Cleveland Ave. Will
Not Be Paved
Contractor Unable to Fulfill Promise
and Council Does Not Want
Street lmpassable

Cleveland avenue will probably not
be paved this year. This was the an
nouncement made by Mayor Frazer
this afternoon.
This results from the fact that
f. w. Lovett, who contracted for the
paving of the street some weeks ago
and promised to start the work in
thirty days, cannot fulfill his part of
the promise due to the fact that he
is tied up on job in New Jersey,
which he had started previous to be-
ing awarded the local contract.
Mr.. Lovett's time allowance to start
the paving of Cleveland avenue ex-
pired some weeks ago and the men,
bers of Town Council did everything
in their power to have him start the
work, but the contractor claimed this
an impossibility and it was decided by
the Town Fathers to obtain another
contractor for the job.
The only way the members of Coun-
Gil would consider leaving the con-
tract to another contractor was that
he promise to have the work COM
pleted before the cold weather set in.
This was to make sure that the work
of digging up the street and making
it impossible was not started and
then the work stopped because of the
cold weather.
Efforts to obtain a contractor who
would agree to this were without
avail and the members Of Council
have about given up the idea of carry
ing on the work this year.
This comes. as a severe shock to
the people along the avenue as they
had made all preparations for having
the work completed before the winter
set in.

Old Time Anglers
Tell "Big Tales -
From the Stories Related There
Were "Some Wonderful Fish"
at Dayett's Dam

If you missed the meeting of the
Newark Anglers Association in the
firehouse on Monday night, you not
only missed one of the greatest meet
ings the town has ever known, but
you also missed hearing some of the
greatest 3fsh stories" that were ever
told. This "tale" is to relate to these,
story of the meeting appears in
another column.
1t is not likely that there is another
town in the country that has more
ardent fishermen than Newark houses
and it has not been many years ago
when these fishermen had a wonder
full Fishing hole" at Dayett's dam.
That dam broke few years ago and
therefore the fishing there came to
an end, but some of the stories that
are told of fish caught there will, like
Tennyson's Brook" ego on forever" !"
Before the meeting on Monday some
of the old-timers, among them Post
master Bowen, OFT Widdoes, Ben But
terworth, Benz. Eubanks and William
]. Lovett, got together and there were
some "whoppers" told and some of the
younger fishermen who happened to
be in hearing distance stood with
wide-opened eyes to hear of the times
that these men spent on the banks of
the Dayett Dam pulling out fish evil
IDENTIFY "as big as whales"
One man present said that he be-
lieved, if the meeting had not been
called when it was, and these men
that fish as big as horses
would have been the subject of dis
cussion. Dean, E. Laurence Smith is
note the word alleged is used,
to have told some "of the greatest
stories" and they were some stories.

Assistant Football
Coach Is Named
University Athletic Council Names
". B. living - Preliminary
Training at Red Point

Coach William ]. McAvoy, of the
University of Delaware, is to have
an assistant in the football work this
year. This was decided at conference
between the Athletic Council of the
University and Coach McAvoy held
last night.
Inc assistant coach will be w, B.
living, star on the Rutger elevens
IN the years 1914 and 1915. While a
student at Rugers, living was a star
on the football squad and since his
graduation has acted as an assistant
coach at that institution. living will
be remembered locally through his
connection with the Newark County
League baseball team, for which or
ganization he played first base in two
games.
In securing living to help Coach
Mac in his work with the football
squad, the Athletic Council gave as
surance to the new coach that it was
going to do everything in it's power
to assist him in putting a first-class
team on the field. The new member
will assist in the line coaching, this
being his speciality.
At the conference several former
stars, who made name for them
selves on the gridiron while members
of the Blue and Gold, offered their as
sistance to Coach McAvoy and their
offers were accepted. Among those
who offered to do their bit to see
to it that Old Delaware was 'there"
in capital letters were "Bill' and
'"Dick" Cam, both former star ends
at Delaware; Ernie Wilson, one of the
best tackles ever turned out by the
local institution; Bill Stewart and
Alex Crothers, centers, who were real
stars while wearing the Blue and
Gold; Harry Loose, Sank McCaughn
and Mike Fidance, all crack backfield
men whose names will always be pop
ular with athletic accomplishments of
Delaware.
1t can be seen from this list of vol
unteers that Coach McAvoy will be
assisted by some of the finest foot
ball men that ever drew on cleated
shoe and it will be big encourage
ment to the coach to see the old
timers come back and help him in his
work. Some of those who have vol
unteered to do their bit learned a
great deal of their football under
Coach Mac when he was formerly
connected with the local institution.
The majority of those who volun-
teered were captains when playing at
Delaware.
At the meeting last night, an
was made that the pre-
liminary training of the football

GIRLS RECOVER BODY
Local Campers Had Excite
ment While Away

There was quite some excitement
caused in the camp of the Girls Re-
serves, the Newark branch Of the
Y. w. c. A., at the site of Reybold's
Wharf, Md.
This excitement was caused when
three Of the girls found the body
Of a colored man which had been
washed up on the shore near the
camp several days ago.
It cannot be definitely learned, but
at first it was understood that the
body was that of deckhand from
a government boat and that there is
a reward of S10O offered for it's re-
covery.
Since this has been proven not to
be the case, it has been thought that
the body is that of deckhand from
a steamer of the Ericsson Line.

