Hilary. "But l suppose something can

INTER CHURCH CONFERENCE.
To Be Held at Dover for This State on
March TO-

On March 10, Delaware will have a
chance To duplicate the outpouring Of
enthusiasm and spirituality which took
place at Harrisburg, Pa, February 1920,
when the pastors Of Pennsylvania met to-
gether under the auspices Of the Inter
church World Movement for conference
regarding the future Of the church in that
State.
Between February Is and March ~,
similar conferences will be held in every
State i'm the union. All are based on the
World Survey conference Of the Inter
church World Movement. which early in
the year at Atlantic City brought to-
gcther nearly 1000 ministers and laymen
to discuss the world survey being made by
the Movement and the needs Of the world
in the light Of that survey.
Some Of the speakers who are expected
to be at Dover, to meet the personnel Of
the clergy of Delaware, are Rev. Robert
Bagnell pastor Of Grace Methodist
Church, Harrisburg, Pa; Rev. Il, H.
Helms, pastor Of Calvary NJ. T.. Church
Philadelphia. Ia. DIR. John ~ Benson
secretary, Department Of Education of the
Methodist Church, and others Of the
Methodist Centenary staff.
Leaders Of the irferchurch World
Movement are hoping that Delaware will
turn out nearly 100 per cent Of it's minis
tors. In order 10 accomplish this the Inter
church World Movement will pay all fares

PE0PLET0 VOTE
ON MANY ISSUES
Commissioners Agree to Pul
Public Ownership Of Street

The city, commissioners have voted
to submit the proposition of the Fed
Grated Trades assembly for the city
ownership Of the street railway sys-
tenn to the people at the same time
the ordinance for the six-cent fare is
to be voted on. This was decided at

The ordinance provides for the is
suance of $3,500,000 worth of bonds
for the purpose Of acquiring by pur-
chase or condemnation the property
in this city pf the Duluth Street Rail-
way company. It is believed that this
sum will be. adequate.
The people will also have an op-
portunity tosvote for the issuance OF
bonds in the amount Of $4,000 for
municipal markets. The daylight
saving ordinance will also be voted
on.
Considerable interest will be shown
in the proposed charter amendment
to increase the tax levy from Is to @16
mills; and s@also on the proposed
amendment to change the election
from April to November. The latter
is proposed by an initiative petition.
1T is expected that the greatest in
terest will ;fbe taken in the proposed
ordinance to amend the franchise of
the Duluth Street Railway to provide
