Councilman $. S. Deemer fighting the
ordinance. After two hours of talk,
Council did nothing more than get the
ordinance off the table, it having been
laid there two months ago before final
passage. MIR. Deemer based his opposi
ton nthe ground that the street i'm
provement commission, which handled
the money from the last bond issue, had
refused 10 give Council detailed state
ment of where the money went. Hc
claimed that the commission had not
done its work Mayor Lavender ac-
cused Mr.. Deemer Of hanging onto a
technicality TO block a public improve
ment Mr.. Deemer denied this, declaring
that he would like TO see New Castle
get a million dollars in debt and get a
sewer system, pavements and other i'm
provements.
Mr.. Deemer wanted to know why the
commission got their salaries when they
act because two months ago II had laid
the ordinance on the table on motion Of
Mr.. Deemor Finally Mr.. Deemer show
ed himself a good sport" by moving to
take IL of tho table and then voting
against his own motion The argument
brought ont the fact that four q the
five Councilmen were for the ordinance
with or without statement from the
street improvement commission but for
some reason they did not pass the
ordinance.
Council took the bit in it's teeth In
the matter of the cabin squatters on the
Harmony street wharf and by unanimous
vote ordered the street committee to
proceed at once, by law, to remove every
| cabin from the wharf. Every property
owner and resident living near the wharf
complained TO Council that some Of the
cabins, one In particular, were proving tc
be nuisances. Council served notice on
the cabin owners TO vacate but they

ENGLISH PRoDIGAL OF FOOD
Average Family of Great Britain Has Not Had . Meager Diet Even
 With the War Raging.

For the first two years of the war, and until few months ago, there was little curtailment of foodstuffs in the average English family. The English are heavy eaters, remarks writer in Farm and Preside. The climate calls for plenty of food. And the average English family hasn't had meager diet, even with war raging.
 An illustration of this Is the fact that German prisoners in England have three liberal meals day, and even then some of the British have insisted their prisoners ought to be better fed. Like ourselves. the English have been prodlgal of their food and haven't until lately seen the need of strictly conserving the supply. In addition to this disposition to wastefulness, the English have had to divert large sup plies of foodstuffs to France and Italy, as we'll as to help out Belgium.
 The French and Italians live much more sparingly in normal times than