Newark Anglers Association
Held An Enthusiastic Meeting
On Monday Night
UT "ddoes Made President of Booming Organizations
LIFT Dam to be Built at a Cost of $17O292-
Subscription List is Fast Filling


Enthusiastic fishermen of this vi
clnity turned out in a body on Monday
night at the first meeting of the New
ark Anglers Association, held in the
firehouse.
This association is now making
preparations for the rebuilding of the
Dayett Dam and it was for the pur-
pose of thoroughly organizing to do
this work that the meeting was held
on Monday night.
The following officers were elected
President, OFT Widdoes; vice-presi-
dent, Pusey Morrison; secretary, w.
II. Evans; treasurer, j. Earle Dough-
erty. The following directors were
chosen: Pusey Morrison, w. H.
Evans, Prof. Thoroughbred, L. Bow
en-, o. Widdoes, G. o. Lomax and
j. P. Wright. With this body of Off
GERS it can be seen that the new
organization means business and the
ball has started rolling already to
make the organization the strongest
of its kind in the State.
Prof. Thoroughbred, who is in
ch arge of the surveying work, told
those present at the meeting of the
plans that have already been made
and spoke of the many natural ad-
vantages of the site that the associa-
tion has leased from Joseph B. East
burn, for the next twenty-five years.
Besides the pond the association also
has about an acre of ground and on
this ground there will probably be
built club house and several bunga-
lows by members of the organization.
The plans call for the erection of
twelve foot reinforced concrete breast
dam at the cost of $1702.92. This
work would have cost a great deal
more had not a great deal of the ma
terial that will be used in the con-
struction been on the grounds at the

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
The Big Firemen's Carnival
Opens This Saturday
Everything in Readiness for Biggest Event Yet Staged by
Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder "Boys"


Just two more days. Then the
opening of the annual carnival of the
Aetna Hose Hook and Ladder Co., on
Academy street. 1t has already been
announced that the affair this year
will be bigger and better than ever
and it will only be short time now
until this is proven to the people of
Newark and vicinity and the commit
tees in charge are preparing to handle
the biggest crowds ever with the
opening on Saturday night.
If there is any man in the town
buster than E. C. Wilson at the pres
ent time he is certainly some busy
gentleman. "Cliff" Wilson has for
years past been the real worker in
the Firemen's carnival and this year
is no exception and right at the
present time he eats, sleeps and
thinks carnival from early morning
until late at night and it is difficult
matter to get him to discuss anything
else. Mr.. Wilson stated today that
the plans and preparations for the
carnival are about completed and that
the people in this section will have
to them a carnival the like
of which has never before been known
in this vicinity.
In the past there has been show
and moving pictures but this year
onlv the "movies" will be featured.

New Fire Alarm
System Is Probable
Members Of Aetna Hose, Hook an
Ladder Co. May Install
Air Whistle

For long time it has been the
hope of the people of this vicinity
that fire alarm would be installed
at the Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder
Co., which could be rung from a GEN.
trail location by the mere calling of
the telephone operator.
There is strong possibility now
that such an arrangement will be in
stalled in the new firehouse being
erected.
In the past it has been necessary
to call the operator and have her in
turn call some member of the fire
company or to call the member direct
yuorself, but if the present plan
works out, in the future a call to
central will be all that is necessary
and she can, from her place at the
switchboard send in the alarm that
will warn the entire town that there
is fire.
For some time the fremen have
been discussing the purchase of an
electrical siren to be used as a fire
signal, but it seems that this form
OF warning signal has not come up
to the standard needed here and the
present plans that are being taken
under advisement call for a COM
pressed air whistle which could be
blown from the telephone exchange.
The whistle that has been under con-
sideration would have a fifty pound
tank attachment and motor would
be attached that would blow the
whistle indefinitely should the air
tank fail in its operation.
Such an arrangement as this would
be decided improvement on the new
firehouse and will probably be in
stalled if there are sufficient funds for
its purchase after the building is
completed.

present time. The building of the
dam will be carried on by Ben But
terworth and othere members of the
organization. At first it was thought
that contract would be let out for
the work but those in charge, upon
investigation, found that they could
carry on the work themselves and
save a great deal of money.
1t was only temporary organiza-
ton that was formed on Monday
night, but the same officers will re-
main in office after the charter for
the body has been obtained.
Dean E. L. Smith, J. Earl Dough-
erty and George Townsend were ap-
jointed as committee to obtain a
charter for the organization.
Mayor Frazer was to have attended
the meeting on Monday night, but
sent regrets that he was unable to be
present due to other duties of the
town that kept him engaged.
Up until the present time the or
ganization has collected no money,
but only taken list of subscribers.
Now the body will start to take in the
finances promised and a receipt for
all money received will be given and
stock certificates will be issued in the
near future. The stock will have a
par value of $40 share.
1t is the hopes of the officials of the
organization that $25OO can be raised
in the drive and from the present in
dications this amount will be in the
treasury in a short time. This will
not only cover the cost of building
the dam, but will also go long ways
toward the stocking of the Fishing
hole" with game fish. The subscrip-
tion list is nearly filled and all those
who intend joining the organization
had better step lively.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1922-08-23

This is brought about due to the fact
that the committee was not quite sat
isfied with the class of shows that
could be obtained for the carnival and
it was decided that it would be bet
ter to arrange for the showing of
feature pictures and this will be done.
Some excellent pictures have been OBJ
tanned and the "movie fans" who have
missed their pastime since the warm
weather set in will have an opportun-
ity to see some fine shows.
All the committees have been work.
ing their hardest and are ready for
the opening night and there will be
surprises galore for all those who
attend.
Another feature of this years
carnival will be the "Silk Stocking
Girls" This attraction made big
hit sometime ago when appearing
here at the carnival aid they are
brought back by popular request.
Excellent music for the dancing has
been arranged and all in all every
thing will be in tip-top form when
the gates to the 'big show" open on
Saturday night.
1t is expected that hundreds of out
of-town people will attend the carni-
val and those in charge will make
special preparations for the parking
of automobiles and teams.
