of laws, journals, and reports, requir-
ed by law, to be printed or published,
and of all repairs to State property,
and furnishings"
Expected to Effect Great Savings
1t was the intention of the trainers
of the measure to reduce the cost to
the state of purchasing supplies by
centralizing the purchasing power and
obtaining the benefit of lower bids
made on supplies in bulk. 1t is con-
fidently anticipated the state will thus
save many thousands of dollars. In
the hurly-burly which marked the
close Of the General Assembly the
passage and approval by the governor
Of the act was almost unnoticed. Its
sweeping provisions seem to include
every purchase of whatever kind to be
made for the use of any state agency.
New Law Board in Its Powers
1t is believed that the law will re-
quire the board to purchase supplies
for all agencies of every kind which
receive state appropriations. If this
be the case, the following agencies
and perhaps others, will be affected:
Court of Chancery, all other courts,
governors office, Board of Pardons,
Attorney Generals Department, Sec
retary of States office, State Treasur-
er's office, State Auditor of Accounts,
Collector of State Revenue, Insurance
Department, State Tax Department,

affect the institution at StOckley)

tion (Which will affect the supplies fo,

NEW STATE BOARD WILL Do
ALL THE BUYING FOR STATE
BOARD OF SUPPLIES CREATED
BY LEGISLATURE ORGANIZED
Sen. Victor A. Moore is Clerk-POw-
ers Given to New Board Are Great
and RevOlutiOnize Old System


A change in method of purchasing
State supplies that promises to be al
most revolutionary in its effect will
result from passage by the recent
General Assembly of an act providing
for a State Board of Supplies. The
board met Friday in Dover and or
ganized by electing Governor Denney
as chairman and State Senator Victor
A. Moore, of Seaford, as clerk. 1t
was agreed by the members that a
thorough study of a comprehensive
system of purchasing supplies would
be of lasting benefit and decided to
have one made. The board, or COM
mission, is composed of Governor Den
ney, State Treasurer Fouracre, form
er Senator Richard R. Kenney and DR..
James Martin. The first two were
nominated for membership in the act
creating the body and will serve with
out pay. The latter two were ap-
pointed by the Governor. Mr.. Ken
ney is rated among the foremost
lawyers Of the State. DR.. Martin has
a wide circle of acquaintances. Both
are Democrats. Provisions of the bill
under which the commission has been
established are somewhat remarkable.
After setting forth that the Governor
and State Treasurer shall serve as
members without pay, it is stipulated
that the two appOintive members shall
,.oooiHra oO,,oponcofiOp OF tho ,.oto of
$1,000 a year each. Then comes the
following provision: Cali supplies
and printing for the State or any of
ficer, department, board. commission,
bureau, institution, or agency thereof
shall be furnished and performed only
in pursuance of the terms of a writ
ten or printed contract or contracts,
made by the said State Board of State
Supplies, and the person, firm, or cor
pOratiOn contracting for delivering or
doing the same" 1t further is stip-
ulated that the board shall advertise
yearly in at least six newspapers, two
of which shall be in each of the three
counties, for proposals or bids for do
ing and furnishing all State supplies
for the year beginning the first of
July.
Awards to Be Made to Lowest Bidder
Upon receiving and opening the bids
the board is bound to award "the con-
tract or contracts for the doing OF
furnishing of said supplies to the low
est responsible bidder therefore," If
two or more responsible persons, firms
or corporations shall bid an equal
amount, the board may contract with
any one Of Them Advertisements fol
the bids are to be inserted in news
papers during the months of April anC
May. The most sweeping provision OF
the measure, however, is comprised in
Section 5. This reads: "The worc
supplies as used in this chapter shall
be construed to mean and include all
and any article and thing which shall
hereafter be used or furnished to the
State or to any officer, department
board, commission, bureau, institution

MILFORD MAN IN AUTO SMASH

James d. Abbott Has Thrilling EX-
perience, But Escapes Serious Injury
Last week while responding to a call
from the Milford Fire Co., James D.
Abbott, of Milford, a fireman crashed
with his automobile into the building
at the corner of Third and Walnut
streets and badly wrecked his car, but
he and his companion escaped serious
injury. Abbott, who was visiting his
father-in-law, B. F. Davis, a former
member of the Legislature, who re-
sides two miles north of Milford,
heard the call sounded by his fire
company for the forest fire near Ellen
dale. With his brother-in-law, Walter
Davis, he jumped into his automobile
and speeded towards Milford and the
fire house. When passing Third and
Walnut streets two cars meeting him,
blocked the way. He took the chance
of turning the corner instead of col
liding with the approaching machines.
The turn was too sharp and he crash
ed into the home of Clifford Kelley,
situated at the corner. The car was
turned over, the wheels broken and
the top nearly torn off. A window in
the house was smashed and the sill
and shutters broken. Abbott and his
companion were thrown out, but in
some miraculous manner escaped ser
iOus injury.

Walks After Eleven Years

Mrs, H. j. Murray is in receipt
of good news from Los Angeles. It
is that her sister, Miss Margaret
Flahiff, was able a few days ago to
walk few steps. Margaret, it will
be remembered, while here for sever
al months prior to going to Los
Angeles the first of October, could
only get about in a wheel chair,
having no use of her lower limbs,
caused from infantile paralysis when
she was eight years OF age. After
going to Los Angeles two operations
were performed at which six iHcis-
ions were made, one of six inches
in length on each hip TO treat the
bone, and on each knee where the
chord was cut and reduced in length
and one incision on the sole of each
foot. The few steps taken a short
time ago were the first in eleven
years.-Glenns Ferry Gazette.
