AN ANCIENT MUD HOLE

Our Man About Town chanced to
meet one of the residents on Anderson
street at the margin Of the little lake
that has long made the sidewalk at the
corner of that street and North Broad
nuisance to all dwellers on that street,
and to pedestrians generally.
"Only one course of bricks left now
been but two or three for many, many
years back" remarked the Resident,
pointing to the narrow line of bricks
that did duty for a whole pavement.
"But just look at the pavement so
feet or so further up-nothing but a
mass of broken rubbish for us to
stumble over! Our street amt as
fashionable as some, got no rich people
living on it or this mud hole, etc, would
have been fixed years ago, | guess. It's
what the Scripture says, Them as has
will get more, and them as hasn't any,
thing won't keep what they has
Won't you print what l tell you, in
The Transcript, maybe that will wake
somebody up"
:. Having stopped into that tiny mud
lake few times for an age or so back
we promised we would print the Resi-
dents remarks, leaving it to the City
Fathers to get move on themselves.

BOOSTING THE ELEVATOR

The committee recently appointed to
investigate the marketing of grain
produced in southern New Castle County
met last Friday night at Middletown.
}. D. Reynolds, chairman of the Town
send Farm Bureau community, presid .
ed. The plan under consideration is
the organization of a farmers CO.
operative grain marketing association,
with the thought of later building a
farmers CO. operative grain elevator.
There is, however, feeling among
several members of the committee that
the proper step is to go to work on
tentative plans for an elevator with the
idea of building this fall. The grain
growers will then receive an immediate
benefit thru the better grades received
and the labor saving facilities in hand
ling grain.
A committee consisting of J. D. Rey-
nolds and P. E. Pleasanton was appoint
ed to visit successful farmers CO.
operative grain elevators in Ohio and
make recommendations as to the proper
action to be taken this season.
The proposition will be but before the
Executive Committee of the New
Castle County Farm Bureau at its
monthly meeting to be held in Whining
ton next Saturday. The plan will
doubtless take definite form at that
time.

recently purchased by the Pierre S.
dupont School Fund for Colored

brought for the first time to the reali-
zation Of the usefulness Of a spacious

NAV Kill Fishing.

Oil pollution of the Delaware River
and Bav, which has vexed fishermen
and pleasure boat owners two or three
years, apparently is even worse this
season, according to reports. 1t threat
ems eventually to wipe out the shad-
fishing industry, as State and port Off
cials seem to be poweress to prevent
it. Oilburning steamships are respon-
sible for most of the pollution, it is
claimed.
An investigation has shown that the
crews of these vessels make practice
pumping out their oily bilge water after
they get into the Delaware Bay ard
River. 1t is believed that Federal ac-
ton will prevent what is causing a
serious loss to the fishing.

"And there appeared unto them

they were file1 with the Holy Ghost,
so that they were enabled to speak in

not with rushing wind or tongues Of
fire does the Holy Spirit descend upon

THE SCHOOL LAW
Legislature Adjourns Until Monday
Without Taking Vote
THE OUTLOOK IS VERY GLOOMY

Failing to pass school appropria-
ton bill after two days efforts, both
houses of the Legislature Tuesday
afternoon adopted Senate concurrent
resolution introduced by Senator Price
providing for a recess until noon on
next Monday, May 10th. The Legisla-
ture, assembled IN adjourned session at
Dover on Monday. Adoption of the
resolution followed a tumultuous scene
in the House, which was an aftermath
to the defeat of an appropriation bill
presented by Representative OtweI,
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee, which provided 81, $50, 900 for
each OF the ensuing two years. The
Otwell bill, which went down to defeat
by vote of IA ''yeas" to 18 mays"
was introduced as a substitute for a
measure presented earlier in the day
by Representative Clark, chairman of
the educational committee. Represen-
tative Clark introduced two bills in the
House providing appropriations for
the school budget for the next two
years. The bill for the school year
1922 carries a total appropriation of
81, 1886, OS9 and the one for the year
1922 1923 carries total of $2,419, ,639.
Few members entertain any real hope
that satisfactory bill can be framed
by next Monday. 1t is the general
feeling that the Palmer bill introduced
in the Senate will be rushed through to
final passage. With ill feeling and
general dissatisfaction growing hourly
it is not thought possible that
the session can be prolonged after
next Monday. Senator Palmer intro
duced in the Senate bill to repeal the
presentschoollaw and re-enacting the old
law of previous to 1919. There was
objection to the introduction of this
bill, but President Pro Tenn. Handy
ruled that it could be introduced by a
vote of a majority of the Senators.
The vote to introduce the bill was 9 to
