SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION HIT
Delaware House Refuses To Pay For
the Transportation of Children
May Affect Consolidated Districts

One of the proposed amendments to
the school law advocated by the State
Board of Education which has an i'm
portant bearing on the consolidation
of Public schools throughout the State
was defeated in the House yesterday
afternoon after a bitter fight. This
bill authorized the payment of trans
portation of school schildren, when
living more than a certain distance
from schools, two miles for children
under the sixth grade and three miles
for children above the sixth grade.
The act was intended to correct q
deficiency in the school law which
makes no provision for the transpOr-
tation of school children, but for
which provision was made in the last
appropriation to the State Board.
While the appropriation was insutti-
cient to carry out equitably the con-
sOlidation plans of the Board, trans
portation was provided out of the
available funds to points where il
would serve. the greatest number
There has been much criticism of the
Board from various sections of the
State because in sparsely settled dis
tricts the Board had not provided
transportation. The action of the
House, unless there is a change Of
heart, strikes a blow at consolidated
schools of the State forshadows fur
ther appropriation cuts, and may re
suit in the re-opening of many countr!
schools. DIR. H. V. Holloway, Stat
! Superintendent of Public instruction
explained to the members of tn,
House the difficulties under which tn
board was laboring bcause of the lacl
of sufficient appropriation to prOvid
transportation to all the children 0
the State. He said he realized tn
injustice of the State providing trans
portation for some school children an
not for others, but explained that wit
the funds at their disposal the mem
bers of the State board had done tn
best they could under the circun
stances, and had distributed the fund
only after careful consideration, in
way which would benefit the create:
: number. A recommendation of RI
preventative Gray to have the bill r'
committed to the education cOmmittt
was defeated. The vote on the bi
itself was 16 yeas and IA nays, bl
lacked the constitutional two-thirC
majority. a

VOTE PERMANENT VOTING LIST
Bill Passes This Legislature But Must
Be Ratified Two Years Hence

Senator Viven's permanent regis
tration bill with Senate amendment
was unanimously passed by the House
Friday afternoon. The original bill
called for five registration days the
same as under the present law, and
the amendment cuts them down to
two registration days, it being con-
tended there would be no necessity
under a permanent registration law
for five registration days. The bill
will save the State a large sum of
money now paid for registration Of
ficers and for rent of places to con-
duct the registration. The bill would
amend the State constitution and con-
sequently will require favorable ac-
ton by two consecutive sessions of
the Legislature before it becomes a
law. 1t provides that after a voter is
once registered re-registration' will
not be required every two years. The
two registration days will be for the
enrolling of new voters and those lwhC
have moved from one district to an
other or from some other State tC

BILL TO SET ASIDE FUNDS
FOR BUILDING COUNTY ROADS
SENATOR HARDESTY ASKS FOR
STATE AID 100000 ANNUALLY
To be Divided in Equal Proportions
to The Three Counties by the Del
aware State Highway Department


State aid for county road cOnstruc-
ton is provided in a bill introduced in
the Senate of the Delaware Legisla-
ture Monday afternoon by Senator
Hardesty. 1t provides that the State
Highway Department shall set aside
annually a sum of not less than $780,
600 to be offered in equal portions to
the three counties of the State for the
permanent improvement of such roads
in these counties as shall be mutually
agreed upon by the State Highway
Commission and the Levy Court, or
other body having jurisdiction over
the expenditure of money for highway
improvements in the counties. The
bill further provides that in case of
disagreement as to the roads to be
improved in these counties, the roads
so to be improved shall be such as
selected and designated by the Levy
Court, or other body having jurisdic-
ton over the expenditure of money
for highway improvement in these
counties,provided that the Levy Court
of these counties contribute equal
amounts, dollar for dollar, to the
State appropriation for the construc-
ton of these roads. The Kent county
Levy Court is authorized, in another
act introduced by Senator Belts, tC
issue bonds for the permanent i'm
provement of certain public highways
in the county, not to exceed 100000
The bonds would bear per cent in
terest, to be issued at such time a.
the Levy Court of Kent county shal
designate. They are divided int
twenty-five classes, of $4,000 each

