Offers REGARD
For Heb

Once again the need for young
ladies to work in the rubber mill
has become SO pressing that a re-
ward of a dollar a head has been
offered by the Employment Office
to any employee bringing an appli-
cant for job. The results of this
effort has been successful thus far
in adding about dozen young lad
les to the factory force.
This increased demand for women
workers has been created by an in
f1ux of business in the Corset de-
partment in the first place and the
large orders for cheap tennis shoes,
already on hand, and greatly in
creased business in light wear and
four buckle CATERS.

MILL ROOM

( Bill Akers, on the tap machine,
startled his fellow workers the other
afternoon by saying, Hurry up, its
quarter of five" After half hours
strenuous work it was found to be
just four o'clock. We suggest
glasses or a self-reading watch if
by this time he is still living.
The other afternoon the elevator
was en- route between the mill room
and fabric cutting room. Mr.. Dough-
ty, the operator, instead of crying
for assistance rose to the occasion
by clambering manfully out of his
trap to the great delight of all
present.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ROAD
Last Section Will Cost About $780,
900 And Will Open New Territory

Pending action through the Cover
nor's Office and the state Judiciary,
concerning the standing of the Sus-
sex county road bonds, work on
fourteen mile stretch of highway in
Sussex county, which is one of the
most important stretches of road that
will be built by the State Highway
Commission this year, will be started
probably this week. This piece of
road is the uncOmpleted part of the
Milford -RehobOth highway, beginning
at the Brick Granary and ending at
Five Points. 1t will complete an i'm
portant thoroughfare for travel in
lower Delaware 1t will cost about
S6OO,OOO. The section will be built
under two contracts. One from the
Brick Granary to NAPLES Mill, the
other from NAPLES Mill to Five Points
Those interested in Sussex roads are
optimistic now that the Highway
Commission has asked Governor Rob-
inson to request an opinion on the
legality of the Sussex bonds from the
judges. They have hopes that in a
month, perhaps not later than SIX
weeks, a reply to Governor Robinson Ms
request might be Forthcoming and
after that, if the law enacted author
izing the issuance of the bonds was
found legal, work could start on some
sections in the fall. How much grOunC
for assurance these citizens have il
expecting such a speedy opinion is no

PEA CANNING IN SUSSEX
Reports Indicate That An Average
Yield Is Being Secured

Reports Indicate That An Average
Yield Is Being Secured
The pea canning factories in Mil
ford commenced operation for the
season last week. Early reports in
dicate the yield so far has been an
average one. The first loads brought
in from the uplands were somewhat
dried out, and the peas were hard. As
they are being taken in from the bay
shore districts, however, the crop
seems to be in better condition. Early
prospects this year were the largest
pea crop in years. The vines made
unusually large growth and stood the
early spring weather in good condi-
ton. The severe hot dry weather OF
ten days ago, however, caused much
concern on the part of the grower:
for a real crop. The threshers at the
factories are now telling the story anC
the next ten days will answer the
question as to Delaware's pea crOI
for this year. SO far the crop saved
has been an average one.

$829,667 Increase in Kent Assessment

SS29,661 Increase IN hent Assessment
At last weeks session of Kent
County Levy Court, an order for $3.50
was drawn in favor of S. Carl Hughes
treasurer of the Kent County Aims
house for running expenses for the
month.
The court ordered a rebate on 1923
and 1924 taxes to Mrs. Sallie T. Turn
er of FELTON,, on a property which has
been assessed to her for the past two
years which she never owned and does
not own at the present time. The
board of assessment presented the
tax duplicate for the ten districts of
the county for 1925, which shows an
increased assessment of $829,667 over
that of 1924.
The court fixed the tax rate the
same as last year, feeling that with
the increased assessment, there would
be no need for increasing the tax
rate.
The taxes will not be due or pay
able until July 1, as the county tan
receiver will have to make up his list
and send notices to all taxables. The
total assessment as made by the
Board of Assessment, for the county
is $28,646,351.

MILFORD VOTES NEW SEWERS
At Special Election Monday Afternoon
Project Received 1913 Majority

PROJECT Received ODD MATURITY
Milford citizens went on record
Monday afternoon as favoring a mod
ern sewerage system for the town,
when they voted for the $4,000 bond
issue with which to complete the
towns sewage system. The majority
for the bond issue was 833 votes. The
total vote at the election was S553.
Of this the vote for the issue was
1898, and the vote against was 1850
The majority of the vote against was
cast by a few of the larger property
holders in Milford, who opposed 1t on
the grounds that the issue would in
crease the tax rate of the town very
materially. This should not be nee
essary if City Council properly handles
the sinking fund for the redemption
of the bonds upon maturity.
The plans for the additional sew
ers in the town were made by Mr.. K
| c. Beckett, Sanitary Engineer Of the
State Board Of Health. His recon-
mendations call for sewers in all part
of Milford. Council proposes, nov
that the issue has been authorized, t
sell the bonds and advertise for bid
for doing the work. The work viii
be done this summer, and all person
residing near a sewer will be mad
to connect with the sewer. In thi
way the sanitary requirements Of tn
State Board of Health will be met
When the new sewer system
completed, Milford will be probabl
better severed than any town in tn
state. Several sections of the tow
> are now thoroughly severed, and tn
! new additions will practically cove
the town. The town Of Newark lead
} the state in the matter of sanitar
sewers; but Milford will be a yer

STRAWBERRIES HIT BY HEAT
Candy Variety, Best Paying Of All,
Cit By Hot Wave

The Candy strawberry, one of the
largest and best paying varieties
grown in lower Delaware, will be cut
short this season by at least one-half,
due to the hot sun and dryness of
the weather. A well-known Seaford
broker said that the Candy berries
were about over after very short
crop. The farmers who have been
fortunate enough to have Candy ber-
ries this season have realized fancy
prices on them. They sold for Sc and
81 per 80 quart crate in the open
market last week. The Candy berry
is also the last to ripen and with the
passing of the crop the strawberry
season in this section will come TO an
end. The season, as a whole,has been
very profitable.
