 On the first date mentioned by The Star there were a goodly num- Der who were interested in the mat ter came out but it seemed difficult to get together. IL was. however, agreed 10 by a number of those present to meet again on the fol- lowing Wednesday Dec. 27). There was no secrecy about it. We did all we could to advertise the meeting and it seems rather strange that the Hatfield correspondent should not have been cognizant of the fact. On the above date there was a good at tendance, meeting in the former Odd Fellows hall The required ar- ticles Of agreement were adopted, officers elected and a committee of appraisers appointed to begin work lat once Something over S25,00O was applied for at that meeting, by nearly or quite thirty individual farmers The meeting was ad- journed to Saturday January 6, 1917, when we expect a report from the committee on apraisements. All persons interested in this subject are cordially invited to attend. Any information desired will be freely given as far as our knowledge ex- tends.

A DREAM BECOMES A NIGHTMARE

Sir-The residents OF Thirty-third

Il a great favor and service II your
paper would publish, for the benefit of
the public, and as warning Of safe
ty for any one who may be contem-
plating taking up residence in the
above neighborhood. the conditions
which exist there. Residents are be-
ing driven from their homes by flood
ed cellars and foul, overlooking wells.
The neighborhOod should be condemn
ed as UNIT and unsafe for people to
remain in but the Board of Health
has made very light of the situation
and failed TO keep promises to remedy
conditions as far as possible. BY its
actions we have found It to be a Board
of Health In name only, and. there
fore, more OF q disgrace and draw
back than a credit and help to the
city. This and past actions on its
part should be of sufficient cause for
the people to come forth and demand
that II be dismissed, If the city at
large is to be protected against the
spread OF disease. II we are not cor
rect in our assertions, then we have
not a clear understanding OF what
the Board Of Health is for, and will
appreciate any explanation you have
10 offer through the columns of your
paper.
in keeping with the numerous ar
ticles which have appeared in recent
issues OF the city papers. we heartily
indOrse the statements already made
concerning the incompetence or will
full neglect on the part OF the Street
and Sewer Department TO properly at
tend to the city's streets. Thirty
third street west Of Market which is
practically the only outlet that a large
number of people living in that vi
entity have. has reached a most de-
porable condition Mud and water to
the shoe tops and no sidewalk. Not
nc for hogs to pass over much less
human beings. Deliveries had to be
discontinued weeks ago, and the resi-
dents were practically shut Off from
the rest of the city. The Street and
Sewer Department has been three
years getting a sewer TO that section
OF Washington street between Thirty
third and Thirty-fourth streets, and
now both sides of the street are COM
petely built up and are still waiting
for "a sewer. No garbage or waste col
lections and insufficient lighting. Moth
ing in return for the taxes that are
paid, but a receipt and a water sup
ply which. from all appearances, the
city must have felt completed their
services.
Several days ago Twenty-third and
Monroe streets claimed the first prize
for being the muddiest locality in
the city; Fourteenth and Poplar
streets has since claimed it, and the

THAT ANTIADULTERY STATUTE.

THAT ANII-ADULTERY STATUTE.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir:-Delaware has no law against
adultery. The only States in the Union
which do not have statutes making
adultery a crime. are Delaware, Louis
lana and Tennessee. This negligence
can be corrected al the present session
OF the Legislature, so that Delaware
may belong with the majority that
stands for morality and decency.
At the present session OF the Legis-
lature, a bill against adultery. known
as House Bill No. 312. has been pre-
pared by the Delaware Society for
Social Hygiene, through the chair
man Of its legislative committee Hen
ry r. Isaacs. on March /. that bill
was given hearing in committee. II
is hoped it will be reported out IA
vorably.
This bill defines adultery. fixes "a
penalty Of one years Imprisonment. or
$500 fine. or both but provides that
no conviction may be secured on the
uncorroborated testimony Of the seq
ond party to the crime
Delaware needs this law. Consider
these facts:
1.--Out OF rs girls In the Delaware
Industrial School Is are there as the
victims of married men.
q That it Is not uncommon for
men and women to come, even from
Maryland. Pennsylvania and New
York. to register as man and wife, at
some lodging house In Delaware, be-
cause they know they are safer from
detection in State where adultery is
not legally q crime. r wife OF hus-
band. from another State. whose part
ner has been faithless has no redress
in Delaware.
3.-The Wilmington Chief OF Po-
lice has requested the passage Of such
a law, TO help him control the furn-
ished room houses.
You can help to pass this bill by
writing or telephoning to the Hor
