administration Of municipal affairs, Il
prevent the success Of those who arc
striving to bring about the cfeat OF Tho
new charter movement which carries with
il commission form Of government, that
will be what its name eimplies--commission
for of government.
Leon alker, chairman of the Public
Affairs Committee Of the Rotary Club, and
chairman Of tho Citisens Charter Com
mittee, said another meeting of the Citi-
zens Committee uid be called in few
DAYS to further consider a more complete
draft of bill embracing the five-commis-
sioner plan which is ap roved according TO
their vote on the subject, practically
all civic organizations that are members
of the committee.

the need or a new city charter, and A. ID.
Warner. Jr., president Of tho Chamber Of
Commerce, announce that they are back
of the project and will aid legislation look
ing towards new charter and preventing
the efforts of those who are trying to
compass its defeat.
at is true" Mr.. Douglas said, that
there are others VINO NAV nave tnetF ears

know of influential Persons narrowminded
enough TO try to accomplish tho defeat of
the efforts of the committee, but ! am in
hearty accord with those members who
have expressed their intention of exerting
their influence 10 secure proper recognition
from the legislators.
Colonel George W. Sparks, chairman of

important" said business man today
who ls interested in the new charter. Il
read where p. Warren Green is willing to
let the people vote for one man for COM
missioner, and give that man all the
power 10 Eme the other commissioners.
But he does not want the people TO vote on
FIVE commissioner who would under GER
tain forms of commission government have
charge of all the work Why he should be
willing 10 let the people vote for one man
and not for five, seems - me TO be signit

credit To the Commonwealth.
In speaking of the press, Mr. lsaaos

GEORGETOWN AND
NEWARK MAY LOSE
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
DR.. Layton is Fighting Hard
for Them, But House Chairman
Good is Opposed.
SENATOR WoLcoTT TO AID

Special Dispatch From Every Evenings
Washington Correspondent
Washington. Jan. S.-ConTessman
Caleb I,avton has made several efforts, re-
Gently. to induce Chairman Good OF the
appropriations committee OF the House TO
include in the bill now in process OF prep
aration items of about 1000 reach lot
public buildings at Georgetown ana
Newark. Chairman Good, however, has
hhlntlv informed the Delaware Congress
man that the state of the nation finances
would not Justify such an expenditure.
DR.. Layton called MIR. Goods attention
TO the urgent need OF buildings IN which to
conduct the Federal business in the two
Delaware towns. and TO the further fact
that the committee on public buildings
and grounds more than two years ago
authorized this work, but without avnil.
This Congress- however, seems to be
bent on economy, even at the expense OF
efficiency. and will not spend cent which
the public interest docs not absolutely re-
ouire. Dr.. Layton told Mr.. Good that 1t
would be almost impossible much longer
to conduct the Federal business in the
buildings in Georgetown and Newark now
used for that purpose but his appeals seem
10 have had no effect upon the dogmatic
economist who is now at the head OF the
Appropriations Commute of the House:
''We are entitled 10 the buildings,
said DR.. layton "They were authorized
in due form, and while believe we should
exercise the most rigid economy consistcnt
with efficiency, the government should
take the initiative in building. People are
talking about the backward condition the
country is in with regard to both public
and private buildings. 1t seems TO me IT If
showing a penny wise and pound foolish
policy to DELAY by false economy the re-
vival of general building in the United
States"
OF course Delaware ia not the only State
that will suffer by the cheese-p pairing policy
Of the House Appropriation COMMITTEES.
Buildings that would cost about SIXTY
million dollars and give employment TO
many thousands of men have been au-
thorized bv the committee on public
grounds and buildings. None of these can
be constructed because the appropriations
committee refuses to make the funds avail
able
Senator Wolcott has been asked by
Congressman Layton TO assist him IN
obtaining the appropriation needed tor the
authorized Delaware buildings and an
effort will be made 70 include the items
when the bin reaches the floor. IL DIR.
Lsyton fails in the House, Senator VOL
colt will try To have the bill amended In
the Senate. The Senator believes with
DIR. Layton that the buildings are needed
and work on them should not be delayed.

ghost, Delaware tomatoes rise TO haunt
certain officials of the War Department.
The department, according to the figures
Of some Of the Gamers Of the Diamond
State, still owe good many thousand
dollars for the favorite vegetable of that
commonwealth
The claim WAS made more than year
ago that Maryland Gamers received is
cents a case more for their tomatoes
than WAS allowed the Delaware men for
a product that was in every way up
TO the standard Of the Maryland product
Repeated efforts have been made to OBJ
tain adjustment. A representative of
the Gamers called today on the head Of
the purchasing bureau of the War De-
partment telling again the same old
story
II is understood he was told 10 equip
himself with needed data and call again
II appears that the War Department
has never been satisfied with the figures
presented by the Delawa.r citizens and
II is contended that the whole question
is one Of bookkeeping.
