WORKMEN RESUME WORK
ON The COMMUNITY BUILDING
Structure VIII Be Closed In Within
Few Weeks If Weather Permits.

After a layoff of several weeks
caused by the severe winter weather
active work on the Community Build
l. ing was started on Monday morning
at which time bricklayers commenc-
ed to lay the remaining sections of
the walls of the building. At the
same time carpenters started build
ing the forms and tieing in the steel
rods to carry the concrete roof of
the building. Unless severe weather
interferes with the work the walls
should be completed next week and
work started on pouring concrete
for the roof. The builder hopes to
have the roof on and the building
completely closed in within
month. The remaining floors will
then be put in. All will be concrete,
and in some sections hardwood floors
will be placed over the concrete.
Just as soon as possible the Car
Isle Fire Company, who owns the
new building, hope to house their
trucks in the truck room of the
building. Work will be rushed rap
idly so that portion of the building
will be ready for use at the earliest
possible moment. 1t will be several
months before the structure is COM
pleted in it's entirety and is ready for
use. The building, when finally COM
Dleted, will be the finest of it's kind

RUMORS SAY THAT DRY
CHIEF WILL RETIRE SOON
Director Elliott Fails To Confirm the
Report, However.

Persistent rumors have been in
circulation for several weeks to the
effect that Robert B. Elliott, Federal
prohibition director for Delaware,
will resign his position in the near
future. Mr.. Elliott was decidedly un-
communicative when asked if it were
true that he intended to resign his
office and if so to resign before
March 4.
When told of renewed reports that
his resignation would be rendered
within a few days, Director Elliott
said:
"Well, of course, I do not intend
to hold on indefinitely"
Then the question direct was put
to him. It was: "Do you intend to
resign before March AZ" To this the
director responded:
$50 far as I know I do not intend
to resign before March A."
Further than this Director Elliott
declined to discuss the situation.
One report is that if Director FL
lott resigns before March 4, George
Ball, present deputy U. S. marshal
and brother of Senator L. HeisIer
Ball, may be named to succeed him.
Friends of State Senator Harry w.
Viven, of Bridgeville, also are urg-
ng him for prohibition director,
should Director Elliott resign.

visited all the old boundary markers
which can be located in Milford

Then they proceeded to view the en-
Iarged districts and tendency Of new
growth about the town. The water
boundary was suggested, but the
majority of the committee seemed to
favor taking over a new line for the
enlargement and so reported to Town
Council. Whatever is decided upon as
to the enlarged boundary, will have
to be surveyed and that survey be
incorporated as part of the act of
legislature. For that reason, it is
necessary that quick work be made
by both Town Council and Surveyor,

FARMERS INTERESTED
NkEARLY TOMATOES
Maryland Farmers Form AssOcia-

The Caroline County Sun in a new
article in its issue of last week said:
Farmers in the vicinity of Ridge
ly plan to take up the growing of
early tomatoes for market and early
canning purposes, on a fairly exten-
s1Ve scale the coming season.
A meeting was called at Ridgely
on Monday County Agent Goodwin
for the purpose of familiarizing the
growers with the project. There
were aout sixty growers present at
the meeting. Speakers from other
sections, where similar projects
have been carried on the past year,
were present and explained what
they had done the past season and
outlined their plans for 1925.
Mr.. Montell, County Agent from
Dorchester county, was the first
speaker on the program. According
to Mr.. Montell the growers of his
county tried raising early canning
tomatoes last year and although
conditions were far from favorale
the growers feel that the venture
was a success. So much so that they
have perfected plans to continue the
work in 1925. Dorchester county will

Mr.. McAvoy remained at Della

seas duty as a first lieutenant. On
his release from military duties he
was appointed as coach at DreXel
Institute where he remained until
he was recalled by Delaware in 1922.
Director McAvoy was not at the
meeting and he has not made known
his plans for the future. In his let
ter of resignation he expressed his
thanks or the cooperation and 10y

alumni. He gave no reason for his
resignation which he asked to take

year,
