LEWES VOTES $4,000
BOND TO GET 100000
The PEOPLE OF LEWES VOTED OVER
WHELMlNGLY In FAVOR OF CON-
SOLlDATING OLD BUILDINGS.
ONLY TWENTY-FIVE OPPOSED
The TOTAL BOLLOTS CAST SHOW THAT
ELEVEN TO ONE ARE IN FAVOR OF
EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS.

Residents in the special school dis
trlct IN Lewes voted overwhelmingly
last Thursday night to bond them
selves to the sum of $4,000 and to ac-
cept thereby, the offer of the Delaware
School Auxiliary of 100000. the to-
tai amount, S250,000. to be used for
the erection of central school build
/ ing.
The vote was more than eleven to
one IN favor of the bond issue. In
detail, the vote for the bond issue
totalled 1879 and the vote against
was Asa. The number of people who
voted in the affirmative was 24S and
those who voted in the negative num-
bered 25. The apparent discrepancy is
explained by recent law which al
lows a number of votes on the basis
of school taxes paid.
In view of the seemingly adverse
sentiment expressed on the bond is
sue a week ago, the size of the vote
for the issue was somewhat surpris-
ing.
Among those who had been appoint
ed to take charge of the voting were:
William Carter, Harry Maull and Sam /
uel Pierce, all appointed by the mem
bers of the local school board. The /
balloting was held in the main school /
building. Frank Jones, attorney for |
the school district. was present thru |
out the voting and count.
Lewes has at present three school 4
buildings for white children and one
for colored children. The three struc-
lures are much too small and are in
many other ways, inadequate. A single
building to house all the white pupils
with room enough to house the over
How and also to take care of the chill
dren who will demand an education in
the coming years was an absolute ne
cessity.
The desire of the residents of this
school district for a new school
was communicated to the
Delaware School Auxiliary. The aux
liary offered the school district $780,
100, providing the residents of the dis
rict bonded themselves to the amount
If $4,000, thus making the total nee
'ssary $3.50, 900.

HANDY MAY PRESIDE
OVER STATE SENATE
SEVEN SENATORS AT CONFERENCE IN
WILMINGTON AGREE ON HIM FOR
PRESIDENT PROTEIN.
SHORT DOES NOT SEEK PLACE
SHOULD THE REPUBLICANS CONTROL
THE HOUSE, ALEX. P. CORBIT WILL
LIKELY Be SPEAKER AGAIN.

Senator Wallace S. Handy of Mil
ford, representing the Fifth Senator
ial district of Kent county, is said
to have been agreed upon by a ma
jority of the Republican State Sena-
tors for president protein of the SEN
ate, at the coming session of the Leg
islature.
At conference of six of the Repub-
lican hold-over Senators and Senator
John NJ. Walker of Hockessin, re-
elected in November for the third
term in the Senate, in Wilmington
last Friday the matter of a president
protein of the Senate was discussed.
1t is said to have been the unanimous
sentiment of those attending the con-
ference that Senator Handy was the
logical man to preside over the next
session of the Senate. Senator /. d.
Short, of Sussex county, who was
president protein at the last session,
attended the conference. 1t is said
that Senator Short does not seek re-
. election but is favorable to Senator
Handy.
Those who attended the conference
were Senators John G. Highfield of
Brandywine hundred; John F. Rich
ards of Newark; James F. Alice, Jr.,
of Dover; Wallace S. Handy, of Mill
ford; 1. d. Short, of Milford, and j.
Carey Palmer. of Milton, all hold-over
Senators, and Senator John M. Walk
er, of Hockessin, reelected.
The next Senate will be composed /
of IL Republicans and 6 Democrats. 1
Senators James w. Robertson of Will
mington and Asa Bennett of Frank /
ford, hold-over Senators and Sena-
tors-elect William ]. Lutz of the First |
district, Wilmington, and Harry Pret-
lyman of the Fourth district of Sus-
sex county were not present at the
conference.
In case binding caucus is held to
name the president protein and other
officers of the Senate the seven Sen
ators who are said to have agreed on
Senator Handy for that Office would
control the caucus. Although it would
require nine votes, however, to elect
SenatorH andy, his friends feel sure
that there will be no trouble in get
ting the required votes to assure his
election.
Some Republicans are claiming that !
under the rotation plan it is Whining
toms time to get the president pro-
tenn. 1t is pointed out that Col. George
w. Sparks was the last Wilmington
Senator to hold the office and that f
was about IL years ago. Since then e
the Republicans who have held the S
office are the late Senator George w. v
Marshall and Senator John M. Bar n
lard of Kent county; Senator John t
W. Walker of rural New Castle and t
Senator I. D. Short of Sussex coun- fl
" "
There is considerable sentiment, it O
S said among Republican House C
for the reelection of Alex W
nder P. Corbit of Odessa as speaker g
# the House, should the Republican E
andidate for the House in the Sew v
