LEGISLATURE is GETTING
DOWN TO REAL BUSINESS
SOME BILLS PASSED, OTHERS
WITH SMYRNA'S, FAVORABLE.
Republicans Still Threaten to Pass the
Kent County ripper" and Other
Partisan Bills, Regardless

Echoes of what might be expected |
in the attempt at passage of certain
bills carrying appropriations to be OPP
posed by the Democratic members II
the Republican members insist on the
passage of the Ripper bills, was
heard in the House yesterday after
noon, when Representatives McNabb,
Democrat, and Lyons, Republican, had
a tilt over the holding up of all appro-
priatiohs. Lyons stated after the ses-
sion yesterday afternoon that the
time would shortly come when the
gauntlet would be thrown down to the
Democrats by the calling for the bills
carrying appropriation, and if they
were defeated the blame would be
upon the Democratic members solely.
In these appropriations will include
funds for Delaware College, the blind
commission and similar claims. 1t is
virtually agreed that the amendments
to the state income tax law will be
made to conform to the federal law,
allowing 81 1000 exemption for single
man, $4,000 exemption for married
man and 5000 for each child. Having
been recommited Monday afternoon
the House temperance committee
went into session again yesterday
morning on the statewide prohibition
bill. Several more amendments were
put on the bill. One of the most i'm
portant amendments cuts out tina
part of Section Is of the bill relativ'
to keeping and storing or giving ava!
Intoxicating liquors. Other amend
ments were made to properly protec
, the druggists of the state. A larg
delegation of temperance folks, som
from Smyrna, will visit Dover tC
morrow to boost passage of the bi
when it comes up. The Legislature
n passing several bills. Those affectin
'e Smyrna and Clayton have been repo

his fine home and contents are en-
tirely gone as the result of a fire
which visited his home early Tuesday
morning of last week. Mrs. jefferson
and two little grandchildren escaped,
but Mr.. jefferson returned to the
house hoping to save some belong
ings, when the roof fell in cutting his
leg terribly and probably causing
some internal injuries. He managed
to crawl out of the building and how
he escaped being burned to death is
nothing short of miraculous. He was
found by a tree near the burning
structure and was hurried to the hos
pital in Camden. The family lost
their clothing, household furnishings
and everything. Fortunately, helping
hands prevented the flames from
spreading to the stable and OutbRild-
ings and all the stock was saved. The
loss on his home and the contents Will
amount to several thousand dollars.

WATER WORKS ROTARY PUMP.

Will Save Operating Expenses.

Day Current Opens New Plan mat
Will Save Operating Expenses.
At the meeting of the Smyrna Town
Council, Friday evening, consulting
Engineer Frank Collins, recommended
a motor driven rotary pump to re-
place the worn out pump at the Water
Works, declaring that Council would
save by pumping with electricity as
long as continuous current would be
in use. The other pump, steam
pump could be retained for emer-
gencv in case the power plant ever be-
came disabled. The point made by
Mr.. Collins was particularly pleasing
in that the plan will save coal and
operating expenses and by having
both an electric and a steam pump,
the water works will always be safe
guarded. For number of years the
need of a new, dependable pump has
been necessary and now that day cur
rent is coming, saving will result
over installing another steam pump.

The annual municipal election of
the town of Smyrna took place Mon
day afternoon between the hours of |
two and five o'clock, and with the ex-
ception of an exciting fight in the
Third District, resulting in the de-
feat of one member, the entire Town
Council was reelected. Harry B.
Grieves, for eighteen years member
of Council, and most of the time sec
retary and directing head of the Light
and Water Committee, was defeated
for reelection by Edward 7. Porter,
teller of the National Bank of Smyr-
ma, the vote being Is to 22. The
whole fight of the election seemed to
center in the Third District. So well
and quietly planned was the Opposi-
ton, that the whole district was
'combed' for votes and pledges and
out of a possible total of AZ votes in
this district 81 were polled, Of which
Edward T. Porter received % votes
and Harry B. Grieves Is. Mr.. Grieves
was aware of the ticket to be put up
against him several days before cleo
ton and really desired to withdraw
from the race but his fellow members
of Town Council urged him to stand
for the reason they felt they needed
him the coming year because of his
familiarity with the light plant, .es'
pecially since it is now assured that
the plant will be remodeled and stand
ardized to take on day current. Mr.
Grieves consented to allow his name
: to be used but the opposition to hin
/, in his district was already planned
|. and organized, the result of whicl
e was a surprise to Council and hi
r friends as well. Edward 7. Porter

he will make a wide-awake progres
