EFFORT TO BOOST ROADS FAIL

New Business ard They Adjourn

New Business ard They Adjourn
The Delaware Legislature which
met Monday to consider the school ap-
preparation could not be induced to let
down the bars to give more aid to road
building so much needed. The House
was willing but the Senate refused to
consider any business other than the
school budget. By vote of 20 to IL,
the House gave Representative Otwell
permission to introduce two bills, one
appropriating 100000 annually for 40
years to provide State bond issue for
the construction of lateral roads in the
several counties and the other impos-
ing a tax of one cent per gallon on all
gasoline sold in Delaware after JAM
uary 1, 1922, the proceeds therefrom
to assist in bond redemption. The
House passed the latter by vote of
10 to 13. Senator Short frequently
asked for Senate concurrence, but
that body refused to act on the bills.

SMYRNA SCHOOL BOARD ACTIVE

Is EndeavOring to Get Matters in
Shape to Issue Bonds for New School
The Smyrna Board of Education is
holding frequent meetings, getting
matters in shape to issue bonds in ac-
cordance with the recent referendum
vote to borrow $65,O00 for new high
school building for Smyrna or rather
a remodeled building of up-to-date re-
quirements. AS the time limit for
taking advantage of P.iS. duPont's
gift of 100000 thru the Delaware
School Auxiliary ends July 1, the
Smyrna Board of Education is taking
steps to secure its position in regard
to this matter. Claymont which took
a referendum vote to borrow $250,000
the same day as Smyrna, will open
bids May 31st and issue their bonds to
bear $50 interest.

NORTHERN LIGHTS SEEN HERE
Number of Citizens View the Sky
With Its Streaks and Shadows

The Aurora Borealis or northern
lights which the daily papers had so
much to say about, was witnessed by
many in Smyrna Saturday night. The
fieeting cloud mists, waving and some
highly colored and others spreading
out in fan shape figures, made an odd
and peculiar sight. The brilliancy of
the Northern Lights was particularly
noticeable around ten and eleven
o'clock in the northern sky. The phe-
nomina effected our lights, causing
them to go up and down but no dam
age. In Philadelphia, New York and
other places, telegraph and telephone
wires in some instances were thrown
out of commission. Some say the
peculiar electrical condition was caus-
ed by sun spots. Any way it was in
some respects a wierd sky effect.
