bridge is designed to support two
loaded Il ton trucks running abreast
without damage to the structure. The
bridge section will rest upon bed
of solid rock, and it will be so built
that if it is decided later to build a
trolley line between here and Tampa
additional piles can be Q1aced along
side for the construction of an adj
joining trestle over which the tracks
can be laid Mr.. Candy said that
tracks would never be placed on the
bridge proper.
The bridge will cut the distance be-
tween st. Petersburg and Tampa to
"a miles and will connect with main
highways leading to and from the
northern gates. Present routes to
Tampa consume two or three hours
while over the new route the dis
lance can be negotiated in between 40
and so minutes.

DOWN TO g5 DEGREES ABOVE

The blizzard-like conditions of tbe
weather which prevailed in this part
OF Delaware for two days this week
caused the thermometer in Milford IN
drop from SO degrees down to rs de-
grees in very few hours. Ice and hail
covered the trees and the earth for
several hours, and the ground was
frozen hard enough to bear the weight
OF animals such as horses and cattle.
Ihese conditions make it more than
probable, that the pears, peaches.
cherries, plums and even strawber-
rles, will certainly not produce any
considerable crop. The apples were
opening into full bloom, but the opin-
ION prevails, that there is a chance
that some of these blooms may have
escaped. Rose bushes and shrubberv
are black from the freeze in manv
places, while the field peas planted
for the canneries, in several places
have the tops blackened-these NAV

lied in accordance with the budget
system provided in the school bill

BOARD WILL PROSECUTE
LEGAL ACTION NECESSARY TO COMPEL
SOME PERSONS RETURN BLANKS.

After sending second notices ana
by other means urging the taxables
OF Kent county to return their ques-
tionaires blanks, the Board of Assess
ment is forced to proceed with legal
action in 6a to have some persons
return these blanks.
This course of action is very dis
tasteful to the members of the Board.
but they have no other alternative as
certain persons still refuse to return
their QUESTIONABLE although the Board
has sent them a notice and published
requests through the various news
papers.
AS far as the Board can check up
only small percentage of the tax
ables in Kent county have complied
with the law. The percentage that
have not made their returns include
men in almost every walk of life and
in some instances some of the most
highly respected citizens in their
community.
The Board has put its affairs in ex-
cellent shap, but would be further ad-
vanced if it would not have been held
back by these delinquents.
Under the Act creating the Board
of Assessment, provision is made for
taking legal action against any per-
son or persons who persist in refus-
ing to fill out a QUESTIONABLE provided |
by the said Board.
The Board in some instances has |
been subject to criticism because two
rmOre questionaires have been mail

planned by the Board as being due to
