DELAWARE SENATE PRAISED
IN MATTER OF FERRY PROJECT
SEA ISLE CITY CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE FAVORS PLAN
Cape May-Lewes Ferry Would Not
Only Help Jersey Resorts But Re
hObOth as Well-S5O.OOO Wanted

The Senate Wednesday received
from the Cape May County Chamber
OF Commerce Of Sea Isle City, y. J..
resolution praising the steps this
State has taken to make a reality.
the proposed Cape May-Lewes ferry
project. The resolution requests the
Delaware Legislature to provide bv
an appropriation, a sufficient sum Of
money for landing in Delaware for
the ferry boats. The Legislature two
years ago authorized an appropriation
Of $4,000 for this project, but owing
to hitch in the New JERSEY promo
ters securing a promised appropria-
ton to match that of Delaware, the
Delaware appropriation went by de-
fault. A renewal of this appropria-
ton with an additional $4,000 is be-
ing asked for. 1t is claimed this
would be of great benefit to Rehoboth
the only coast summer resort in Del
aware, and would be the logical con-
Meeting ling between the States high
way and New Jersey summer resorts.
The Senate Thursday afternoon
passed Senator Viven's bill which
would require property owners bene-
fitted thereby, to pay their proper
tional share Of the cost of draining
marsh lands in Sussex county, and
providing for the issuance of bonds
for the care and maintenance Of the
necessary drainage facilities. A COM
municatiOn was read in the Senate
from H. w. Stark, Major C. A. c., to
Governor Denney, apprising the gov
ernor that he had been transferred to
foreign service in Hawaii by the War
Department, and suggesting the State
providing a suitable armory in Will
mington for the benefit Of the Nation
al Guard of Delaware. A bill to au-
thorize an appropriation for this pur-
pose has been introduced in the Cen
eral Assembly.

500 HIGH SCHOOL BOYS APPEAL
Ask Legislature to Continue ApprO-
priatiOn for Teaching Agriculture

Ask Legislature to Continue ApprO-
priatiOn for Teaching Agriculture
The dominant question before the
members of the General Assembly
that of providing sufficient revenue to
maintain the public schools of the
State in an efficient and economical
manner-again occupied a large part
of the time of the Legislators, Friday.
One of the most forceful arguments
yet presented to the Assembly for the
continuance of the present school sys-
tenn was the visit of nearly five hun
dred boys from about sixteen high
schools in all three counties, accom-
panied by parents, to the Legislature
Friday morning, to ask that the ap-
preparation for the teaching of agri-
culture in the schools be continued for
the next two years.
The delegation was in charge of L.
I. Armstrong, supervisor of agricul-
ture. They came afoot, by automo-
bile and by train, and almost blocked
the corridors Of the State House until
a hearing was granted them at
O'Clock in the afternoon in the House
chamber, before the joint education
committee of the Senate and House.
The boys in the group are all tax
ing the agricultural course in the high
schools, and each wore a badge in
scribed with the words: 1--WE want
agriculture taught in the high
schools" Many of the parents are
farmers, who were loud in their praise
Of the benefits their boys were deriv-
ing from the agricultural instruction
in the schools.
A number of the boys spoke in en-
thusiaStic terms of their desire to
have the course continued. Practi-
cally all of them, during an informal
meeting in the State House corridor,
declared there was very little senti-
ment in their districts against the ex-
listing school law and the proposed
amendments to it. Most of the people
in their districts, they said, were op-
posed to Representative Gray's bill to
repeal the present school law and re-
vert to the school law as it was in
April, 1919, before the school code
was enacted.

and a one-room colored school at Iron
Hill, this county. At Smyrna, a
handsome twelve-room school for
white pupils is being erected by A. l..
Hudson, of this town. This brilding
will cost $147,OOO and will not be COM
pleted until next fall. Total cost of
the colored schools is $1,O27, ,479.48.
That Of the white schools is $685.

Smyrna school. In addition the School
Auxiliary has improved the Woman's

of the State school authorities. Many
have been presented to the State
Board of Education; others to special
school districts. Two additional col
ored schools, each one-room struc-
tures, one at White Oak and the other
at PetersOn's, Kent county, and both
for colored pupils, are nearly finished.
A third school, at Harrington, also
Kent county, with three rooms for
colored pupils, will be ready in two
weeks. Work is going ahead on a

Chestertown, Md, now owned by J.
Edward Hurlock and tenated by
Thomas Quinn, Jr,, were totally de-
stroyed by fire of an unknown origin
Friday. The fire started in the dwell
ling supposedly from a defective flue,
and before assistance arrived the
blaze had spread to Outbuildings.
Nothing of any value saved by Mr..
Quinn, but the stock was gotten out
of the barns before they caught fire.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000, with partial insurance.

DOVER TO BORROW MONEY
Bill Passed by Senate Provide for
Bond Issue Up to $35,OOO.OO


Bond Issue Up to S35,OOO.OO
That the town of Dover may bor-
row $4,000 through bond issues to
complete the payment of the altera-
tions and improvements at the water
and light plant is forecasted as a re-
suit of the possage in the Senate of a
bill authorizing the bond issue. The
bill introduced by Senator Hardesty
authorizing Dover to issue bonds up
to $500 was passed without oppoSi-
ton. Two years ago the Legislature
passed an act empowering Dover to
issue bonds up to $4,000 to enlarge
the water works of the town and to
improve the water system. This sum
proved inadequate for the pusposes
for which it was intended as $4,000
additional was tequired to complete
the improvements and extensions that
were made. This new bill is to give
the town the authority to secure
new loan to meet this additional cost.
While the bill must pass the House
before it can become operative, it is
believed that it will pass the lower
body as easily as it did the Senate.
