BY COUNCIL
Flagstone Discussion Resum-
ed-Curfew Resolution
Abandoned

The Silent Policemen" placed
at different points along Main
street recently are proving so sue
ccsSful in adjusting traffic condi-
tions that Council at its meeting
Monday night authorized Mayor
Frazer to secure more of the stan
dards and also school signs.
The matter of the fagstone laid
in front of the College property on
the south side Of Main street was
held over for another month.
Members of Council claim that the
placing Of this fagstone was in
violation of a town ordinance
which provides for cement and
that it will have to come out.
Mayor Frazer reported that he had
been in communication with H.
Rodney Sharp, chairman of the
Committee on Development and
that he would be in Newark short
L. to discuss the matter.
1t developed that the curfew
resolution adopted by Council at
its last meeting to keep children
under l6 years of age off the
streets after 9 o'clock at night is
not working out as was planned.
The resolution was adopted at the
request of some colored citizens
who petitioned Council for it.
Council could not specify any par
ticular locality in resolution of
this kind, although it was under
stood it was for the colored sec
tion of the town. To carry out the
resolution the colored officer was
supposed to ring the bell of the
school on Cleveland Avenue at 6
o'clock each evening. Mayor
Frazer reported Monday night
that one of the trustees of the
coolred school made inquiries and
when he learned that the resolu.
tion was not being enforced
throughout the town he refused tC
loan the key of the school house
for the purpose stated The mat
ter will probably be dropped en-
tirely.
At the request of the Board Of
Health Council will order that {
property on North College Avenue
owned by w. r. Kennedy and two
on Elkton Road owned by Mrs. f
Campbell be connected with the
sewer within 30 days.

Henry Russell Home
DESTROYED By Fire

The home of Henry Russell on
his farm near Head of Christiana
Church, was totally destroyed by
fire shortly before noon yesterday.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
although it is supposed to have
been started by sparks from the
chimney as the roof was burning
when it was discovered. Mr.. Rus
sell was away at the time and his
son was working in a field some
distance from the house. Only
Mrs. Russell was in the house.
A telephone call was sent to the
Newark firemen and Charles W.
Strahorn, accompanied by a num-
ber of firemen, drove the automo-
bile engine to the Russell farm.
The blaze had gained too much
headway when they arrive to save
the building but they kept the
flames from spreading to any of
the other buildings. All of the
furniture, clothes, preserves, etc.
were saved except what was on the
third floor. The loss was probably
about $4,000 partly covered by in
Surance.
1t was an old log building but
had been remodelled. For many
wears Robert J Grove, now of
Newark, owned and with his fam.
ilv lived on this farm. The house
was on the boundary line, part OF
it being in Maryland and part II
Delaware.

ATHLETIC EQUIPMENT AND
OTHER GIFTS FOR COMPANY E
Articles Purchased BY Committee after Men Decide
uhat they Uant- Subscriptions amount 10 $50

In order that the men them
selves should be entirely suited in
the matter Cf gifts to be secured
and presented to Company E of
Newark with funds collected by
special committee appointed by
Mayor Frazer last month for that
purpose, the committee recently
requested the Officers of the Com
pany to have the men take a vote
and decide on just what they
would like to have. This was done
and after going over the matter
throughly a list was given the
committee containing the articles
the men had decided on. 1t was
the original intention of the com
mittee to purchase for the Com
pany complete baseball outfit for
"a men or two teams. The men
were we'll pleased with the idea of
baseball equipment but thought it
best to reduce the number of uni
forms so that other athletic equip
ment and some other articles that
will be greatly needed could be Sc
cured.
The committee has raised about
$3.50. Captain McKe0n and Lieu
tenant O'Daniel attended recent
meeting of the committee and went
over with them the list decided on
by tho men, This was satisfac-
tory to a large majority of the
comittee with the result that the
articles specified have been pur-
chased. Some of the things were
bought in Newark but the athletic
equipment was bought in Phila-
delphia yesterday by James A. Nc
Kelvey, a member Of the commit
tee and Lieutenant O'Daniel, re-
presenting the Company who were
named for that purpose. The
equipment is expected to arrive in
Newark the latter part of the
week and will be presented to the
Company at once. 1t was not
necessary to spend all the money
and something else Of benefit to
the men will probably be purchas-

half miles, be paved with Warren
ite and awarded the contract to
the Standard Bitulithic Co. of New
York, which bid S91, ,l05. The vote

which numerous taXpavers prefer
red. In oDen session there was
no discussion, but after adjourn
ment members Of the court SAID

they considered it the best paving
material.
