SEARCHLIGHT DE-
MONSTRATION DRAWS
LARGE CROWD
Engineers Who Helped R-34
to Land Spend Night
in Newark

An unsual privilege was accord
ed residents of this vicinity on
Friday night when through the
kindness of the Engineers in
charge of two huge government
searchlights, they were given a
demonstration on Delaware Ave.
that evening about 1890.
The crew was on it's way to
Washington from Hazelhurst
Field, Mineola where it had as
sisted in the landing and depar-
ture of the English dirigible R-34
the first to make the transoceanic
flight. When the identity Of the
Engineers became known they
were importuned to give demon
stration. This they were willing
to do provided the permission Of
the town authorities could be
secured. Mayor Frazer was reach
ed and extended cordial invita-
tion to the government representa-
tives to conduct a demonstration.
The Engineers were in charge
of Master Engineer Burton, Senior
Grade, 4S8th Engineers and the
light was under the personal d.
rection Of Master Engineer Gar
nett of the Engineering Depart
ment at Washington, d. C. His as
sistants were H. A. Evans, w. H
Hammers and P. j. Brinton, Master
Engineers, Junior Grade, and E
w. Gerber, Master Engineer, Sen.
ior Grade, all of the 48Sth En-.
/ gineers.
They had two 60-inch lights OF
the "Dishpan" type each having 6
3,500,000 beam candlepower which
shows a distinct 10x14 feet target
at distance of 16 miles ant
whose beam is visible for 80 miles
The demonstration was skill
| fully handled by the men, a fac
which Master Engineer Garnet
attributed to the splendid training
received under Captain c. Lichen
berry, Commanding officer of tn,
488th Engineers who was not, how
ever, in the party.
The news spread rapidly
through the town and in a hal
hour more than 200 people had as
sembled on Delaware Avenue
where the searchlights had beer
placed. Many also from the sur
rounding country hurried in to SCI
what was happening. The Engi
neer were the guests of the New
ark Inn and Restaurant over night

Defines Essentials
Of Good County
Government
Chester c. Maxey Tells Of Survey Finding
Calls this Subdivision "Ugly Duck
ling" Of Administrative Scheme

County Administration for
Service" was the title of the ad-
dress delivered yesterday after
noon by Chester C. Maxey, the
second of series covering the
Delaware State Survey.
Prefacing his remarks with the
question What is a County," he
proceeded to define that uncer-
tain term in the language of the
ordinary citizen and then defined
it himself briefly as "the neglected
part of state government" the
ugly duckling" of the administra-
tive system. In a comprehensive
outline, he defined the county from
the standpoint of history, law.
politics and service. By means of
diagrams, he traced the English
conception of the county and it's
function in the British scheme of
government to the new conception
evolved by British colon:sts in diff
ferent sections of the Eastern sea-
board. Different conditions in the
Northern, Southern and middle
sections developing different types
'of county government.
From the standpoint of law he
quoted authoritative legal opinion
stating that in contradistinction
from that of a city, to which a
charter is granted at the request
OF the people, county is a sub
division of the state with adminis-
trative functions superimposed by
the state for the purpose of ey-
pedltlng local government. This,
however, is not true in fact, be-
cause of political manipulation
which has made the county an i'm
portant unit of self government.
With regard to its political sig
nificance, the county is an i'm
portant unit in the political organ
ISM for the county committee is it's
foundation stone, the point of
closest contact with the individual
voter.
From the standpoint of service,
direct and indirect, the county
serves in many ways: in admins
terlng justice, enforcing the law
through the sheriff, maintaining
highways, caring for the poor and
unfortunate and recording legal
instruments. The indirect service
has to do largely with finance.
County Government Obsolete
and Archaic
In every state the county gov
ernment with its lack of central
lied control and lack of respons-
ible leadership is obsolete and out
of step with the progress of the
times. Every business under
stands thoroughly that there must
be some one responsible for it's
successful operation, some one to
whom the different departments
may look for guidance and to
whom they are responsible for the
success of their departments. In
a great industrial system any NAL
administration must be accounted
for by the general manager upon
whom the responsibility rests.
An utter lack of business system
is characteristic of all county gov
ernment. All departments are in
dependent Of one another and Off
clals responsible only to the peo-
pie who cannot give supervision,
and are not always sure two weeks
after election, who are holding
county Offices.
Instances of inefficiency, graft
and disregard of the law were
cited, but the speaker stated that
in making the Delaware State Sur
vey no attempt was made to seek
