BEFORE Death

in company with Boron on a
party. Gran had been living with
Boroff in a cottage near Darby creek.
on July 8 the two men and a
woman. attired in bathing suits left
the cottage in a canoe for Tinicum
Island. They had some liquor with
them and this they drank when they
reached the island.
According to the story related by
the prisoners. when the liquor was
exhausted. Boron started back to
Darby to replenish their supply,
leaving them on the island alone.
This, they say, is the last they saw
of him.
They both declare they remained
on the island until o'clock that
evening. when a man in boat came
along and took them to shore. They
believe that Boroff's boat overturned
and ne was accidentally drowned.
Tuesday. John A. Johnson. OF
Philadelphia, and L. Hanna. of Ches-
ter. Pa, appeared and the body was
exhumed, and they identified II as
that OF Boroff. a prosperous busi-
ness man Of EssingtOn. He was
80 years old Boron has a wife
living in Ohio. She has been COM
municated with and will come here
to claim the body.
District Attorney Taylor said he
had plenty Of evidence to warrant
him in holding the two prisoners.
One theory was advanced that the
two men, interested in the woman
had a quarrel over her and Boron
was either thrown or fell from the
boat and was drowned.
Some. however, are inclined to be.
lieve the prisoners are telling the
truth and that Boroff fell from hi.
boat when It overturned. His body
was nude. or nearly so, when found
and this appears to bear out the story
that all were in bathing suits wher
they left the cottage at Darby creek

CITY'S NEEDS
Up To MAYOR
and CABINET
toontinued from hrst pagel


were James McManus. chairman of
the finance committee Of City Coun-
Gil; Councilman John f. Henry,
City Solicitor Reuben Satterthwaite.
Jr.. p. J. Isaac, president Of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission; Joseph L.
Carpenter. Jr.. Of the Park Com
mission; George NRommel. OF the
School Board; DR.. c. NJ. Handy.
president of the Health Board; A. J..
johnson, president OF the Street and
Sewer Department, and James I.
Ford. president of the Water Board.
Mr.. McManus, as chairman of the
finance committee OF City Council,
asked that all departments and
boards of the city keep within their
budget OF expenses throughout the
ensuing fiscal year, and intimated
that Council would reject any plea
for appropriations over and above
those contained in the budget.
This drew from Mr.. Rommel the
statement that such an admonition
sounded all very we'll but that it
was going to be a difficult matter
for the Board of Education to keep
within its budget when Council had
slashed S195.OO0 from the school
estimates The School Board. he
pointed out had asked for S395,00O
after pairing down all expenses to
the bone. Then Council had grant
ed only 100000 This is $4S6. $50
under the amount allotted for schools
| last year. but the board is to get a
share of money from the State school
fund.
Mr.. Rommel directed the attention
of the advisory board to the request
of the Board of Harbor Commission
ers for $500, 900 at this time of f.
nancial stringency to begin work upon
the marine terminal. with the ex-
pectation that at least another $780,
900. if not more, will be NECESSARY
to meet the cost of the project be-
fore it is completed Bids for the
terminal range are approximately
from $1,000. 900 to $1.S00.O0O.
Several other members Of the
"cabinet" took up the cudgels in de-
fense of the city's school children,
and it was remarked afterwards that
no one ueleHueu the ndFpoT project
as being more necessary to the citys
welfare than proper educational IA
cilities for its $4,000 and more pub
lie school pupils. No one was pres
ent to represent the Harbor Com
mission.
The discussion was general
throughout and no conclusions con-
cerning the harbor were reached.
There will be further discussion con-
cerning it at a meeting of the ad-
visory board, which probably will
be called by Mayor Harvey next
week when Willard A. Speakman,
president or some other representa-
tive of the Harbor Commission is
expected to be present.
In addition to discussing provi-
sion for the school children, the ad-
visory board also considered the
