LEND HEARTY SUPPORT
The FARMERS DONATE LITERALLY TO
CARLISLE FIRE COMPANY.

The farmers booth at the carnival
for the first three nights has shown a
greater profit than any other booth on
the ground, but the supply of chickens
and produce at the present time. is
almost exhausted.
Two hundred and twentS-one chick
ems that were promised by our farm
er friends to the Carlisle Fire Com
pany to date, have not been deliver
ed. The carnival closes tomorrow
night and those who have not already
brought in their contributions are re-
quested to do so not later than Sat
urday afternoon at five o'clock and
leave them at the carnival grounds.
Due to the large territory surround
ing Milford, to be canvassed, and the
shOrh time in which this work had 10
be done, it was impossible for the
committee to call on every farmer. To
those that were not solicited, the fire.
men urgently request support.
AS you already know, the firemen
make no charges for out of town calls
and any contribution that you might
make will assist greatly in the-pur-
chase of their equipment from which
we all derive benefit.

OWNERS SOF CARRIAGES
SHOULD CARRY LIGHTS
WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTS NO DAMAGE
CAN BE COLLECTED SHOULD YOUR
VEHICLE HAVE A COLLISION.
MANY ACCIDENTS RECENTLY
FOR The INFORMATION OF READERS
The STATE LAW ON THIS SUB
JECT Is GIVEN.

From time to time the attention of
the reader of The Milford Chronicle
has been called to the fact that I'M
less proper lamps are carried on all
vehicles after dark, the occupant or
owners of such vehicles cannot Sc
cure compensation for any damages
which might result from an accident.
Notwithstanding that the law has
been on the statutes of the State of
Delaware for the past several years,
it is not the general practice of the
citizens in the rural sections to carry
lamps.
While there is no penalty for fail
ure to carry lights, the law specifical-
ly states that damages cannot be col
lected on the vehicles demolished.
Last week two accidents were re-
ported on Thursday night, and in nei-
ther instance did the carriages carry
any lights. For that reason the own
ers are unable to bring legal action
against the drivers of the automobiles
which figured in the smashups.
That section of the law relating to
the question is found in Volume 80,
Laws Of 1919, page 612, Chapter 229.
1t follows:
"421O-A Section 49, Every We
hicle drawn by horses, mules or oxen
upon any of the public streets or
of this state shall, from one
half hour after sunset until one-half
hour before sunrise, show at least one
white light visible not less than two
hundred feet in both the direction in
which such vehicle is proceeding and
also in the opposite direction. If any
person shall drive or operate such a
1ehicle upon any public street or high |
way in this state, without so showing !
at least one white light, then in any
such case such person shall, in case /
1f an accident and suit brought by any |
such person, for damages against an /
lther, be deemed and taken to have |
)een guilty of contributOry negligence
)er set, and shall not recover in such
lction."
The law is plain. We again urge
he owners of all vehicles to protect
themselves by carrying proper lights.

BILLS WILL BE PAID

Yes, it is true that many of the old
bills which should have been paid by
the County Boards of Education be-
fore last July 1st are still in the hands
of the state Board of Education, and
awaiting payment, DR.. Holloway said,
when questioned on this subject re-
Gently. But why? There is a per-
fectly good reason, and the people to
whom the bills are due are not the
only ones who are thinking of this
long delay" he added "The State
Board of Education is also consider
ing the matter, and it might be we'll
to add here, that a resolution was
passed at the last meeting of the
Board, requiring that a statement on
this subject be, made publicY
This is the reason the bills are still
unpaid. The Legislature, at it's last
session, provided that the State Board
of Education take over the business
of the County Boards, and assume all
Indebtedness of the lat
ter However, the Legislature did not,
at the same time, provide any funds
for this purpose. Therefore, the State
Board cannot draw on any of the
school funds allotted this year to
pay these old bills, and it must de- |
pend solely upon the collection of
Oack taxes still unpaid for the last |
school year. AS we know the last
portion of the taxes is always the
hardest to collect, and the slowest to
Jet. Therefore, some of these bills are
till on file, but they will be paid off
ust as speedily as funds are avail

SEEK MORE HIGHWAY
POLICE IN DELAWARE
LACK OF MONEY CAUSES The BOARD
OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS TO
DEPEND ON VOLUNTEERS.
WANT FORT THOROUCHFARE
The HIGHWAY POLICE FORCE CONSISTS
OFONLY FOUR OFFICERS AND THEY
ARE DOING SPLENDID WORK.

increasing the paid police force for
the protection of highway travellers
from speed tjends was one of the i'm
port questions that came before the
members OF the Board of Highway
Commissioners at a meeting at Dover
on Wednesday.
With the completion of the du Pont
boulevard running the length of the
state, and the fact that motorists are
being attracted to the highway more,
because of its being practically COM
pleted, has caused those who are
greedy to break speed laws to multi
ply throughout Delaware.
Reports from down state indicate
that, many serious accidents have
been narrowly averted and some have
occurred, but few with fatal results.
The citizens who obey laws have been
aroused by the wilful violations of
others, and for some time have been
demanding better protection for them
selves and families.
The state police force guarding
highways consists of four men. One
is detailed on the Philadelphia turn
pike, another on the Kennett turnpike,
the two great arteries of travel en-
tering Wilmington, and the remaining
two are divided over a stretch of ter
ritOry embracing 100 miles. In addi-
tiOn, the Highway Commission has a
citizens volunteer police force of 20.
These are appointed for a period of
three months, serve without pay, but
are given all the authority granted
regular paid highway police.
Reports made to the Highway Com
missioners were that the volunteers
have been doing splendid work. They
have made more arrests of speed viO-
ators and have warned many others.
Because these volunteers are in citi-
zen clothing, does not give the speed
ar any inkling that in whizzing by
nan walking on the highway, he may
De passing a policeman.
1t is likely that an additional paid
policeman may be named and that
)ther volunteer policemen will be
sought.
Josiah Marvel, member of the High
way Commission, said that the COM
mission aimed to protect the people
n every way from speeders, but were
handicapped because of lack of funds.
If we decide to name an additional
aid policeman, it will be the limit of
that we can do. We shall have to de-
end upon volunteers after that" he
aid
