MUST HAVE MORE
MONEY FOR SCHOOL

Finding that they are unable to
conduct the school on the money
allotted by the State Department OF
Public Instruction, a meeting OF the
taxpayers of Marshallton and vicinity
has been called by the Board of
School Trustees OF that district to be
held in the school house at Mar
shallton at s o'clock tomorrow even
ing.
The trustees say they are allowed
only SIS a month for janitor service,
and there are three buildings to be
looked after and cleaned. One school
building is badly in need Of repairs,
and the condition OF the plaster in
one room is such that 1t Is liable to
fall on the heads OF the children.
Upon taking the matter up with
the State Department. the trustees
have been informed that no further
money, other than that already al
lotted. is available. As It is irnpos-
sible TO secure a janitor for SIS a
month, and also impossible to make
needed repairs with the amount al
lotted, a public meeting has been
called to give the taxpayers an op-
portunity to raise the money needed
to carry on the school.
II the Board OF Trustees fail 10
raise the money through the meet
ing. they threaten to resign, as they
feel they cannot take the RESPONSE
bility OF attempting to run the
school without janitor service, and
without the necessary repairs.

SEES CORNER TURNED

NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-Francis
S. Whitten, chairman OF the board
OF Columbia Grajhophone Co., in a
letter to Columbia dealers. calls at
tenion to rumors bearing the ear
marks OF organized propaganda re-
garding policies Of the company,
price reductions. etc. He belives
dealers will again reap profits at the
close OF 1921 and beginning OF 1922,
and holds no doubt that the future
OF the company is assured. The let
ter follows:
THE management desires at this
time, and once and for all, TO set
at rest any such rumors that may
have come to your attention
mo price reduction is contem-
plated, as present prices we're fixed
without consideration OF labor and
material costs, but with a view Of
offering at a time when low prices
are expected, the biggest possible
phonograph value. both for the
benefit of the buying public and
Columbia dealers. No new standard
types will be put out without giving
dealers ample notice In advance, and
in no case until after April. 1922.
The recent business slump has
been an unusually severe one, but
believe the corner has been turn
ed and that loyal and efficient Co.
lumbia dealers will in the closing
months Of 1921 and early in 1922
again reap the profits to which their
splendid efforts and hearty co-opera-
ton with the COLUMBIA Graphonphone
Co. entitle them.
with thirty-fve years OF Colum-
bia success and progress in phono-
graph development behind the COM
pany, the management is not at all
discouraged by the recent business
slump.
There is no doubt in the minds
OF the management that the con-
tinued future Of the Columbia Graph
ophone CO. is assured and that an
uninterrupted flow Of Grafonolas and

think that the injury to Joseph Ar

side the Eureka Restaurant at Sixth

lice has disclosed that the railing
surrounding the areaway is so high
that 1t is unlikely that the man could
have accidentally fallen over. His
condition is pronounced better at

lice will endeavor to secure further

Inspected an incinerating plant that
is burning a daily average of one
hundred tons OF garbage and re-
fuse, and are more firmly convinced
than ever that Wilmington's method
Of garbage disposal is all right, only
it does not go far enough. They
think another unit is needed, how
ever.
The plant is OF a different type
than that installed here by the Nye
Incinerating Company, or those in
spected at Trenton, N. j., Norfolk
or Baltimore. According to Dr.
Handy the plant disposes of garbage
and rubbish without any thought Of
drainage and the refuse matter is
destroyed without the burning of
coal.
Councilman Faulkner, chairman
Of the health committee. says no
report will be made by that COM
mittee tonight on the report of John
II. Gregory on the garbage situation
here.
AS to what the committee will
recommend has not yet been deter
mined, although Mr.. Faulkner says
it is likely to recommend the build
ing of an additional incinerating

that nothing has been suggested in
