NEW TABLETS IN STATE HOUSE
Names of Governors of Delaware From
1777 Down To the Present Time
Stamped On Bronze Tablets

Two massive bronze tablets were
placed in position in the corridor of
the State House Monday on the first
floor on either side of the main en-
trance, bearing the names Of all of the
Governors from 1777 to the present
time. While the names of the Cover
nOrs had previously appeared, painted
on panels on both the first and second
floors of the corridors in the State
House, be cause of the space being
about filled up it was deemed best to
have the names placed on bronze tap
lets. On the left side of the corridor
on entering the main door is a tablet
bearing the names of all the Cover
nors from 1777 to 1841, beginning
with John Mckinley and ending with
William B. Cooper 1841. In connec-
tiOn with this first tablet it shows
there were three Governors of the
State during the year 1777, namely
John Mckinley; Thomas Mexican (act-
ing) and George Read, the latter serv-
ing until 1778. In 1778, Caesar Rod
ney became Governor and served until
1882, when John Dickinson was select
ed Governor, he serving until 1888,
and then John Cook (acting) took
charge of the reins of State. From
1888 to 1856 Nicholas VanDyke was
chosen Governor From 1886 to 1889,
Thomas Collins was Governor; 1889,
Jheu Davis assumed charge as (act-
ing). From 1889 to 1896, Joshua
Clayton was Governor; 1896 to 1897,
Cunning Bedford was chief executive;
1897 to 1899 Daniel Rogers is listed
as (acting). From 1899 to 1901,
Richard Bassett was Governor. A
singular coincidence in all the above
names and down for several years af-
terwards, none of the Governors had
a middle name. The tablet on the
right side of the main entrance con-
tains the list of Governors from 1916
to the present day, including Cover
nor Denney.

SMYRNA TOWN COUNCIL MEETS
Decide To Mecadam Delaware Street
From Mt. Vernon Street to North

FROM MI. vernon street to North
Smyrna Town Council met in regu-
lar session Friday evening. Owing to
the absence of Secretary Porter, who
had the books, only an informal meet
ing was held. 1t was decided to me-
cadam the north end of Delaware
Street from Mt. Vernon Street to
North to benefit traffic to and from
the creamery and ice plant. Messrs.
Eugene Mabrey and Walter F. Keith,
were appointed committee to inves-
tigate the matter, ascertain the cost
and report back to Council. The mat
ter of water and sewer service to
the residents of Ncrth Main Street
from North Street out to Frank
McCawley's residence at Glenwood
Avenue was discussed but no def
mite conclusion was come to. For
some time the residents of that end
of the town have been asking for
water and sewer service but owing to
the fact that there was not sufficient
fall, Council has been dubious about
spending money to run a pipe line up
to the McCawley residence where no
expert assurance could be given that
the service would be dependable. Re-
port was made that the cutters at the
East end of Commerce Street toward
the Smyrna Landing road had been
dug out and that there was hope the
drainage in that part of town would
be much better.
