TOWN COUNCIL VOTES OUR
F|REMEN 100000 ANNUALLY
COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS HOSE
COMPANY VISIT COUNCIL.
Need Funds to Keep Equipment and
Running Expenses in Proper Form.
Council Discusses Hauling Coal.

Smyrna Town Council met in regu-
lar session Friday night with Presi-.
dent L. NJ. Price and all members pre-
sent, except Councilman Herman L.
Robinson. The session had hardly
been called to order before a commit
tee composed of Harry B. Grieves,
Joseph B. HUM and George w. Gun
ming, representing the Citizens Hose
Company, No. l, of Smyrna, awaited
on the members of council requesting
an annual appropriation of $500 to
carry on the expenses of the hose
room and its equipment, The members
reported the condition of the Volun-
teer Fire Company, the expense they
had recently been under and the grow
needs for modern home to house
their equipment and better and more
attractive meeting place for the
"bOys" who were ever ready to give
their services when the need required.
Some years ago council offered TO
give the hose company $500 a year,
but after few payments, this fund,
for some reason or other, was discon-
tinued. 1t was found that $1,000 in
those days was practically nothing
to cover expenses and needs and they
asked that council take a more liberal
attitude and appropriate a certain
amount every year. On motion of
Secretary Porter, it was voted unani-
mously to appropriate 100000 a year
to the Smyrna Fire Company. With
what they can save out of this and
what they can make out of firemen's S
carnivals the hose company hope 70
buy or build a modern fire house, one
that will be a credit to the town and a
JOY to the volunteer fremen whose
services Smyrna could i'll afford to be
without. The visit of the fremen's
committee and the discussion took up
most of the meeting and what little
time was left before adjourning, was
given to the project of putting the
hauling of coal out at bids and lei
Supervisor B. w. Turner give all his
time to keepi/g streets clean and 9TH
er work which is more or less neglect
ed. Nothing was definitely decided
/ on.

STANDARDIZATION CITIZENS
BOOST ROAD To WELLINGTON
HOLD ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
AT OFFICE OF w. F. KEITH.
Route Suggested is Route From Mil
lingtOn Thru Clayton and Com
merce St.. Smyrna, to Boulevard.

Citizens of Smyrna and Clayton
deld an enthusiastic meeting at the
garoge of w. F. Keith & Son, on Main
street, Monday night to boost a con-
crete road from Smyrna thru Clayton
and Blackistons to the Maryland line
on road to Millington. The Maryland
State Highway Commission has given
assurances to extend the Galena road
from Colts to Millington and the
Delaware line, if the Delaware State
Highway Commission will build a
road from state line thru Clayton and
Smyrna to the newly proposed DUPONT
Highway. The meeting Monday ev-
ening was to determine the choice OF
the route. The route from Millington
to Clayton is almost straight due
west and east and the consensus Of
opinion was that it should follow the
Smyrna Branch railway from Clayton
through Commerce street, Smyrna, to
join up with the dupont Boulevard
when it is built, from the Finger
Board" to Armstrong; Corner.
1hlS piece OF road Will cross the mead
ow at Lake Como and intersect Com
merce street this side of the Leinber-
ger residence and through the pear
orchard of the Voshell property now
the home of Earl Keith. Some favor
ed the old Bombay Hook railroad route
thru Clayton and the Gelenwood av-
enue route through Smyrna to join
the Boulevard but a majority of both
Clayton and Smyrna favored the Com
merce street route. 1t is understood
that all of the members of Smyrna
Town Council favor the Commerce
street entrance. The matter will be
brought before the State Highway
Commission at its meeting in Dover
today, but just what chance there i.
of getting this road this year remain.
to be seen.

Delaware Institution Now Ten Months
Old, Showing Creditable Progress
Thursday, March 22nd, was the day
appointed for the people of the north
ern part of Kent county to visit Della
ware colony, Mrs. w. w. Hynson rep
resenting this part of the county on
the board of lady visitors. Those
who visited the colony on Thursday
were Mrs. H. D. Boyer, Mrs. E. G.

HynsOn, Of Smyrna; Mrs. Louis Hurd,
Mrs. John Ford, Mrs. Joshua Van
SAINT and Mrs. Alfred Bennett, Of
Clayton; Mrs. J.. 3. Hutton, of Dover;
Mrs. Garrett Harrington and Mrs.
Hurd, of Harrington. The ladies
found the colony making some prog
ress toward a school where each boy
and girl will be taught the lines of
work they can do. This has been
greatly needed in our state for many
years and now that we have begin
ming, not yet one year old, the people
of our state should give it their SYM
pathy and support and help to care for
and protect those who must enter a
school of this kind.

ELKTON GRETNA GREEN GOING
Maryland NOn-Residents Must Wait
"a Hours to Marry Under Bill
Which Passed Senate Last Week.

Following further expose of "jitney
trusts" and ministerial competition in
the ElktOn, Nd, marriage market by
Senator Cantwell, Cecil county, the
Maryland Senate finally passed Fri
day, by vote of 20 to 7, the state
wide bill to prevent runaway mar
riages in Maryland. The measure
was sent to the House for action and
it is predicted will be favorable. In
der bill couples not residents of Mary
land will be required to wait 48 hours
after application before they will be
issued a license to marry. Marriage
is becoming more and more CONNER
cialized every day under the existing
law" Senator Cantwell declared.
And conditions in Elkton are getting
worse daily. Fee-splitting by minis
ters is the practice to meet the compe-
tition among clergymen. We have
virtual marriage bureaus established
by travelling parsons who do not hesi-
tate to stOOp to this means of liveli-
hood. ave don't want Cecil county
the washing for New York, Philadel-
phia and Wilmington. There are be-
tween 1000 and 5000 marriages in
ElktOn year and the absence of a
law such as | have proposed is respon-
sible for the condition. Many of these
couples separate Immediately and the
majority of them come from outside
the state. There is no opposition 10
this bill except from the so-called Git
ney trust" and clerks of the courts
who profit by the condition"
The bill does not affect residents of
Maryland, who may take out licenses
to marry as they do now without the
/ 48-hOur registration. Senator Can't
we'll said he felt the Elkton evil would
be cured by applying the proposed
law only to nOn-residents. His bill
followed a far more drastic measure
which the Wilmington Conference of
the Protestant Episcopal Church
would have had introduced. The lat
ter applied alike to Marylanders and
non-residents, and would have made it
a felony for an ordained minister er
one not in charge of a parish to per-
form a ceremony. 1t also provided for
a fine for clergymen and jitney driv-
ers violating certain clauses and con-
/ tanned a section to prevent fee-split-
ting.

BUTCHER HOG AT HIGH SCHOOL
Prof. Mendenhall Gives Practical In
structiOn in Animal Husbandry.

Last week the Animal Husbandry
Glass of the Smyrna High School un-
der direction of the teacher, Joseph H.
Mendenhall, secured a pig and butch
cred it at the school. The meat was
cut up and sold to the towns people,
the boys made the sausage and the
girls of the domestic science depart
ment rendered the lard and made the
scrapple. The people of . the town,
who purchased the pork have COM
mended the boys in the quality of the
product. The departments of domes-
tic science and agriculture have coop
Grated 1000 this past year, and the
cooperation of the towns people has
shown more than anything else, that
the two departments are in the school
to stay. While these two departments
are comparatively new, they have won
out by their own merits and the tax
payers see the need of such depart
ments, if they are to have modern
schools.
