NO DEFICIT
AT DELAWARE
Report that University Owed
900 Not True

Following the issue of the financial
statement of the University of Della
ware last week, the report was pub
lished by some of the daily papers
that the institution was facing
deficit of a large amount OF money at
the present time. We are in receipt
of a letter from the University as
surfing us that such is not the case.
The University not only does not
have any deficit at the present tlme'
but will not have any. All expenses
are being kept strictly within the
budget approved and provided for by
the 1921 Legislature. No money is
being spent that has not already been
appropriated.
During the years 1919 and 1920
the period of highest war prices, the
institution faced a deficit OF S9l,4'o
But this was entirely taken care o.
bv the legislature at its regular ses
sion last March, and the University
fsc.l wear was closed on June ~
1921 without any deficit whatever
The prospects for the present imam
cial wear are just as bright.

JOHN w. CHAPMAN
CALLED BY DEATH
Retired Local Merchant Dies
from Penumonia at Sisters
Home in Charlestown.

The death of John w. Chapman,
aged 65 years, at the home of his
sister in Charlestown, Md, on the
evening of December 2, caused
circle of grief among his many friends
in Newark, of which place he was
former business man and where he
was building new home. Pneumonia
was the cause of death, and he was
stricken while on a visit here to look
after the work on his new bungalow
on Welsh Lane. 1t was about ten
days before his death that Mr.. Chap
man came here and was in the Penn
sylvania Railroad station ready to
take a train back to his sisters when
he was stricken. DR.. Blake was called
and removed Mr.. Chapman to his
sisters, Mrs. Robert Gibson, home at
! CharlestOWn.
The deceased was in the dry goods
business here for many years and had
a large circle of friends. When Mr..
Chapman first came to Newark he
went into business just west of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on
Main Street and later bought the
John Lewis property further down
Main Street and after completely
overhauling this building had one of
the most up-to-date stores in town
About 5 years ago he retired. The
deceased moved to Newark from Ceci
County, Maryland. Prior to going
. into business here he was proprietor
of department store at Alexandria
Va.
Mr.. Chapman was member O
the Newark Masonic order and at
tended the Presbyterian Church here
i He is survived by his widow and tw
I sisters, Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Ell
y Scott.
4 Mr.. Chapman first became men
- ber of the Masonic order in Alexar
4 dria, Va, where he joined the lodg
= of which George Washington was 6
# one time a member. The decease
reached the thirty-third degree OF tn
order.
The funeral of Mr.. Chapman toe
place this afternoon at | o'clock fro
~ the Methodist Episcopal Church,
!. Cherry Hill, Md. Many persons fro
r Newark attended the services.

Newark to Have
New Fire House
E. Clifford Wilson Heads
Building Committee
$4,000 to Garry
on Work
EdificeWill Embody Latest Ideas

A long-fe need and hope will be full
filled when Newark gets its new fire
department headquarters. The first
definite step in this direction was taken
at meeting of the Aetna Hose, Hook
and Ladder Co., last Friday night, when
President Charles L. Medill appointed
special committee to look after the
erection of the proposed new building.
All the members of the fire company
have for long time looked forward to
the day when they would have head
quarters to house their apparatus in
keeping with the latter. One of the hard
est workers along this line has been f.
Clifford Wilson. and he was appointed
as chairman of the above committed
! together with Robert S. Gallaher, Pro
fessor George A. Koerber, Frank M. Lut
ton, Arthur L. Beals, Daniel Stoll ant
Charles P. Steel.
The new headquarters are to cost
about $25 900 and will be embodied will
all the latest improvements. The sit
will be on the lot at the corner of Della
ware avenue and Academy street. Thi
plot has been donated to the fremen b.
the Newark Academy trustees.
Present plans call for the start o
the new house to begin in the sprin
and although Chairman Wilson has no
vet called a meeting of his COMMITTEES
he is expected to do so in the next fe'
, days. After the preliminary work ha
been gone over the committee will b
ready to hire an architect to draw IL
= plans for the building.
= For years the present fire headqua1
tcrs have been sore to the eyes {
many local people and they have dor
all in their power to get the erection
:, a new one started and now their eIfor
: are bearing fruit. Newark has two
the finest fre-fghting engines in Il
= State, but the housing conditions ha'
not been kept up in accordance.

The recent SHOWS and bad weather
has been the cause of great deal Of
complaint of the sidewalks as they
now exist in Newark and at last
NIGHTS session of Town Council it
was decided to have the body's at
torney draw up an ordinance to es-
tablish grade to be used in the erec-
tion of sidewalks. Councilman Will
son brought the matter before the
meeting and said that some of the
sidewalks of the town were in a terri
bic condition as the result of a lack
Of grade to drain them in bad
weather. He pointed out that about
three years ago a local resident fell
on a sidewalk fracturing his hip and
that since that time has been unable
to get around. 1t is the hope of the
Council to prevent such accidents as
these that the ordinance is to be drawn
ND. 1t was decided to fix the grade at
about one inch to every six feet. The
ordinance will probably be ready fol
reading at the next meeting of the
Council.
Councilman Wilson also brought tt
the attention of his colleagues the
condition of the road from Lumbrool
to Roseville, stating that this was thu
only really bad spot now from New
ark to Wilmington and that it was il
such a condition that It made traffi
