TO REPAIR FLEMING'S BRIDGE

1t will be necessary to remove the cen
ter pier of Fleming's Landing bridge
and build new pier, according to the
statement made on Saturday by New
Castle County Engineer James Wilson
who investigated the bridge Friday.
The work will require about nine weeks,
he says, but will be started at once. 1t
will be necessary to move the present
spans to one side and replace the present
center pier. Mr.. Wilson visited the
structure Friday in company with Kent
County Engineer Scott and Levy Court
Commissioners Of both Counties An
investigation was made by diver, who
reported that the scour of the stream
had exposed the concrete facing of the
pier piling so that the pier had begun
to lean and was about 10 or II inches out
of "true." There was space enough
under the concrete facing for man to
walk, it was reported. Mr.. Wilson
said he would start making drawings of
the pier at once and upon their compile
ton will submit them to the Government
engine RS for approval. Work will then
be started and pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible, the cost of which
will be born by New Castle and Kent
Counties.

Suit For Breach OF Contract

Council for Richardson and Robbins,
the Dover Gamers, have filed suit in the
superior court against John P. Grier,
tomato grower Of West Dover hundred,
for the alleged breach of contract, and
it is understood that wholesale suits may
be brought by other packers Of the state
and peninsula.
The packers some time ago entered
into contracts with the growers of to-
matoes at 25 cents basket, which is
considerable increase over the contract
price of last year, when it was Is cents
basket. The growers were to plant so
many acres of tomatoes for delivery.
The government has commandeered
18 per cent. of the entire output OF
packers in Kent county, and there are
possibilities that a greater percentage
eventually will be taken. AS a conse-
quence, the price of tomatoes has in
preased and numerous growers are said
to have Jumped" their contracts.

RED CROSS

The German race is waif left to die
unless the Red Cross accept the task of
rescuing it.
We made an appeal last week for
gauze cutters, three women came to
our assistance. Are these the only women
willing to give one morning or afternoon
more week? We have some finished
work to be sent to Wilmington, will some
one offer to take it for us No matter
what you are asked to do for the Red
Gross try to do it even if it does mean
some effort on your part and don't get
it into your head that you are being i'm
posed on. Suppose our soldiers who are
going to do our fighting for US, took it
into their heads that they were being
imposed on and decided to give up their
jobs, what then
"Don't give up the ship and retire in
dismay,
Cause hammers are thrown where
you'd like bouquet.
Now matter how much we stay at
home, do or give it is nothing compared
to what those who are going will do and
give.
AS a Red Cross member should like
to suggest that the faded flags in Mid
dletown be taken down Some people
seem to think that all they have to do
to show that they are patriotic is to
stick flag on the front of their house
or store and leave it there until it is
tattered and torn. If the flag isn't
worth the trouble Of taking it in at night
it isn't worth much. If it was some
thing you really valued you would not
leave it out in the rain. Some of our
citizens have said. ''Oh, well when it
gets faded, | will buy new one y
Things have come to pretty pass when
our flag has only its money value.
Don't insult "Old Glory" either take
care of it or don't fly it at all.
