dale to issue bonds to the amount
of seven thousand dollars, subject
to a referendum vote of the people.
The money Cif favorable vote is
cast to be used in the erection of
community hall and fire house COM
bined, also to finance a plan, where
by the town can secure an up to
date service from one of the large
electric light plants, now doing bus
mess in this State.
It will be natural for the taxables
to ask the question, Is the town
large enough to bear such a debt?
and can the interest on the bonds be
met without becoming a heavy bur-
den on the personal and real estate,
situated here? We will answer by
saying that if the parties in power
who will have the distribution of the
money to be raised will eXpend it in
the most economical way to get the
results desired, then the present
rate of taxation will be ample to
Aqke care of the bonds and interest
is they become due.
The most important question which
should occupy the attention of the
voters is, Do we need this contem-
plated improvement, and can the
town go forward in a progressive
way without them?
The most progressive in corpora
ted towns are those which are up
to date in every way. Which are in
a position to offer inducements to
all industries of any kind which may
wish to locate. They have electrical
power, in abundance, WHICH all
small factories now demand. They
have public halls for all gatherings,
and are reaching out in every way
to attract the attention Of the public
TO their particular town and its en-
vironments.
We regret to say that Ellendale
has none of the above facilities to
offer We have no hall, either public
or private, where meetings can be
held. Neither can we offer the cheap
electrical power now in demand. In
fact, anything which we could pos
sibly offer would not meet the wants
of those who should elect to settle
here.
We want the voters to take into
consideration what it would mean to
Ellendale to be able to offer the
inducement enumerated above.
1t would bring more people to
your town. It would give employ
ment at home for those who now
have to seek work elsewhere. New
houses would be built, and in fact,
business of all kinds would improve,
real estate increase in value, which
would more than compensate the
people for any increase in taxes If
any should be made.
Let's move forward and end the
stagnation in business which has
now existed here too long. We now
have the chance to do it. We hope
when the citizens are called upon to
cast their votes they will do so in
a conscientious way, leaving out all
selfish or personal motives whateV-
er. If the people who are mostly in
terested in the proposition to bond
the town, will take in consideration
the welfare of Glendale, and desire
more progressive ideas to prevail,
they will be able to get them only IN
one way and that is to vote in the
affirmative.

The ice and frosts of last and this
week have made our farmers very
uneasy about the condition of the
fruit crop. Some say the first bloom
of the strawberry crop is killed, and
that peaches, pears and apples are
badly hurt. We hope later reports
will be more favorable.
The writer is of the opinion that
Slaughter Beach, if properly devel-
oped could be made one of the finest
resorts on the Delaware Bay. AT
present there are too many owners
which means too many bosses for
; the dear cid place to go forward very
rapidly.
