KENT COUNTY LEVY COURT HAD
MUCH BUSINESS BEFORE It
DELEGATION ASKS ATTENTION
TO MAGNOLIA-VIOLA ROAD
NJ. V. Ford and w. S. Hardcastle of
Board of POOre Invites Levy Court
To Visit AlmshOuse-NOtes

A delegation of Magnolia residents
appeared before the Kent County Levy
Court at its meeting last week and re-
quested that the road from Magnolia
to Viola be improved. AS this road
will be listed for permanent improve
ment next year, the Court was not
anxious to spend very much money on
it in temporary repairs. There SEEM
ed to be some question regarding the
use of a bridge over a mill pond along
the road and the Court withheld furth
er action on the matter until the
County Engineer has had an OppOrtun-
ity to examine the bridge in question.
Matthew V. Ford and w. S. Hard
castle, members of the Board of Poor
Directors, appeared before the Court
and requested that sewer system be
installed at the Kent County Aims
house and also invited the Court to
visit the county farm which is located
near Wyoming, on Wednesday for an
inspection tour. The invitation was
accepted by the Court and they will
look into the sewer situation while at
the farm.
S. Carl Hughes, treasurer of the
Board of Poor Directors was allowed
$500 for use of the county almshOuse.
County Engineer T. Marvel Gooden
was authorized to purchase five car
loads of Stag to be placed on the road
| from Dover to HazelettVille.
President Sheldrake of the Court
was authorized to confer with the
State Highway Department regarding
the appropriation for roads in order
to ascertain whether the appropria-
ton is ready and the amount of it.
He will report back to a future meet
ing of the Court.
The Register of Wills and Register
in Chancery were each allowed $50
per month for extra clerical assistance
starting with May first. The Receiv-
er of Taxes was allowed S35 pei

The County Engineer was instruct
ed to build a concrete bridge ovel
Tapahanna ditch in the Fourth Dis
trict near Marydel.
! Receipts totaling S2,4O1.34 for the
month of April were reported to the
Levy Court at their regular meeting

iOus County Officers. The transaction
of routine business made the session
a busy one for the Commissioners

The Sunday School Board of the
Wilmington NJ. E. Conference met at
Wesley NJ. E. Church, Dover, Wednes-

Elmer Perry, Wilmington, vice-presi-
dent; Rev. r. P. Nichols, Smyrna, sec

meeting the district superintendent

same waters were visited and practi-
cally the same conditions were found. i
The prophecy has been fulfilled; the i
shad are gone, so far as any further /
is concerned. The fisher
men and their outfits are ready at the
upper end of the bay, but they are
waiting with listless hearts. The sea-
son is half past, and as yet the catch
of 1928 has not been remuneratlve
enough to pay for the paint on the
boats. "Let them CO." a man OF 5O
years experience said Thursday. i
am through fishing and through talk
ing. Now that it is too late, there
will be committees galore appointed
to draft new laws and more foolish
ness. They have killed the goose and
there will be no more eggs" Ihls
hard-luck story is but the echo OF
dozen others, who know the sign.
Capt. Phil. Spencer, a man who fishes
moving net and lives right with the
spawning fish, said, two years ago
that the spawn of that year was as
nothing. As the shad do not return to
the place of birth for two years he
saw that this years catch would not
be worth while. Then last year, while
the fish were trapped down in the
lower bay by wire netting, ETC., so that
the Baltimore and Philadelphia mar
kets were glutted, scarcely mother
fish reached the spawning ground. In
1880 at Port Deposit and Havre de
Grace 10000 shad were caught and
the workingman procured his nice roe
shad for Friday for 35, or his buck
shad for 25 cents, or less. In 1900
at Port Deposit the catch was about
1900 and prices were rs cents and So
cents; 20 years later the catch will be
less than 100, probably, and the price
is we'll prohibitive to any but the mar
of wealth. Again, when asked what
of the future, Captain Spencer said
"There is no future; the end is here.

