Bids on Nitro Rejected

Chairman Graham of the House War
Investigating Committee, said recently
that he intended to submit a verbal re-
port against the sale at present of the
war city of Nitro, w. Va, because the
bids were too low. He said the Gov
eminent has expended nearly $4,000
600 there and that he understands the
highest bid was for less than $6,OOO,0OO.
The War Department announces 1t
has rejected as unsatisfactory "all bids
submitted for the explosive plant and
other Government-owned facilities at
Nitro 1t was explained that none of
the bids would have afforded adequate
return for the property. "The War
Department will Immediately inaugur-
ate negotiations designed to dispose of
this property promptly" it was added.
The investigation committed visited
the powder city and testimony was
taken showing that the total cost of
construction was $50, 100, 600. Members
will charge that work was carried on
after the armistice and that there was
much waste.

White Wilmington Branch

According to an announcement just
made by Louis NJ. Klee, manager of the
White Company, of Wilmington, a new
tract of land, $1,000 square feet, has
been obtained, and on this site will be
erected one of the largest and most
modern automobile buildings in that
city.
The new White building will be To-
Gated at T~hirty-frst and Market Streets
and will cost $4,000 or more. The
building is expected 10 be completed
about January l.
The Wilmington branch is under the
direction of the Philadelphia White or
ganization, whose general manager,
John D. Howley, foresaw three years
ago hat Wilmington needed a larger
White establishment.
1t is proposed to build only on 49,
500 feet of the lot at present and leave
the rest for expansion when needed.

OVER THE RIVER
Oil TO Heat dupont Building

A complete new system has been in
stalled in the boiler room of the DUPONT
building whereby oil is used instead of
coal as fuel The new system makes it
possible to get greatly increased power
from the boilers and also results in an
important saving in the cost of pro-
ducing light, heat and power.
Under the new arrangement the boiler
capacity has practically been doubled
and this makes it possible to take care
of the new requirements created by the
extension of the building without diff
ficulty. The inconvenience and high
costs of handling Goa and disposing of
ashes is also eliminated.
When coal was being used the boilers
were fed by mechanical stokers and
these have now been taken out and
equipment for oil burning installed in
the four boilers. Aside from the in
creased capacity and economy effected,
the new system is highly desirable
from the fact that it makes working
conditions much better and does away
with the dirt and dust caused by the
accumulation of ashes.
The new system was designed and in
stalled by the Engineering Department
of the dupont Company.

Wild Duck More Numerous

Large focks of wild ducks nave been
seen flying in this region. They are
more numerous along the Delaware
river than for years, due, it is saidA to
the fact that the government regula-
lions prohibiting spring shooting are
being enforced. When a duck is killed
in breeding season, it may mean the
loss of a hundre ducks
The game seasons are mostly regu-
lated by Federal laws 1t is $40 fine
for each duck, swan, goose, brant or
coot, commonly called crow duck, cap
tured, killed, injured, destroyed or had
in possession in violation of the act of
March 8, 1916, between March 18th and
October LIST.
Thu river section from New Castle to
Port Penn is one of the best known
ducking grounds in this part of the
country. Delaware City has been the
center of duck shooting for years, the
marshes and abundance of water in
thai section attracting the migratory
fowl.
One branch of duck shooting that
seems to have disappeared to a great
extent is the ice shooting, which form
erly attracted not only Delaware duck
hunters, but even sportsmen from ad-
joining states. There were some ice
shooters last year, but not many. With
cold weather and plenty of ice this
winter, it is expected that the familiar
snow white ducking skiff will again be
seen passing up or down the Delaware
locked fast in an icefoe, with perhaps
a couple of snow white clad duck shoot
ers in the boat, waiting for a good shot
at the elusive fowl.
