REAL ESTATE DEALS IN KENT
COIINTV

1t became definitely known when
the deed was recorder last week at
Chestertown, Md, that William H.
Brown, of Baltimore, had sold to
Harry M. Pierce and William j. Ma
loney, of Wilmington, the Gresham
Hall farm of 439 acres adjoining
Colchester Beach. While the price
in the deed is given as "$5 and other
considerations" it is reported that
the consideration was $4,000.
This acquisition gives to the Will
mington interests, of which Mr.
Pierce is one of the leaders, practlc
ally 1900 acres of land along the
Chesapeake Bay, which will shortly
be developed into one OF the finest
sumTer co'onies south d Atlantic
City and represents an outlay OF
$190,000. At the time the sale of
Gresham Hall was reported it was
announced upon reliable authority
that the Kent county end OF the pro-
posed Chesapeake Bay bridge will be
just above the COLCHESTER pier on the
farm purchased by former Lieuten-
ant-Governor Mendinhall, OF Della
ware, for $45,000,
Another important sale in the up
per section of Kent county in the vi
cinity of Turner's creek. near Bet
terton, was when William R. Price
sold his farm of 800 acres to Morris
L. Clothier, of Philadelphia, for
$4,000.
The Price farm adjoins three
other tracts recently purchased by
Mr.. Clothier, who is developing
them into one of the finest country
estates on the peninsula and which
is expected to become one OF the
slow places OF the country.

NEW LAW MAKES SPEED LIMIT
FORTY MILES

The new Motor Vehicle Law,
which became effective June 1,
makes the speed limit 40 miles an
hour.
Other changes are speed limit of
20 miles in cities and towns and rs
in outlying sections; maximum
speed of rs miles for solid tire We
hicles, on State roads; next years
license plates to be displayed as
early as December Is, and half
charge for plates obtained after July
81.
The law also provides that all au-
tomobiles must treat school buses
just as street cars are treated in the
cities; it will be required under the
new law, that automobiles must stop
five feet in the rear of the school
conveyances while the latter are
stopped to take on or discharge
scholars enroute to or returning
from the schools.
Interesting also to the ordinary
driver of pleasure cars as well as to
the bus and truck owners, is the fact
that the Legislature decided to alv
low an extra three inches of width
to busses and trucks, as well as to
increase the maximum legal weight
from 10000 to $4,000 pounds.
Thus the buses and trucks be-
come wider and heavier, and there
fore, of more interest to the drivers
of pleasure cars which pass or are
passed by them on the highways.

SOUTHERN RADIO BAN
DENIED BY BULLARD
Chairman of Commission Answers
Complaint of Alleged
Discrimination.
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCldtSd TIcSs'
Complaints that the South as
whole has been Disseminated against
with reference to radio broadcastinG
were met yesterday by an open letter
of denial from Chairman Billiard OF
the Federal Radio Commission. 1t Is
a fact that comparatively few radio
stations are now located in Southern
territory, the chairman said, but the
reason for it he attributed to the lack
Of interest among Southerners con-
corning the establishment of stations.
1T must be apparent that the num-
Der of stations existing when the com
mission came into existence was
matter which could not be controlled
in any manner whatsoever, the letter
said. The Radio Commission is not in
any manner acting against the inter
ests of any Southern States in their
desire to have broadcasting stations
and the commission cannot accept the
statement that the South is being
badly treated by the Radio Commits
sion. Only last week permits were
granted to at least eight new broad
casting stations in the Southern States
and not one in the North.
"It is a fact that the Southern
States are not particularly we'll rep
resented in the broadcasting field. but
it is also a fact that the commission
cannot be held responsible for this
state of affairs, because if the people
of the South do not want broadcast
ing stations and do not make applica
ton for them, the commission cannot
take any action whatsoever"
