POLICE NEWS

In the court of Alderman Hendrix
son, in South Milford, the following
cases were disposed of this week:
Hiram Van for disorderly conduct
at the colored church last Sunday, was
fined $40 and costs, which he paid.
For exceeding the speed limit on
Walnut street on Monday last while
driving an automobile, which narrow
ly escaped hitting two ladies, Benja-
min Johnson was fined $40 and costs,
which was paiG.
There are many automobiles carry
ing only one light at night in front,
and frequently none in the rear, which
should be compelled to observe the
laws. In addition there is the law
which compels all vehicles to carry
lights at night-this means carriages,
wagons and any vehicle which travels
the public highways, which should be
enforced. This law may be found in
the pamphlet laws of the last legisla-
ture, Chapter 229, Page 612, under
title of Lights on Vehicles"
The parking Of teams as well as ma
chimes on the streets is another mat
ter which the police can give atten-
tion to. Edward c. Morris is the po-
liceman especially charged with this
work, although the other policemen
are supposed to give this their atten-
ton

CHILDREN WILL BE EXEMPT
FROM SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

At a meeting of the State Board of
Education held at Dover last Friday,
at which superintendent Holloway of
Kent and Hardesty of Sussex county
were present, the matter of school at
tendance was brought to the attention
of the members of the State Board.
In view of the scarcity of labor in the
counties, and the lack of facilities in
the way of school building and equip
ment, it was the opinion of the mem
bers of the Board that provision should
be made for meeting these conditions
in as practical and sympathetic a man
ner as possible. The following reso-
luton covering the situation was unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That the rules and regu-
lations of the State Board of Educa-
ton adopted September 3 in regard
to school attendance be amended to
provide that absence of pupils prior
to November 1st, 1913, be permitted
on written statement of parents or
guardians that absence is necessary
for the purpose of agricultural pur-
suits and other necessary work. On
making application parents or guard
ians are requested to state the number
of days absence is asked.
This provides a means whereby par
ents who desire, or who are compelled,
to have their children help save the
crops, can accomplish this in a very
simple manner: simply making formal
request for the time necessary Tor this
work.

AN EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO HAVE
The WIDTH SIXTEEN FEET IN The
FUTURE ON ALL ROADS.

Contractors on the Ellendale-A Milford
concrete road, which is a continuation
of the dupont Boulevard, have finish
ed laying concrete and work is now
under way grading the shoulders.
Within a few days the stretch is ex-
pected to be opened TO the public,
which will give the people Of lower

roadway from Selbyville to Milford, a
distance OF approximately thirty-seven
miles.
The stretch is considered by all Of
the leading highway men in the coun-
try, who have been here from different
sections to view il. to be one of the
best in the United States Huch praise
has been given the men who have had
charge OF the work by the Bureau Of
Public Roads at Washington.
In the western part of Sussex cOun-
~ active operations are under way on
a siXteen-foOt concrete road, and all
ready it has been finished from Del

miles, and from Seaford to Mearn's
Mill, about two and a half milesA This
road is looked upon as the last word
in concrete road construction in the
East. all OF the latest discoveries hav-
ing been applied in the construction.
According to a decision reached by
State Highway officials, in the future
no aid will be given on any county
project when the width of the road

BUILD ROAD In MARYLAND
DU POINT OFFERS TO CONSTRUCT LINK
T0CONNECT WITH HIS BOULEVARD.

T. Coleman dupont, the Baltimore
American said last week, has offered
to build free of charge a link of road
about S1s miles long to connect the
Delaware Boulevard, which he is
building, with the maryland good
roads system north Of Berlin.
He is seeking rights of way, 200 feet
wide, to correspond with the width
of the Delaware road. The PROPOSE
ton will be taken up with the Mary
land Roads Commission as soon as the
rights Of way shall have been secured.
For the construction Of this link the
Maryland legislature appropriated
$4,000. Because of the high price of
labor and materials this fund was ex-
hausted before the gap was reached.
General dupont now comes for
ward" the American says, with the
offer to complete the task undertaken
by the State. With the completion of
this link and of the Delaware BOule-
ward a new road to Wilmington and
Philadelphia will be open to residents
Of Worcester county. Since the close
of the war General DUPONT has renew
ed his efforts to complete the magnifi-
cent highway planned by him from the
Maryland line to Wilmington. \In this
improvement he was violently COM
bated by residents along the proposed
highway. In their opposition they re-
sorted to the courts to thwart General
DUPONT, who was awarded favorable
decisions, the Supreme Court of the
United States coming to his aid To
overcome obstacles the Delaware Leg
islature made provision for the con-
struction of good roads under its own
provision. Through the States agency
General DUPONT is carrying out his
nrOiect"

BENJAMIN F. B. WOODALL DEAD

At five o'clock on Tuesday after
noon, September %, 1919 Benjamin
+. b. Woodall died at his home at
Shawnee, two miles southwest from
Milford from heart trouble. He was
born August is, 1854, and was in the
Goth year of his age. The funeral will
this afternoon and interment be made
in Odd Fellows cemetery.
Mr. WOodall was one of the best
known and most successful fruit and
truck farmers in Delaware. and while
his farm where he resided was not
large as farms go in this part of Del
aware, yet the money returns from
it far exceeded the results from farms
of treble the size, under management
of men who are considered successful
agriculturists. This was the result
of a great store of practical common
sense, coupled with industry and abil-
ity to market the product of orchard
and farm to the best advantage.
He was a member of the Peninsula
Horticultural Society, of the State,
county and local Grange, and an active
worker in the local meetings held un-
der the management of the State
Board of Agriculture for the benefit
of farmers of this peninsula. His
earnest recitals of his success and
how it was accomplished, always re-
ceived attentive hearings.
He was a very busy man at all
times. His own farm interests drew
hard upon his time, but he always
found time to work for the church and
the Sunday schools, and contributed
literally of his money as well as his
time to their advancement The poor
had a liberal friend in Mr.. WOodall
and his tender heart always led to
needed for the needy, regardless of
their condition.
An advocate Of high grade roads
and the best schools possible, he earn
estly worked for the advancement Of
both. In politics he was a Democrat,
but always a man fair in his opinions
and willing to listen to any good ar
gument, but deadly foe to moral law
breakers.
He was really the backbone of the
Baptist Church and Sunday school in
Milford, both as to earnest effort as
we'll as financial support. He was the
superintendent of the Sunday school
and a deacon in that church for thir-
ty-five years.
He was a patriotic man, and believed
in America for Americans. He was
one Of those who assisted in reorgan-
izing the National Guard of Delaware
in 1873, and always followed the mem
bers of his old company to their an
1ual training camps each year for
thirty years and more, with practical
supplies of ice cream and fruit
He was widely known in the Anti
Saloon League work which resulted in
the abolishment of the saloons in Del
aware.
He married in 1882 Miss Mary Bar
ber, who survives him. They never
had any children but they adopted
Miss Emma Woodall, sew
eral years ago, who is their legal heir. (
Captain John Woodall Of Milford |
and Charles Woodall of Marcus Hook |
are brothers.
Many from a distance will pay trib-
ute to his memory by being present |
at the funeral this afternoon.

Dear Mr.. Townsend:
It is with regret that 1 have to an

I want to thank you and all others
in Milford who were assisting me in
my efforts to give them the service.
Kindly thank your foreman for me
and tell him to announce about us
not being able to get the service, in
this weeks issue of the Chronicle.
Hoping at some future series may
be able to put it on at Milford, l beg
to remain,
Yours truly,
