Speeders Worry
Town Officials
Mayor Says Problem is Beyond
Him-Depot Road Used
AS Speedway

What is Newark going to do with the
speed demons who insist on using her
streets and roads leading into the
town as speedways?
1t is a question and a big one.
Mayor Frazer has tried to answer it,
but on Monday night he stated that
he was at his wits ends in irving to
put stop to this practice that is
daily endangering the lives of those
who have to use the roads and streets.
One of the favorite spots for the
speeders is Depot Road. A stranger
walking along this road might think
that the State or town had set this
road apart for the "nuts" who could
not control their speeding instincts,
for more than one machine has been
seen going along this road at a clip
of over 45 miles an hour.
One of the prominent citizens of
the town who lives near Depot Road
stated in talk with Mayor Frazer
on Monday night that he had seen
machine after machine use this road
as speedway and that he had reported
the number of several of these ma
chimes to the Safety Department but
that the practice seemed to continue.
Mayor Frazer said that he had
called in Constable Ellison on the mat
ter and that he had arrested several
speeders and taken them before Mag
istrate McKelvey, who the constable
claims dismissed those who he had ar
rested for speeding. Mayor Frazer
said that he had taken the matter up
with Mr.. McKelvey, but that it seemed
without results. Although council hao
no session on Monday night, Magis.
trate McKelvey made report of the
fines and costs he had imposed or
persons brought before him. In this
report it was shown that three persons
had been fined $5 for speeding. The
mayor said that he could not under.
stand why the magistrate made the
fine S. as the law makes the minimum
fine $40 and costs.
The matter is getting to a poin
now where the people of the town viii
have to join together and make some
arrangements for the stopping of tn,
speeding. The majority of the speed
ers use the roads leading into the tow
and Main Street for their recort
breaking efforts and it maybe tina
Levy Court will be petitioned to plac,
a highway policeman in this vicinit!
for sometime for the purpose of max
ing the roads safe for travel.

Fourth In Newark
Safe And Sane
Celebration of Signing Of lndepend-
ence Unusually Quiet May
Have Community Celebration

Newark commemorated the One
Hundred and Forty-sixth anniversary
OF the signing of the Declaration of
independence yesterday in a very
quiet manner. There was no COM
munlty affair arranged and it seemed
as though the majority of the people
OF the town were away for the holi-
day.
There was the usual shooting of
firecrackers by the youngsters of the
town, but this practice was not as in
years past and it was one of the quiet
est Fourths that Newark has ever ex-
perienced. In the evening there were
several private displays of fireworks
which were very pretty.
AS far as can be learned no chill
dren were injured by fireworks, a
record OF which the town should we'll
be proud in these times of safe and
sane Fourth of July celebrations.
There were no sporting events on
the card for the day and many of
the towns people went to Wilmington
in the afternoon to witness the auto
mobile races there. Others made the
trip to Wilmington and attended the
Community celebration at Baynard
Field.
Many persons who remained in
town over the Fourth claim that next
year they will start a movement for a
Community celebration. Towns in all
parts of the country have these cele-
brations now and many of the towns
people will be willing to back such a
movement here in Newark.
The town has two bands and either
one of these would have probably been
willing to help out with community
celebration this year, but no such
movement was started.
These celebrations generally con-
sist of a flag raising, several good
speakers and program of music and
sports in the afternoon and as eli
max, large firework celebration at
night. One of the members of New
ark's Chamber of Commerce stated
yesterday that he was going to take
the matter up with that body and
see to it that Newark had town cele-
bration next Fourth that would be
second to none in the State.

After raldlng fifteen places in Will
mlngton on last Thursday night, a
flying squadron" of United States

and raided the Deer Park Hotel, ar
resting James A. McKelvey, proprie-
tor of the establishment.
According to the authorities the
raid at the local hotel netted a choice
assortment of Scotch whiskey, Creme

ment of liquor it is claimed that a
quantity of beer was found at the
place and miniature bottling estab-
lishment.
The raiding party operated from
the office of Federal Prohibition Di-

King Streets, Wilmington. The local
Federal agents, Howard, Leroy and
Edwards, were aided by Assistant Di-
visional Chief Linton Evans, of Divi-
sion a., with headquarters at Wash

G. V. Hawkins, of Washington; Dep
uty United States Marshal George
Ball, Frank E. Haley, special officer
of the Law and Order Society, and
Rev. E. c. Prettyman, superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon League of Della
ware.
The raiding party travelled in high
powered motor cars and started the
raids in Wilmington about o'clock
in the afternoon and finished up with
the Deer Park Hotel raid shortly after

According to members of the raid
ing party after the Wilmington raids

time candidate for the offices of Fed
eral Prohibition Director and United

, formation given out, the esquire" was
at the hotel when the agents made
their appearance. He is said to have
been busy with work connected with
his duties as justice.
Without recognition the agents
crowded into the barroom and Nickel
vey is said to have called to them
"1'll be with you in minute"
A search of the place, it is alleged
revealed many bottles of beer under
the counter and in various closets
throughout the first and second floors
of the hotel. In small room on the
first floor small bottling establish
ment was found. The alleged whiskey
was found in another part of the
building. In order to transport the
: seized goods it was necessary to hire

last week the Board met for the
nnrpose Of fixing the price of the
bonds and other items that had to be
attended to before the bonds could be
.oIa but it was impossible for the
members Of the Board to go ahead
with this work until the State Board
issued the certificate of election.
Newark's Board of Education held
special meeting on Saturday night
of last week for the purpose of or
ganzing for the ensuing year. At
This meeting after the organization
was effected the matter of the bond
issue was thoroughly discussed by the
members.
The local Board has been in touch
with several bonding and banking
houses to learn at what term of in
terest these bonds can be sold. The
Board wants to sell the bonds at the
lowest possible figure but there is a
State law that forbids the sale of the
bonds at less than par.
The members of the Board hope to
meet with the architect of the Service
Citizens who will give his services to
the local Board free of charge. This
is a big item of saving for the local
district. The architect was to have
conferred with the local Board mem,
zers last week but it was found i'm,
possible for him to be present but il
is thought a conference will be helC
this week.
1t is the opinion of the local mem
bers that the original plans of the
building can be used with the build
ing of one end Of the building with
the amount that will be realized from
the sale of the bonds. The remainder
Of the school can be completed when
the Delaware School Auxiliary do

this town for its new school building
Just how soon this contribution will

members Of the local Board have beer
assured that Newark will be the frs
town to receive a sum of money from
the auxiliary when that body start

school building will be is not known a
