Tossing on his couch in the inner
court, Daniel did not realize that
darkness had come upon him. He
rose unsteadily and reached for his
staff, but his foot caught in the drap-
cries of the couch and he fell to the
ground. He threw out his hand to

erings of his bed. His fingers, which
were slowly becoming his eyes, traced
it's outlines curiously; he frowned

heavy seal. Thrusting it into his
girdle and finding his staff at last, he
made his painful way into the outer

paying "bets" in order to get plaster
ing work done in a stipulated time
and other disclosures concerning the
rule exerted over the plasterers'
union by it's executive committee were
brought out by Mr.. Samuel Inter
myer before the Lockwood Housing
Committee.
The most glaring instance, as Mr..
Untermyer termed it, of the mis-
carriage of justice in the organization

officials who said that number of
Germans, Italians and Jews had been
fined for working on St. Patrick's

the details knew Mr.. Ford could not
always have his way. He spent the
funds allotted to this district as ex-
pediently as possible and even fought
for more funds, but under the appor-
tionment system and there were ten
other districts in Kent County clamor-
ing for road funds, the same as Duck
| Creek Hundred, he was obliged to do
the best he could with the limited
funds at his command. Mr.. Ford is a
booster for good roads but roads can
not be built without money, and here
was where Mr.. Ford was handicapped
in carrying out his own wishes an(

the town will receive 100000 from

for enlarging and otherwise bettering
the public school buildings and their
surroundings. The conditions are
similar to those which have lately
been accepted by Lewes, Laurel and
Newark. While the people would be
voting for a bond issue of $65,00O,
they would really receive $165, 900, and
they would be taxed only on S65,O00.
No such proposition as this has ever
been put up to communities, within