MARKING CENTER OF ROAD
Placing Driving Mark As a Try Out
in Center of Concrete Highways

Employees last Wednesday started
the work of painting the black stripe
OF marker upon the center of the
State highways in order to assist mo-
tOrists in keeping upon the right side
of the road. The work Wednesday
was started on the DUPONT Boulevard
south from COoper's corner below Do
yer. In commenting upon the work,
|. Paul Jones stated that the use of
the marker was given a trial last year
and thus far the Department has re-
ceived no complaints about its pres
ence but a number of requests have
come in for a continuation of the
work. Two cOlors of paint were used
last year, black and white. The white
did not hold up as we'll as the black
and will be eliminated this year. The
material used Wednesday was the
same as is used in repairing cracks
in the road. 1t will be given a tria
to ascertain if it has better wearing
qualities than the regular paint. 1t i;
very much cheaper than the cost Of
regular paint. Yellow paint will alst
be given a trial by the department
this year and if it proves satisfactory
it will also be used on the State roads
The present plans of the Department
provides for the marking of the mail
State roads running north and soutl
first, after these are completed, at
tention will be given to the countr
roads running east and west.

sHAD GONE, FISHERMEN SAY
Total Catch in Upper Chesapeake
Wont Pay for Painting Boats

Two weeks ago the fishing season
opened at Port Deposit, the spawning
grounds Of the Chesapeake Bay shad.
On that day, April 16, the hauling
seines were put into operation-two of
them. All day long they were drag
ged around the Susquehanna river.
Six hauls were made, meaning that
six miles of net were spread. The to-
tai catch for that day amounted to
80 pounds Of shad. Off Spesutia
Island the catch was not sufficient to
feed the families of the fishermen.
North East river and Elk river re-
ported the same story. At Betterton,
in three days the catch for that whole
bevy Of deep-water fishermen, who
allow their nets to drift from the start
of ebb tide until the flow has changed
was less than 400 shad. Monday the

experts wer eselected from that
great body and taken to a nearhv
lake with two pint bottles of the
recipe for a demonstration. A <
gallon milk can was rinsed clean
in sight of all; then five gallons
of lake water was measured into
tn can and one Of the pint bottles
emptied into the water. Immed-
lately a perfect bead" formed on
five gallons of the best whiskev
ever tasted in Wisconsin, and the
odor was something wonderful.
During this demonstration. and
especially after the brew had dis
appeared, the other pint bottle
was broken by some boisterous
person on large green birch
stump. With this there arose a
perfume beyond description; the
bouquet" was a perfect one and
during the celebration the nectar
was named Wisconsin Lake Re-
gion Champaign" 1t was reported
that "hippers" were secured by
those present, and from reports
the convention broke up with one
of the biggest hip-hip-hurrahs
ever touched off in Northern Wis
consin.
Nothing more was thought of
the birch stump until last week
when couple Lumberjacks from
Bundy were walking past the con-
vention grounds. They were at
tracted by peculiar perfume, and
finally locating it, decided to camp
for the night by the side of the
stump. When the stump started
burning they noticed blue flame
shoot up from the stump, and as
the flames increased, so did the
odor.
Upon their arrival in Rhinelan-
der the next morning they made
all this known to a resident, who
at once organized a company for
the manufacture of Paul Bunyan's
famous brew. 1t is said that this
will be the means of placing
Rhinelander on the map and evil

charged with another crime. Why
pick on him?

JUST FISH STORIES

Al Lucia put one over on the
bunch this week when he placed
a 2O12 pound lake trout in DISPLAY
at Larry's Electric Shop, claim
ing 1t was caught Sunday out of
Silver lake furninst the village.
HIS getting away with the Joke
when he said Silver lake. was
not unbelievable, for the reason
that years ago many cans of lake
trout fry were placed in this lake
lying in the village confines, and
there might have been such a
fact that the fry had matured in
to big guys during that time.
Seems as though Al on a trip UP
to Superior waters, gobbled the
big boy from a fisherman along
the lake shore and came down
with the intention of putting it
all over the natives. He did.
Fishing is said to- be extra fine
these balmy fall days. The big
fellows are taking the lure with
a vengeance, and while we hear of
bully good catches being made
among the game fins, still the
really big fish has not shown up
for display. A dead fish is a dead
fish, but one that is dead and put
on display, is far from being a
dead one. Get that?
Through the closing of the
trout season, the closing of the
grouse and partridge seasons, and
the ducks being too lazy to fly
what is the poor bird of a sport
going to do? Muskellunge and
pike can be taken until the deer
season opens November 18th.
