ASKS FOR LARGE SUM.
$t,2oo, 5000 Needed to Finance the
Roads for Balance Of Year.

$f,20o, 000, 900 Needed to Finance the
Roads for Balance Of Year.
Washington, d. C.-To finance the
railroads for the balance of this year
and to pay the governments operat'
ing loss for sixteen months up to this
month, an appropriation Of s 1900, 00O,.
600 was asked of congress by Director
General Hines. More may be sought
later IL the government continues to
lose heavily.
The ZOO, 900, 900 is in addition to
the $500. 600, 900 appropriated by the
last congress, and includes the $780,
600. 900 which failed Of appropriation.
Out Of this appropriation railroads
will be paid the sums due them months
ago as standard compensation, and for
which they have accepted the railroad
administrators certificates Of indebt-
edness. On security Of these certif-
Gates they have borrowed from banks
and the war finance corporation to
meet their current corporate obliga-
tions.
Approximately $4S6, 900. 900 repre-
sents the governments loss in operat.
ing the railroads from January /. 1918.
when private control ended, to May 1.
This is the difference between the
sums for which the government is OBJ
ligated to pay the roads on contracts
and the net actual operating income
from operations.

London.-Missing for six days and
virtually given up for lost, Harry G.
Hawker and his navigator, Lieutenant
Commander Mackenzie Grieve, British
airmen, who essayed a flight across
the Atlantic ocean without protection
against disaster save what their frail
airplane afforded, are safe aboard a
British warship off the Orkneys.
They will reach the mainland and
proceed to London, where they will be
acclaimed as men returned to life.
Both men are In good health. Some
LOO miles out from Newfoundland
and 500 from the Irish coast Monday,
May 10, the aviators, making the best
OF an engine which was failing to
function properly, were forced tc
alight on the water. The little Danish
steamer Mary, bound from New Or
leans and Norfolk for Aarhuus, Den
mark, picked the wayfarers up and
continued her northward voyage.
WIewags News Of Rescue.
Lacking a wireless outfit, the cap
tain of the steamer was obliged to
withhold the good tidings OF the res
cue until he was opposite Butt OF
Lewis, where the information was sig
nailed by means Of flags that Hawker
and Grieve were aboard his ship.
Immediately word was flashed to the
British admiralty, which sent out de.
~stroyers and took the airmen off, and
later transferred them to the flagship
Revenge.
From this safe haven Hawker sent
a message saying his machine had
stopped. owing to the blocking of the
water circulation system.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
 WILL GET GARAGE
Board of Public Works Willing to
 MOVe- Other Items

The most active meeting of the board of public works held in some time took place last evening. Bus- ness of much importance was 5rans- acted. The first subject brought up for discussion was the communication which was sent in by the board of fire commissioners asking that the building on Elm street used as a garage by the board of public works be turned over for use as new fire alarm headquarters. This proposition was favored by Commissioner John Downes, who stated that the building can be given up when place is pro- vided for a garage for the board of public works. It was proposed by Commissioner John Moore that the building be turned over to the fire commissioners and that rent be paid somewhere else for the public works cars. City Engineer w. H. Hall re- ported that there are at the present time seven cars in the building. It was suggested by Chairman E. N. Humphrey, who presided, that the board of fire commissioners should be notified of the willingness of the public works board to give up the building and suggested that a vote be taken. It was voted that the five missioners be notified that the public works board will turn over the building when suitable garage room is provided for the public works cars.
 Complaint on Drainage.
 The attention of the board was next drawn to a letter which had been submitted by pr. William Stoc1well, of the health departm ent, calling the attention of the water commissioners to the collection of water between Black Rock avenue and South Burritt street. pr. StockWe1 reported m his letter that the water is a health men, ace and a drainage problem. This matter was turned over to the super intendent of health and the city engineer.
 Barnett Street Opening.
 The matter of opening up Barnet street sOutherly to Shuttle Meadow avenue was next brought up. The city engineer reported that as yet hs has no map of the needed improve ments. This matter was presented to

the common council and later re- ferred to the board of public works. A letter favoring this improvem ent was submitted by M. o. Baker. Fol- lowing a short discussion the matter was turned over to the city engineer, who will estimate the cost and have map drawn up of the desired inn provements.
 A petition calling for a sanitary sewer in Stanley street. south of Ellis street. was referred to the city en- gineer for cost estimate and maps of layout.
 Sewer Needed at Once.
 An examination and explanation of the blue prints showing the proposed layout of the extension of Myrtle street, where the Stanley Works is building homes, were given by the city engin ger. He stated that a sewer in this locality is needed immediately, while the street layout can be post poned, as it is not necessary as yet. The layout, as shown on the map sub mitted, was accepted by vote and it will be recommended to the common council that a sewer be constructed when the necessary waivers are signed. The cost estimated by the city engineer is $4,300.
 Must Pay Costs.
 The petition of A. MOncini asking for permission to connect a new fac tory at 76 Franklin street with the water main in the street was a much discussed matter. The city engineer stated that he was opposed to this proposition unless the petitioner agrees to stand the expense of put ting the street in good condition after the work is completed The board voted that permission be granted 10 the petitioner with this understand ing.
 Wants Drinking Fountain The petition calling for a drinking fountain at Franklin Square park was the next matter to come up, Council man Johnson being the petitioner. It will be remembered that about a year ago this matter was brought up, but nothing was done, as the board was awaiting the completion of the Elihu ! Burritt Memorial monument The matter was referred to the city en- 1 glneer, who will shortly secure in 1 formation concerning water fountains. Other Matters Discussed.

The Kent County Court resumed its

the unlawful sale of malt liquor and
one for having in his possession more
than one quart of liquor, pleaded

imposed fine of $50 in each case and
the costs of prosecution, amounting
in all, to nearly $3.50. Michael Beck

the larceny of a wax doll, purchased
by former State Detective Oscar M.
Thomas, of Georgetown, just before
Christmas last year, for his little girl,
were placed on trial, both having en-
tered pleas of not guilty. The jury
returned verdict of guilty, and they
were sentenced to three months i'm
prisOnment. Sherman Thornton, who
plead guilty to the charge of larceny,
was sentenced to pay restitution
money of SIS and be imprisoned for a
term of two months. In the case of
the State VS.. Theodore Ross, negro

INSPECT D & C CANAL PROJECT
Widening Into Ship Canal Will Cost
Government About S12,5OO,OOO

Cost of reconstructing the Chesa-
peake and Delaware Canal in accord
ance with plans now formulated will
be about $12,5OO,OOO, according to
Colonel J. P. Jervey, United States
Engineer, with headquarters in Will
mington, who is in charge of the work.
Colonel Jervey has returned from an
inspection of the canal, making the
trip to Chesapeake City and return in
the "Gannett." Some of the right-Of-
way, Colonel Jervey says, will have to
be obtained by agreement, some by
condemnation proceedings. There are
no apparent difficulties of an engineer
ing nature, it is understood. Work of
construction will be complicated by
the necessity of maintaining traffic
through the canal while it is being i'm
proved and rebuilt. Acquisition of
the canal from the present owners
through condemnation proceedings has
been started, hearing to be held in
Wilmington during the March term of
Federal Court.
