BANNER YEAR FOR
ALL BUSINESS ON
THIS PENINSULA
More Money on Deposit and
Farmers More Prosperous
Than Ever Before
ONLY 81 DEL MAR VIA
FAILURES REPORTED

The Wilmington agency Of r. G.. Dun
& Co, Equitable Building, today re-
viewed business conditions Of the Del
marvia Peninsula, during the year 1918.
The year was considered the banner
year Of the Peninsula, all previous
records having been surpassed. Busi-
ness conditions generally have shown
decided Improvement over all previous
years. The values Of all commodities
have reached unprecedented prices, for
demands have been unparalleled. Since
the armistice was signed a large num-
Der OF contracts previously placed with
local industrial concerns have been can
celled, but at the present time most Of
the plants have orders booked for
number OF months ahead. All classes
OF labor have been at a premium; very
high wages have been paid, and as a re-
suit merchants in most cases, had the
best year in their careers. There is
more money on deposit on the PENN
sula at the present time than ever be-
fore, and there appears to be a fair
demand for cash legal rates, while there
has been a tendency 10 increase the rates
on permanent loans. The latter has been
especially noticeable in placing mort
cages on city property.
The farmers have had a most success
ful year. While they have been handi-
capped for labor, labor-saving machin-
cry has come to their rescue TO a large
extent, and they as a class, appear to be
in a more prosperous condition than
heretofore. The acreage Of most food
plants was largely increased during
1917 and again during 1918, particularly
In vegetables for canning. for a large
majority Of which previously unheard
Of prices were realized. In some in
stances Gamers were seriously handi-
capped owing to the scarcity OF cans
and labor.

TO present BILL TO
The NEXT LEGISLATURE

Approved by the Chamber OF Com
merce and Manufacturers Association,
a bin has been drafted to create paid
fire department for Wilmington and will
be presented to the General Assembly
this winter.
The bill was drawn by Philip L. Car
rett and was approved by the board Of
directors Of the Chamber Of Commerce
after thorough consideration. Il has
been framed with the idea Of eliminat-
ing many Of the objections that have
been offered TO previous bills to create
a paid department. The same measure
was approved by the Manufacturers
Association at a meeting held yester-
day.
In substance the bill provides for the
creation Of a Department OF Public
Safety which shall administer to both
The Fire Department and the Police De-
partment. The Police Commissioners in
Office July 4, 1919, would be continued
as the directors OF the Department Of
Public Safety until the end OF their
respective terms. Thereafter the direct
0rs would be appointed by the mayor
for six-year terms instead Of by the
resident judge OF New Castle County
as at present. The new department
would be invested with all the powers
and authority which City Council and
the mayor have relative TO police and
fire protection and with all the powers
now granted the Board Of Police Com
missioners. While the new department
would assume control July 4 next, it is
provided that the Volunteer Fire De-
partment shall continue in existence
until the necessary FIRE apparatus and
other property has,been acquired.
