Death Trap Story Disputed

In a skit under the title "Some
Day" last week the Post referred to
the line of tracks at the Pennsylvania
Depot as Death Trap.
Exception to this has been made by
one of our prominent citizens, who
said that it was one of the best safety
guarded points in the country. He is
a man of considerable travel and we
thought fairly observant, but this
comment completely upsets that view.
First, the track laid next to the
station was intended as a 15-mile
track. 1t is used as a 60-mile track,
and for long time was only cinder
ballasted.
Second, freight trains are permit
ted to rush north just at the time
passenger trains are due. The writer
snatched woman from almost GER
tain death last week The 4.39 was due
in the block, and she hearing a train
went out to meet it only to be faced
with through freight. The Post has
no complaint except this, that the
system in practice, the track arrange
ment damned into the station is
dangerous. 1t has been the subject
of comment and criticism for years.
The gateman at the crossing is doing
his duty and no criticism is made of
him or the local officials Rather they
are to be commended. But the track
system is not in keeping with Penn
sylvania standards-at least that is
the opinion of 999-999 1000 per cent

Reunion at Pencader

The Fifth Annual Reunion Oh rem

mo automobiles from Philadelphia
wilmington and neighboring towns
arrived in time for the IL O'Clock
service. DR.. John T. Saris, OF Phlla-
delphia, preached an excellent ser
mon on Faith, Hope, Love-" Dr.
saris is a traveller and author and
has a national reputation as editor OF
the Board of Publications OF Sunday
School Work. His name is most
familiar to the Presbyterian public.
About 800 people filled the church
in the afternoon. The Rev. DIN NC
Kendree Jones, pastor of the Fourth
Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia
gave a stirring address on "Our
Bodies, the Temples of the Holy
Spirit"
Excellent music was given by the
members of the choir of West Presby-
terian Church of Wilmington. The
choir was led by Mr.. Harry w.
Frazer, formerly of Pencader Church.
Mrs. Ella Downing, of Wilmington,
sang "Just for Today"
The Rev. John McMurray, pastor
of Glasgow Church, presided at the
afternoon service, and in the name OF
the Pencader Cemetery Association
thanked the visiting ministers and

services. The benediction was pro-
nounced by the Rev. Mr.. Townley of

Wilmhngton's City Debt

The issuing of bonds for several needed
improvements in Wilmington, such as new
public library and paid fire department has
raised in some quarters the old cry This
horrible debt aoil be the ruin of us! Why
doesn't somebody stop all this reckless
spending! It is perhaps fortunate for the
wheels of progress that these aarmsts
sometimes wake up after the money is spent.
1t is the combination of the quiet reaction
aries in positions where they can black ad-
vance and the alarmists pouring out false
warnings to the people during the consider
alton of civic step, which makes advance
almost impossible.
Within wise limits, the bonding of
community, for even the least urgent of civic
improvements, is no more to be attacked as
a reprehensible debt, than the development
of private business on borrowed capital The
question which should be raised in regard to
bonds is about the provisions for paying
them off If permanent improvements are
to serve the public for many years it is good
public business to pro rate the payments
over number of years. But the payments
should begin at once. We should not throw
the burden of this years share on next years
taxpayers The way to go on having i'm
provements and still keep within the bonding
limit is to set aside an adequate amount of
money each year. to offset that years fair
proportion of the debt Those who profess
deep concern over Wilmington's debt might
investigate the sinking fund provisions made
by the city, and determine the amount of
debt that should properly be cancelled each
year Such information in the hands of the
public saves future trouble, particularly if
the financing of the community is put on
basis that enables the citizen to see what he
is paying for by the few cents of the tax rate
that must every year be definitely assigned
to the retirement of debt.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1921-06-29

We are not at all partial to any set of
plans or any financial cooperation. The issue,
to us, is decent housing and ordinary, health
provisions. The proposal of the School Aux
iliary and the acceptance by the people in
voting the bond issue seems, to us, good. A
vote Of the taxpayers shows it is the voice of
the ommunity. The question just now is the
sale of the bonds. But, say our business
men, money is tight, financial conditions do
not warrant the risk This may all be true.
Newspapers know nothing of finances. But
this we believe, that if Smyrna can do it,
Newark can. More than that if our citizens
Of finance and influence decide to do it, the
bonds will be sold
And men, in your rush for gain or pleas
ure, in your strain of obligation and service,
this IS worth while.
BONDS VS.. CHILDREN.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1921-06-29
Bonds Us. Children

Voted for the School bond issue and
then bought the bonds-that's the record and
honor of Smyrna. More than that the issue
was even oversubscribed. Certainly the
citiznes of that town are to be congratulated.
Because Newark is faced with similar re-
sponsibility a recital of facts many not be
amiss. Like Newark, Smyrna needs school
building-not so badly but additional room
was necessary. The School Auxiliary offered
100000 if the town would raise it's bonding
capacity of $4,000. The vote for the issue
was enthusiastic. Following this, the citi-
zens ad local banks proceeded to subscribe
for the issue. So Smyrna will proceed with
her schools.
The Newark School situation is critical
The old Academy used as High School is
worse than disgrace. 1t is actually danger
Gus. It would not measure up to ordinary
standards of light and sanitation. Worse
than that it would not even pass building
inspection. Yet Newark permits her chill
dren to attend.
These are serious charges yet they are
not contradcted. They can't be.
The reason the condition is allowed is
because the community neglects to learn for
themselves the true condition. They read
and hear criticism but pass it off as explosive
enthusiasm. But this neglect is criminal,
nevertheless. Parents are innicently ignor-
ant of the conditions surrounding their chill
dren when in School.

Change in Farm Areas and Values

The federal census figures for 1920
show record of 10,14O farms within the
borders of this State. The area included in
these farms is smaller by 364,355 acres than
the area credited to active farm cultivation
in 1910. The value of farm lands and build
ings has increased from $53, 155, 1888 in 1910
over $10,00O,OO0 in value on several hundred
thousand fewer acres of farm land is on the
credit side of agricultural development in
Delaware. It is very serious entry on the
wrong side that hundreds of thousands of
acres available for cultivation in the garden
spot of the East should be idle This is
fertile ground for the students of our agri-
cultural problems to till.
