Fire Companies and the Five Points
Civics Association and the New Cas-
tie County Volunteer Firemen's AS
ISOLATION sent communications to the
Levy Court today asking that body
to appropriate $500 to each of the
three fire organizations for the COM
ing year. On motion of commits
sioner Strahorn the letters were or
dered filed and a hearing will be
given the firemen next Tuesday.
The letter from the Elsmere Com
pany set forth that they responded
to 90 alarms during the past few
months 80 per cent. of them being
in the rural districts.
The three companies were refus-
ed an appropriation by the Levy
Court last July. At that time 1t
was jntimated that the Wilmington
Fire Department would provide fire
protection in the districts in which
the three companies were located.
Since then. however, Fire Chief Lutz
who recently observed a demonstra-
ton of the companies in the county
fremen's Association, has announced
he will not send any companies from
this city to Christiana hundred south
of Lancaster avenue, claiming the
rural flremen are capable of COM
batting fires in that section.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD SHOULD
HEAD INTO DELTA SECTION

Considerable newspaper comment
has been made by Grand Junction
papers about the feasibility of the
proposed railroad into Southern Colo
RADIO and where the northern termin-
us should be. Grand Junction, ma
turally, assumes there is but one
terminus for the road-Grand juno
tion.
Taking the cold facts into consid-
Grafton, there is much more feasi-
BILE route for the road by coming up
on the sunny side of the Disappoint-
ment country, striking Norwood, Ma
turita, Nucla and across to Delta,
connecting here with the Rio Grande.
Delta county and Gunnison county
with their immense coal fields, unde-
veloped, offer to any railroad an un-
limited tonnage. Besides this the
undeveloped thousands of acres of
land. coupled with the vast tonnage
which is developed the railroad Off
ciais of the new proposed line will
likely look into our section before de-
finitely deciding upon any route.
The anthracite fields above Paonia,
it is claimed, are largest deposits of
undeveloped coal in the country.
The California syndicate, undoubt-
edly, are looking for the best bust
ness possible for their railroad. The
route through Delta is one not to be
overlooked
