craze started of equipping cars with

Approach to State Building
At the next meeting of the State
House Commission, a resolution will
be adopted to tear down the property
at 1876 West State street, the resi-
dence of the late Mrs. Henry c.
Moore. The state has come into title
to the property by reason of an agree
ment entered into about two years
ago when the home was purchased
for $4,000. Mrs Moore was given
life tenancy.
Governor Silzer. State Comptroller
Bugbee and State Treasurer Read
are members of the commission which
will undertake the work of demolition.
The razing of the home will afford
better approach from the State House
to the State Office Building on West
State street.
Mrs. Moore was the widow of
Henry O. Moore. president of the
Broad Street Bank Mr.. Moore died
about two and one-half years ago.
The Moore residence was built
more than $50 years ago. Constructed
Of stone, with an interior of French,
Colonial architecture, the home is in
excellent condition today
Under the terms Of the lease en-
tered into between the late Mrs.
Moore and the state, side entrance
has been used by state employees
travelling between the State House
and the State Ofise Building.
1t has been suggested to the COM
mission that the home be preserved
for museum purposes. 1t is known.
however, that the commissioners for
some time have been anxious to have
more appropriate approach to the
State Office Building.
The commission, July 1, will also
acquire by purchase the Green and
Vroom residences to the west of the
State House. The last legislature
voted $4,000 for the purchase OF the
Green home and $50, 900 for the vroom
property. These buildings will be
utilized for a time after July 1 for
State business.
Headquarters of the State Police
may be transferred to the Green
home. Basement rooms under the
State Senate Chamber are now used
by the Troopers for Offices, with Col
onel Schwarzkopf occupying the SEN
ate minority conference n on the
main foC. of the State House.
The Vroom property may be al
lotted to State departments who have
applications for additional rooms pend
ing before the State House Commits
sion
Plenty Seed Oysters
There is much activity at Bivalve,
at Maurice River and Greenwich Piers
preparatory to the opening of the sea-
son for taking seed oysters on the
natural grounds in Delaware Bay.
More than 300 schooners and sloops
are being put into shape for the open
ing day, which occurs Thursday, May
l. The captains are busy hiring crews
and experienced oystermen are arriv-
ing daily from Southern points. The
wages paid to the crews in this re-
gion, it is said, are much higher than
in any other section along the Attain
tic Coast.
The commissioners Of the Maurice
River district believe that the seed
growth this year will be ample for all
the planters to restock their grounds
and that it will not be necessary for
any of the lessees of State grounds to
go to outside waters. The fact that
no heavy storms swept the bay dur
ing the winter is the reason for this
prediction. Since the State has taken
control of the industry and rigidly en-
forced the rough Gull law, many thou
sands of dollars have been saved to
the planters, who in former years pur-
chased seed from Chesapeake Bay
and Long Island.
