BEGIN SMYRNA'S S165,OOO
HIGH SCHOOL LAST OF JUNE
SCHOOL BOARD ABANDON PLAN
TO UNITE NEW WITH THE OLD
An Entirely New Building Will Be
Erected Back in the Campus Near
Frazier Street.-The Plans

w. o. Hoffecker, president, Walter
w. Hynson and Howard R. Jones of
the Smyrna Board of Education, ac-
companied by Prof. C. w. w. Schantz
superintendent of Smyrna Special
District Schools, went to Dover Mon
day to confer with DIR. Odell, presi-
dent, and A. ]. Taylor, consulting en-
gineer, of the Delaware School Aux
iliary, regarding plans for building
Smyrna's new $165,0O0 school building
Architect E. S. Betelle, of Newark, n.
j., was there and the plans were gone
into at length. After considering the
various plans presented, it was decid-
ed to abandon all thoughht of build
ing to the present school building on
South street but to build anew from
the ground up. The new building,
which will be a >two-story brick, will
be erected back on the lot about %
feet from Frazier street of about $50
feet and a depth of rs feet. The
rear of the school will be made as at
tractive and ornamental as possible to
give a good view from South street.
The Jester property or the building
now used for household arts, will be
moved giving a wider sweep of campus
Across Frazier street will be the
athletic field the campus and field
covering in all about ten acres. The
Auxiliary Association, which has the
administration of the funds for edu-
cational purposes given by P. S. du-
Pont, has promised Smyrna 100000
toward the new building, and by au-
thority of a referendum vote the
School Board has sold bonds to raise
/ S65,0OO The Smyrna Board of Edu-
cation Monday, passed resolution in
( structing Architect Beetle to prepare
/ plans for a two story brick building
containing twelve class rooms, an aud
itorium and gymnasium and offices
and to submit said plans to the Smyr
ma Board of Education as quickly g:
possible. The present school building
which will be used for the elementar!
grades, will be improved inside anC
out to give it a more modern appear
ance. The School Board hopes t,
have "dirt flying" on the new building
by the latter part of June or as soOl
as the school enters upon its vaca
ton period.

KENT LEVY COURT VOTES IN
FAVOR SMYRNA-CLAYTON ROAD
WILL RECOMMEND TO HIGHWAY
BOARD THAT ROAD BE BUILT.
Delegation Awaits Upon Levy Court
Yesterday and Receive Much En-
cOuragement-PrOie Hanging

The citizens of Smyrna and Clay
ton are strong for a road from the
Boulevard at Smyrna thru Clayton to
the Maryland line joining up with the
proposed pike in Maryland, which
will this year be extended from Mas
sey to Millington. From the Mary
land line to the DUPONT road is ap-
prOXimately eight miles and as the
State Highway Commission and Kent
County Levy Court have given scant
consideration to the upper end of the
cOunty-Duck Greek and Kenton Hun
dreds-citizens and tax payers are
putting up the argument that since
this end of the county is one of the
biggest tax producers of the Kent
County, and the proposed road besides
being a feeder to Maryland serves one
of the best farming communities to
be found anywhere in the state, the
citizens of Smyrna and Clayton and
the farming communities contiguous
thereto are entitled to consideration.
This fact was explained vigorously
before the State Highway Commission
Wednesday last when a large and re-
preventative delegation from both
towns journeyed to Dover. The dele
cation received encouragement from
the Highway Commission to the end
a survey will be made and the project
looked into. Yesterday the matter
was brought before the Kent County
Levy Court which unanimously voteC
to recommend the project. 1t j:
figured that by looping of here anC
there together with the money saveC
by the bids being under approximate
costs per mile, enough funds will b,
available to put the project thru thi!
year. The recommendations of The
Kent County Levy Court will be pu
up to the Highway Board at its meet
ing today and both the Smyrna anG
/ Clayton delegations are pleased owe
the prospect of some real cOnstruc
tion work being started at as earl,
date as possible. The Highwa.
Board today after considering the pro
ject found there were not enough
funds available.

TO BUILD JETTY AT REHOBOTH
Believe Beach Front Protection Will
Bring About Boom for Resort

Bring About Boom for Resort
Through the construction of three
jetties, which it is believed will save
the beach front at Rehoboth from
further serious encroachments by the
Atlantic ocean, and through the sup
port of prominent Delawareans from
this section who have been quietly
maturing plans to boost the resort,
present indications are that Rehoboth
is due for the most substantial boom
it has ever experienced. The Re-
hoboth Beach Commission named at
the direction of the General Assembly
to spend the appropriation of $4,000
which the Legislature made last
winter to save the beach, which had
been severely cut up and washed away
in places by storms ON the Atlantic,
Monday advertised for bids for the
jetties and these will be opened on
April II. 1t is hoped that the work
can be done in a month and every
thing completed before the time for
summer visitors to arrive at Rehoboth
in any large numbers. The jetties
will consist of hook jetty supported
by stone and two straight jetties, un-
supported. These, it is believed, will
be sufficient to cause the current of
the tide to wash back some of what
it has removed. In addition to saw
ing the beach front the commission
also hopes that the jetties may result
in the Cape Henlopen lighthouse be-
ing saved, the structure now being
threatened by the action of the sea.
Because of his faith in Rehoboth and
willingness to help in any way that
he may to boom the only sea-shore
resort Delaware has, the naming of
Irenee du Pont as a member of the
Rehoboth Commission, to succeed
United States Senator Coleman du
Pont, by Governor Denney, will bring
to that body an enthusiastic booster
of the resort. "Why should we go
elsewhere to spend the summer,
asked Mr.. du Pont, "when we have
Rehoboth? We cannot expect any
one to invest, however, in realty at
Rehoboth until the beach front is pro-
detected" In discussing the matter
Monday Mr.. du Pont said that he
favored obtaining the aid of experts
in rehabilitating the beach front, and
that once Rehoboth beach was assured
of protection from the sea that the
resort ought to go forward. From
his present ideas, it is likely that Mr..
du Pont will have several bungalows
constructed on his seashore property.
The members of the Rehoboth Com
mission are Senator j. Carey Palmer,
of Milton, chairman; Senator Charles
d. Murphy, Harrington; Representa-
tive Thomas Turner. Lewes; Repre-
sentative H. E. Clendaniel, Lincoln
City, and Mr.. du Pont, of Whining
ton.

HEAVY CATTLE LOSSES

 Orsk. Rpssia,s. Nov. 27.--Efforts are being made here to revive the West ern Asia cattle trade Of" the days be- fore the war. Then there were cat tie kings among the nomodic tribes who possessed as high as 30.00o head of stock, cows. steers, horses and sheep, and the entire country was gjv- en over to cattle raising and the pro- duction of grain. N., s
 But today these herds have been so reduced that the owner who has even q hundred.head considers himself for tunate. The Orsk tanneries, in the old days, used to turn out hundreds of. thousands tof hides annually, but this industry today Is at a standstill because of. the slump in cattle raising. As a result there Is much unemploy- ment in the district, and. scarcely enough grain on hand to last the peo- pie half through the winter.
