquite bushes and
orease-wood are about all that
GROW around us. Little if no SOIL
is TO be seen as the sand reaches
as far as we can see. There are
large mountains on each side OF
the camp. They seem to hang
rioht over us but one is 25 miles
awav and another is 16 miles.
OFF across the city dark pointed
mountain marks the town of Col
unbus which was destroyed by
Villas bandits, and is 30 miles
south of us. The clear atmos-
phere enables one to see hundreds
nf miles. We are just 1884 feet
above sea level and the hottest
dav they have had this year has
NOT been over 100 degrees. The
first rain of the season came the

Receipts Approximate
Seuen Thousand
Automobile Goes to Gibbstown,
New Jersey

Sixty-eight hundred dollars and
all receipts not yet in, is the re-
cord of the fifth Firemen's Carni-
val which closed last Wednesday.
Members of the company believe
they will clear at least four thou
sand dollars. When questioned
today as to whether or not plans
for the building would be taken
up at once, Fire Chief Wilson de-
clared no definite conclusion had
been reached by the company.
A crowd equal to that of the
previous Saturday, reckoned be-
tween five and six thousand,
crowded the grounds on last
Wednesday, the closing evening.
Cars came from miles around,

boring locality to witness the

not one was missing. On Wednes-
day evening, three strangers
from Maryland, and three from
Pennsylvania were requested to
go over the disks and compare
with the printed series. After
the examination was complete
three of this committee guarded
the chance books, while three
carried the disks to the banc
stand, where two men from the
crowd, who had not taken chances
were called on to stir and shake
them all in a closed can. One OF
these selected a disk, looking al
