Davenport applauded with the others. when suddenly it was brought home to him that the speaker was alluding to him Then he started to perspire so that drops of perspira- tion ran efr the end of his nose. How ever. he had Co reply. and he was told afterWard by the judge who made the presentation speech that it was the best acceptance speech he had ever heard
 Mir. Davenport was modest in his remarks about the public work he had done, and gave part of the credit to the help. support and encouragement of his wife and children; also to the sec retary of the Chamber of Commerce, and others.

cantata sung was The Light Eternal

ing. At the Presbyterian church Miss
Flygare directed the singing of
Adams The Angelic Choir for which
Miss Diantha Kuester played the &C

covered. Only four of the thirteen
survived and Mr.. Birkholz is antici-

To have a hen set and hatch chickens
in midwinter, especially in such ex-
tremely cold weather, is very unusual.

Several places between Dover and
kits Hammock were struck during
the same storm. One end of barn
on the Dyer Farm on the Bay road
was struck and caught fire, but the
heavy downpour of rain put the fire
out before much damage was done.
Several trees were struck and blown
over. A part of Dover's electric light
system was put out of commission
during the height of the storm. In
one place on North street the wires
snapped and fell on the roof of a
building owned by J. A.Downes, the

NEW HIGHWAY THRU DOVER
Forty Business Men Volunteer to Cir
culate Petitions for New Highway


The Chamber Of Commerce of Do
yer met in the Council Rooms of the
Robbins Hose Company in Dover, rec
emily, and after the conduct of gem
eral business took up the matter Of
the location Of an additional main
highway through the town.
Chairman Hardesty presided and
secretary Gooden was also in the chair
The attendance was a record one for
the year, practically all Of Dover's
business interests being represented.
The Chamber was unanimous in its
demand that the new highway be run
through the town, west Of Bradford
Street and many speakers stressed
the business advantages to be gained
by same.
A committee Of forty, comprising
the most prominent business men in
the town volunteered to circulate pc.
titions to be signed by the citizens,
requesting the location of the High
way through the town as is the de
sire Of apparently one hundred per-
cent Of the citizens.
The resolutions and caption Of the
petition follows: Resolved, That, the
Chamber Of Commerce Of the Town
Of Dover, this End day of July, "A. d.,
1926, go on record as approving the
draft of petition hereto attached and
unanimously urges both the Highway
Department and the Council of the
Town of Dover to comply with the re-
quests made therein as well as those
made by the petition a year or more
ago upon which the then Town Coun-
Gil and the Highway Department are
understood to have acted favorably.
And be it further Resolved, That, it
is the sense of the said Chamber that
no hoped for change of location of the
present Postoffice be allowed to in any
way influence, delay or interfere with
the immediate building if the high
way located through the town west of
Bradford Street and that it be the
sense of this meeting that if the sac
rifice of either project be necessary,
the Postoffice project be sidetracked
in order to make way for the present
needs of an additional highway thru
the town.
We, the undersigned residents of
Dover, Kent County, Delaware, re-
spectfully petition the State Highway
Department as follows:
First-That as soon as is practi-
cable, another main state highway be
built through the Town of Dover, west
of the present (north and south) high
way on State Street.
Second--That a route through Gov
ernor's Avenue is preferred, but if un-
surmountable obstacles be encounter
ed, then that it be built through some
street within the town limits west of
Governors Avenue.
Third-That we vehemently oppose
the building of another main north
and south artery east of State Street
or outside the Town of Dover, since
we are convinced that to have same
done would seriously injure the town
from business standpoint.
We also petition the Town Council
Of the Town of Dover to cooperate
with the State Highway Department
along the above lines and urge that
the immediate steps necessary be tax
en- to carry forward the project,
whether same be the securing of
rights of way by purchase, condemna-
tion or what not.
