Eers of the board both of the defeat
of the bond issue and at the size of
the vote cast against it. Defeat of the
loan has left the board face to face
with a serious problem as to how to
provide adequate accommodations for
children of the county. Many Of the
school buildings already are over
crowded, while the buildings them
selves are in need of repairs and re-
modelling. Without funds, however,
the boards hands are tied. An anal

features. The colored schools which
have reported show overwhelming ma
jorities in favor of the bond issue
while in the colored school district at

is that the districts which would have

Citizens of Sussex Are Scared
One highway robbery and two other
attempted hold ups were reported at
Seaford Sunday night, and it appears
that the hold-up gang, who have been
terrorizing motorists in the eastern
section of Sussex county, have trans
ferred their scene of action to the
western section of the county. One
hold-up and robbery was reported
when ]. Edwin Dutton, Jr., while on

was held up on the Seaford- Bridge
vile State Highway and robbed of
SIG. Carter Owens, while on his way
home, saw car across the road in his
path and thinking he was going to be
held up, shot his car around the high
waymen at high speed. The high
waymen jumped in their car and gave
chase, firing at the fitting car ahead,
but Owens had too much speed and es-
capped. George w. Marine, of Blades,
while returning from the oyster beds
near Bowers Beach, had an exper-
ence with highwayman who jumped
on the tail end of his motor truck.
The truck was loaded Wit hoysters and
Marine was running slow over the
rough roads. He demanded that the
stranger get off, but he kept coming
forward, whereupon Marine drew his
revolver and fired. The man rolled off
the truck and Marine thinks the bull
let struck him. Owing to so many
hold-ups Marine did not stop to ascer-
tain whether the ball struck the
stranger or not.

In the furtherance of his fight to

Frank Alice, Jr., introduced a number
of the repealers in the Senate recent
ly. If the measures are adopted they
will cut $4,000 from the appropria-
tions of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board in addition to slicing other ap-
preparations and cutting off defunct
commissions. Senator Alice, in pre-
senting the measures announced that
it was his intention to introduce num-
erous repeal laws aimed at the 100 or
more commissions and board function
ing under State laws that have be-
come practically defunct but still re-
ceive funds through the state treasur-
Ell. The Dover Senator said that many
people mold the impression that the
only State money spent is such as is
appropriated by the Legislature. "This
impression is entirely wrong" he said
There are laws on the statute books
providing for continuing appropria-
tions, much of this money going to
commissions that are no longer use

introduce three, four, possibly as many

Of these commissions should be wipec
out or all funds cut off, but intend tt

introduced by Senator Alice would re
peal an annual appropriation of $50,
700 to be used for reimbursing owner

DELAwARE-JERsEY AUTO ROAD
Eill in New Jersey Legislature for
Highway from Cape May to Lewes


The Cape May county Chamber of
Commerce will support Assemblyman
A. C. Boswell's bill to establish mo-
tor or automobile route connection
with the State of Delaware from the
southernmost point in New Jersey,
whereby a direct route for tourists
coming to the New Jersey shore re-
sorts from the South Atlantic States
will be made, and save 200 miles in
reaching south Jersey by way of Will
mington or Philadelphia. The cham
ber has passed a resolution heartily
approving of the bill, which provides
for ferry connection with the DUPONT
highway in Delaware possibly at
Lewes and point on the southern end
of Cape May county. The chamber
urges all citizens of southern New
Jersey to join in the efforts to secure
such ferry service by supporting and
approving the passage of Assembly
man Boswell's bill. This measure
places in the hands of the New Jer-
sey authority to construct and operate
such ferry as a part of the State high
way system of New Jersey. The
president of the county chamber of
commerce, Luther G. Ogden, of Cape
May city, is asked to appoint COM
mittee to go to Trenton and urge upon
the Senate and assembly members the
Importance of the enactment of this
bill into law.
