ROOT, HARTFORD H. s. STAR,
 MAY COME TO LOCAL H. s.
Newington Student and Athlete, as We'll as Others. Affected By
 Tuition Increase.

Donald Root of Newington. one of the foremost football players on the Hartford Public High school team and captain-elect of next years track team. may be forced to quit the Hartford school and enroll in the New Britain Senior High school because of an increase in Hartford's tuition fee from $4 to $9 week.
 The Root family has been giving the matter serious consideration and is holding up on final decision until it sees what the town of New ineton will do. About five or 10 other Newirgton students are affect ed by the increase, it was learned today.
 Root would undoubtedly be the best backfield man Hartford High will have next year and would prob ably hold the same position If he played on the New Britain team. 1.aht Saturday he won the 100 yard dash in the triangular meet between Hartford. New Haven Hillhouse, and New Britain High schools. He made the feature play Of the annual game against New Britain last year when he ran 50 yards through the New Britain team until he was stopped by Captain Timothy Claire who was the last obstacle between him and the goal line.

ers have been men of high integrity.
Sergeant John B. Moore has been ap-
pointed End Lieutenant to fill vacancy
that prevailed. Corporal James G.
Boggs has been raised to Sergeant,

ply Sergeant. Pvts. Grover Bostic,
John Branner, Irving Buckson, and
Clifford Arts have been promoted to

to June 1 this year, there were 1877
cattle tested with 16,457 passing and
1,720 reacting. This is a percentage
Of 9.5 per cent for the State.
In the appropriation made by the
State to recompense the farmer for
cattle condemned as unfit, the farmer
receives from the State one-half and
from the government one-third of the
estimated value of the animal, minus
the salvage on it. By salvage is meant
that portion of the caress that is not
tainted and which can be sold for con-
sumption.
The reason New Castle county
shows such high percentage of re-
actors is due to two reasons. One of
these is that the Inauguration of the
cattle testing was pushed more vigor-
ously in lower Delaware than in New
Castle. The other reason is because
Of the opposition from some sections
in New Castle county to the cattle Le-
ing tested.

BARN AND CONTENTS BURN
William Priestly of SeafOrd, Suffered
$4,000 Loss; Similar Fire Year Ago

Fire of a mysterious origin destroy
ed new barn, garage and all the out
buildings late Wednesday afternoon
or the farm of William Priestly, at
Cannon, five miles from Seaford. Fire
companies from Seaford and Bridge
vile were summoned. and, although
handicapped by lack of water, saved
the dwelling despite stiff wind. An
automobile, a large quantity of hay
and corn and much farm machinery
were destroyed. Priestly was working
in a nearby field at the time of the
blaze, but his wife and children were
at home. The loss will reach $4,000,
partly covered by insurance. A year
ago Priestly's home, barn and out
buildings were dstroyed by fire in
like manner, each fire originating in
the barn.

BAY RIDGE Inn
IMPROVED

A. s. H. Burgess, of Washington,
through the office of William H.
Lanham, has just purchased the Bay
Ridge Inn at Bay Ridge, Md.
Bay Ridge Inn was built in the
spring Of 1925 by A. 2. Wilson 1t
contains 20 rooms on the second and
third floors, is modern throughout
with large dining room overlooking
Chesapeake Bay.
One of the finest beaches on the
Ray stretches along the front Of the
hotel with bath house facilities for
several thousand people.
Mr.. Burgess will manage Bay Ridge
Inn this season and will inaugurate
a short order service in the dining
room in addition to the regular
meals.
Bay Ridge is one of the most popn-
lar summer home colonies on Chesa-
peake Bay now having IS modern
summer homes, most OF which were
built by Washington people.
New houses are now under con.
struction for w. Clarence Miller, w.
B. Putnam, c. v. Hodgson. w. c.
Snow, August Helm and Cloyd Tav-
enner.
Many others who purchased lots
az Bay Ridge last season have their
plans under preparation and about
% other houses are expected to he
under construction within the next
SO days.
Mr.. Lanham. who has handled Bay
Ridge property since it was first
placed on the market. states that the
buying activity has started mn IN
earlier this year than ever before, he
having, made a number Of sales this
month.
This he attributes partly to the
open weather of the past few weeks,
but more to the Defense Highway
having been opened, which has cut
the distance to Bay Ridge from Al
miles to 81 miles or about an hours
drive, over new concrete road the
entire distance.