NEW DORMITORY FOR L. OF D.
Women to Have Dining Hall and Dor
mitOry if Collins Bill Passes

Representative Collins of Newark,
introduced bill in the House Nom
day authorizing the State Treasurer
to issue bonds to the amount of $780,
600 for the building of a dining hall
and dOrmitory to be known as ''Kent
Hall" at the Women's College, Uni
versity of Delaware. 1t is provided
that the bonds be issued by April l
of this year and the funds tuned>over
to the trustees of the University who
would have charge of the erection of
such building. Provision is made for
$1,000 of the bonds to mature each
year beginning April /, 1924 the last
$4,000 to mature in 1858. Interest is
not to exceed Az per cent. This bill
is backed by the Alumnae Associate 4
of the college. Such a building is
badly needed, as the present dormi-
tories, and dining rooms are overs
crowded. 1t was recently intimated
that the Women's College another
year would probably have to limit its
freshman class owing to lack Of room
to quarter the students.

MIDDLETOWN SCHOOL BOARD
Representative Davis Introduces Bill
To Dust Present Board By Law


Representative Davis Thursday af-
ternoon in the House introduced an
other of the so called ripper bills. 1t
is an act requiring a report by the
trustees of the Middletown Academy,
ending the terms of Office Of the pres
ent members thereof, and providing
for the election of new trustees in
their places. The present trustees
are directed by the bill to give an ac-
counting on or before the first Mon
day in March to the town commits
sioners of Middletown showing in de-
tail all their receipts, expenditures
and transactions since they were
created. They are also directed to
turn over to their successors all their
books, papers and accounts. At the
next annual election in Middletown
there will be elected seven persons to
serve as trustees from one to seven
years respectively, they. to determine
the length of their individual terms
by lot. This new board is required to
report annually before January Is to
the Town Commissioners giving in de-
tail their receipts and expenditures.
1t appears there has been some diff
ficulty between some or all of the
/ present trustees of the academy which
is a state high school and the people
of the town, the latter claiming that
they have been unable to induce the
present board to give the accounting
of their affairs which the residents of
that place have sought.

Townsend, Feb. &c. NJ. Records
& Co., fruit and vegetable Gamers,
now operating two large and modern
plants at Blackbird and VanDyke, for
the packing of sweet corn and tOma-
toes, have announced that they intend
to pack peas the coming season, and
besides Blackbird and Vandyke are
looking for a site for a factory at
Townsend. E. NJ. Records, who re-

matter stated that his company de-
sires to geteinto the pea game in a

the Delaware College Experiment
Station that peas can be successfully
grown in this neighborhOOd. The
company, with this idea in mind has
obtained an option on a very desirable
site at Townsend for the erection of
a large and up-to-date plant equipped
to not only pack peas but a large
quantity of both sweet corn and to-
matoes as well. Mr. Records states
that with this plant in operation his
company will have a total capacity OF
about 100000 cases per annum, and
with this increased production he feels
that he can materially reduce his unit

BROUGHT FIRST
SHEEP TO STATE

Fifty-four years ago John f.
Bishop and Dick Reynolds arrived
in Montana with the first band of
sheep brought into the territory.
The herd was traiIed from The
DalIes, Oregon, 800 miles, with
one helper and were 80 days on the
way. Speaking of the incident,
Mr.. Bishop said:
1--WE followed the Columbia river
and then crossed over the noun
tains into Boise and from there
followed the foothills and noun
tains until we reached Medicine.
Lodge and then trailed our sheep,
some 1 800 in number, to Bannack.
Later we drove the sheep to Black.
tail and then took them to Birch
creek to winter.
'The weather was ideal, just
about like it is now, only consider
ably warmer. We experienced no
trouble with the sheep and suf-
fered no losses to speak Of"
Mr.. Bishop is now one of the few
remaining pioneers of Beaverhead
county. For years he was engaged
in ranching in the Beaverhead val
ley. Dick Reynolds died several
years ago, but for many years was
one of the leading stoclmen of the
county, interested particularly in
the raising of fine horses.
