Dry Officers Return From
Inspection Trip of Lower

LITTLE EVIDENCE
OF BOOTLEGGING

Robert B. Elliott, Prohibition Di-
rector for Delaware; Israel Howard,
chief enforcement agent, and several
members Of his staff, have returned
from an inspection of Sussex county,
and were at the Federal Prohibition
Office, Engineer Building. Sixth and
King streets. today.
From what they had seen, they
said, there was considerably more
talk than actual bootlegging in Sus-
sex. After a careful search, Direc-
tor Elliott. who was raised on a Sus-
sex farm, asserted that the rumors
that there were many stills on farms
in that county were not correct. The
officers did find, however, that many
citizens in the county were making
their own beer and wine for home
consumption.
Reports from Georgetown that he
had received many complaints from
women and from some preachers, Di-
rector Elliott branded as false. He
has had some complaints, he said
but not enough to get excited over.

WAIT ON STATEMENT
OF HEALTH BOARD

City Council received a communi-
cation from the Central Labor Union
last night. inauiring as to the cost Of
operating the incinerating plant, the
total costs Of building and equipment
and a comparison with the costs Of
garbage disposal of last year. Fol-
lowing the reading of the letter
Council moved that the clerk be in
structed to furnish the desired in
formation as to the cost Of building,
etc, and that the information as to
what the present plant hV. done
could be furnished in a week or two
Council has not received a ststement
showing what the plant has done
from the Board OF Health.
Councilman McNabb OF posed this,
stating that he thought It better &c
hold the reply until Council had the
desired information. Mr. McManus
withdrew his motion and then NOV
ed that the sending Of a reply be
postponed until such time as Council
deems it proper to give such inform
alton.
The communication, ordered at a
meeting OF the Central Labor Union
last Tuesday night, was as follows:
AT a meeting Of the Central La
Dor Union on Tuesday evening last
the secretary was directed to In
aulre OF your honorable body wheth-
er or not the new garbage inciner-
ator is considered a success by Coun-
ell and IL your action in paying the
bill for the construction of the same
is to be considered as a good disposi-
tion OF the taxpayers money.
Information to the effect that the
contract for the erection Of said
plant was OF a very vague nature, II
not being stated therein specifically
what kind of garbage was to be con-
sumed. has been spread broadcast
We believe this TO be laxity oi
duty on the part OF those chosen by
the citizens to negotiate for then
and a waste OF finances in these try
ing times to have paid the sum o
S45, 900 for something that seems al
vague as the contract for its erec
ton. Under the new system o
garbage disposal and collection
many hardships will be passed owe
to the citizens instead OF the relic
sought for in the erection Of a new
plant.
"The Central Labor Union re
quests your honorable body to fur

cost is at hand OF the operation {
