building inspector is making an inspection
of the property.
The City 1'reasurer's report showed a
balance of $4OS S.334.6l.
Richard Mackenzie, executive sccre-
tary of the State Board of Charities, was
granted his request for hearing to
explain his plan for keeping a check on
appropriations made by the city to NUM-
cipal organizations such as hospitals.
he request brought protest from
Councilman Murray. He declared he did
not see any use of having the hearing. as
he said the City would be better off if
they dealt less with State bodies. He said
he was tired of this condition. and that
Wilmington would be better off if left
alone by the State bodies. After the plan
was explained, it was decided to hold the
hearing next Wednesday night.
The verbal tilt between Councilmen
Kane and Abberger took place when
Councilman Kane charged that Holmes
Jones, who holds options on some
property near Kirkwood Park. is using the
Central Labor Union as "A catspaw in an
effort to have the city make improvements
IN that section.
Councilman Abberger introduced a
resolution passed by the Central Labor
Union calling on Council and other public
bodies to take action toward cleaning
up the ward and making extensions to
klrkwood Park.
Holmes Jones is the author of that
resolution" declared Mr.. Kane. "He
is using the Central Labor Union as
eatspaw and you are carrying out his
designs"
Mr. Abherger denied this and the two
members engaged in verbal tits until
Councilman Forwood said the communica-
ton was addressed to him and had been
turned over TO Mr.. Abberger through
error The letter was referred to Mr..
Forwood without any action being taken.
The Central Labor Union presented a
letter protesting against the expenditure
of money ON the rebuilding of the old City
Hall, declaring that the money could he
used TO better advantage to relieve the
housing situation. The letter was referred
to the committee of the whole.

| MARYLAND ADVANCING
FARM PRODUCTS BILL
Second Reading for Measure Which
Provides for Transportation and
Marketing Of Goods.

On February IL there was intro
duced in the senate Of the state of
Maryland a bill to promote proper,
efficient and economical handling,
transporting. distribution and sale
Of agricultural products of the state
and to provide for the appointment
of director of farm products. This
bill has been favorably received. a
second reading having taken place
but a short while ago.
Maryland ranks high in the rural
motor express movement. In 1917, the
year the rural motor express first
came into prominence, there were
twenty-three such lines operating
within the state. These lines en-
ployed thirty-two trucks, which trav-
eled 1858 miles daily and hauled
more than $4,000 tons of farm prod
ucts in a year. MARYLAND also is
organizations. The famous Farmers
Cooperative Company of Hartford
county Is. as far as is known, the
first cooperative transport company
to have been founded in this country.
1t has been the model for the many
existing organizations of like char
acter.
Public officials have not been slow
necessity of the rural motor express.
The recently formed National Asso-
citation of State Marketing Officials
has adopted as part of it's trans
portation committees work the in
vestigation and promotion of the
rural express. Twenty states are
represented in this association.
New York state, through its di
vision of foods and markets of the
department of farms and markets,
is now conducting a survey to de-
termine where rural motor express
Smith, upon recommendation of his
reconstruction commission, has ap-
pointed highway transport COM
mittee to organize rural motor routes.
Many other states. through their
governors or other officials. have
sought to promote the movement by
declaring ship-by-truck days on hoii-
days or during state and county fairs.
Country Has 5000 Lines.
Motorized highway transportation
is growing with astonishing rapidity.
New York state alone has more than
400 motor express lines in operation.
1t is estimated that. for the whole
country. there are not less than 5000
such lines in operation. These lines
are of greatly varying size and wide
ly scattered. The American Motor
Freight Company, with headquarters
at Sioux Falls. S. D.. is incorporated
at 100000. A map Of it's route in
cludes eighty towns in Minnesota.

No Garage Problem.

The New York Sun says that in
Guatemala there is no private garage
problem. Motorists have eliminated
the private garage by making the
front hallway of the house, about
where you would expect the umbrella
stand and the hatrack to be, a COM
bination of front door, front yard and
garage.
The fact was revealed through a let
ter from a car importer in Central
America to an automobile manufac-
turer. in which he emphasizes that
TT is necessary to know the size
of the cars to find out whether they
could easily enter the hall"

similarly extended the number would
have been 12,450.
With regulations and some simple
but necessary precautions it should
be easy to reduce traffic accidents in
every city and town Of the country
far below what they are, and es-
pecially here in Washington, where
there Is, apparently. SO much extra
street space.
