BOWERS BEACH

We are thankful that we have some
assurance that we will get concrete
road connecting the town with the du
Pont boulevard during this next year.
The thought uppermost in our minds
now is the deplorable condition of the
dirt road leading from the town to the
concrete road.
We hope that the authorities will
consider tine vast amount of travel Ov-
er this road from practically all over
the Stare and take Is up as soon as it's
possible for them to do so.
Those who have local ice houses are
busy filling them with ice about five
inches in thickness and the outlook
at this time is that they are going to
get a good supply.
There yet remains many of the
people of the place in bed sick, un-
der the doctors care. Those of the
latest to be attacked are w. S. Da-
wilson, Mrs. Mary A. Short and Miss
Letha King. Mrs. Nathaniel COverdale
of near town is reported seriously i'll
at her home.
Captain Bill Carey, the expert hun

on the same date, several muskrats.

THE LEGISLATURE
STARTS TO PASS BILLS
Continued from first page)

With but one vote against it, that
of Senator Hopkins of Kent county,
the Senate on Wednesday morning
passed the House substitute for Rep
resentative Brogan's bill providing
for the parole of prisoners. The bill
had previously passed the House by a
vote of 81 to 2. All that it now needs
to make ii a law is the signature of
Governor Denney.
Every Senator present, with the eX-
ception of Senator Hopkins, voted for
the bill Senator Simonton was alb
sent.
After it had been explained by Hen
ry R. Isaacs of Wilmington and after
Senator Hardesty remarked that he
was not ready to vote on the bill, on
his motion Senator Truitt's bill pro
viding for certain electors to vote by
mail was fixed as a special order for
2 o'clock next Tuesday.
| The Senate Wednesday morning
passed unanimously bill introduced
| by Senator Viven which would give
the State Board of Agriculture the
power to inspect accredited focks of
chickens at the request of the owners
and to issue certificates showing their
vigor, vitality and freedom from dis
ease, according to standards to be sent
by the State Board of Agriculture.
Senator Ridgely explained that the OBJ
ject of the bill was to standardize and
stimulate poultry raising in Delaware,
just as has been done in grain and
fruit.
The certificates showing that the
poultry has been inspected will be is
sued by the State Board of ,Agricul-
ture and the owner of a flock will be
able to label or mark eggs or poultry
so that the purchaser will know that
they have been properly inspected and
graded and he will know he is getting
what he is paying for.
By unanimous vote the Senate Tues
day afternoon passed Senator Walk
er's Senate Joint resolution to ratify
the suffrage amendment. This resOlu-
tion has been before the legislature
many times before and only two years
ago it was killed largely by Demo-
cratic votes. The resolution now goes
to the House for action by that body.
When the resolution was called up
Tuesday afternoon, Senator Walker
asked for the privilege of the floor
for Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles. Mrs.
Hilles said that, of course, suffrage is
now fact, but that Delaware had not
ratified the amendment. All that she
could say on the subject Mrs. Hilles
stated, was that "it is better late than
never"
President Pro Tenn Murphy laugh
ingly inquired if a similar resolution !
had not been before the Senate on
other occasion.
Eyes and it was always defeated by
the Democrats" Senator Walker re-
piled. The vote was then taken and |
was unanimous. /
