TAX DELTNQUENTS
WILL Be ARRESTED
Suits In Kent And Sussex COun.
ties Are To Be Started Within
Week.

Criminal suits throughout Kent
and Sussex counties against tax
ables who have failed to pay their
1926 State School Tax filing fee
will be instituted by the State Tax
Department at once.
Five special constables will be
dispatched by the department to
assist magistrates in the various
towns in lower Delaware in the
serving of warrants upon the delin-
quent taxpayers. The squad of
cOnstables will operate in the coun-
ties from the larger towns in MAX
ing the services, summoning the
delinquent to appear before the
corporal magistrate.
In Kent county operating centers
have been planned at Dover, Smyr-
ma, Frederick, Harrington and Mil
ford.
In Sussex county a squad will
work from Georgetown, Seaford,
Delmar, Bridgeville, SelByville,
Laurel, Millsboro and Lewes.
The basis for settlement before
the delinquent taxpayer comes to
trial before the magistrate will be
the same as offered to the delin-
quent in the cases instituted in
Wilmington and the remainder of
New Castle county. Payment of the
filing fee, with offer in compromise
of not less than $5, the amount of
the income tax due, and the cost of
the case, will be required before
the suit can be withdrawn.
In most cases where the filing
fee only is due, the total amount
necessary before trial is S1O.5O. In
the event the taxable is tried under
Article III. Section %, Paragraph
Z, on the criminal warrant, bail is
required for appearance before
upper court.
Prompt payment at this time may
avoid the institution of the suit,
the Offense was committed
through the failure to file a return
on March Is, 1927.

U.S.EUNCONVTNCED ON
INDIAN RIVER NEEDS
Disregards Recommendation Made
By Col. Brown; Will Consider
Arguments.

Despite the favorable recon-
mendation given by Colonel Earl 1.
Brown, former U. S. Engineer in
charge of the Wilmington District,
the Board of Engineers for Rivers
and HarbOrs at Washington has not
been convinced of the advisability
of spending money for the improve
ment of the Indian River.
The reason set forth is: "The
improvement appears to be chiefly
of local value and for other pur-
poses than navigation"
All parties interested in the pro-
posed improvement are invited to
submit, within a period of 80 days
from the date of this notice, (Octo-
Der 5th,) statements and arguments
bearing upon the necessity for the
Improvement in the interests of
commerce and navigation. Such
statements should be addressed to
The Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors, Room 2713 Munitions
Building, Washington, D. O." Should
hearing be desired, this can be
arranged by correspondence with
the board.
An appropriation for opening the
mouth of Indian river was made by
the state some time ago but was
not sufficient for the work and the
government was appealed to. It is
claimed by the residents in the Sec
ton that cutting the inland water
way from Lewes through Indian
river caused sand to stop the mouth
OF the river and ruin the place for
fishing as well as for navigation. A
number of residents at one time
filled up the canal with sand bags
but were arrested by the govern
ment and released after they had
removed them.

ASK PRIVATE SPEED
LIMITS FOR AUTOS

A move has been started in
Pennsylvania by officials of the
Pennsylvania Motor Fedora
ton to establish an individual
speed limit for each motOrist
instead of a general limit.
Under the plans advanced by
Richard C. Haleman, president
of the federation, upon each
driver when applying for an
operators permit would de-
pend the speed limit which
would be assigned to the driv-
er.
Some drivers think rapid
ly," Haldeman said in explain
ing his plan. Some think Slow
ly. Some do not think at all.
The driver whose mental come
back is speedy may be expect
ed to handle his machine prop
erly in an emergency. That is
not true of the driver whose
mental reaction is slow. There
fore, while the mentally agile
operator may take care of him
self and others at a speed of
80 miles an hour the slow
thinker who travels at that
rate is a menace to everything
on the road"

MILFORD HIGH DROPS
HARD FOUGHT SOCCER GAME
Caesar Rodney High School Record
Winning Point Early In Game

In hard fought and cleanlv
played game, Caesar Rodney High
school soccer team triumphed over
Milford High School by a single
tally-score 10, Tuesday afternoon.
The game was very close through
out, although Caesar Rodney scored
early in the first half BY clever
passing the Caesar Rodney for
wards worked the ball down into
Milford territory and on an at
tempted goal clearance by Jester
the ball struck one of the Caesar
Rodney wings with terrific force.
bounding back through the goal,
just out of reach of Barker, at
goal.
Milford, surprised by the early
score went to work in earnest. The
forwards played Caesar Rodney off
their feet until the end of the half,
but could not score. Several chances
were missed by Over-anxiety and
hurry.
The second half was played
mostly in midfield. There were only
two or three chances for either
school, but neither took advantage
of them. In the last three minutes
of play Milford was awarded a
penalty kick but did not make good.
The attack of both teams seemed
much smoother than the defense.
The entire forward line for Milford
played a whale of a game as did
Thistlewood at halfback. The
team gave a good account of them
selves and should break into the
win column in their next start

HIGHWAY OFFICIALS
TALK CUTOFF ROAD
WITH COMMITTEE
Plans And Aims Of Commission
Explained To Milford Men Who
Are 10 Conference.
VISIT SLAUGHTER BEACH
Impression Left With Committee
Is That A New Road Will Be
Built There In Near Future.

-Four members of the State High
way Commission, together with
Chiet Engineer Buck and his as
slstant Mr.. Mack and other en-
glneers employed by the DEPART
ment, were in Milford Wednesday
Where they conferred with the COM
mlttee of Milford men appointed AFT
a mass meeting to discuss the nro-
posed road cutoff road east of Mil
tord. The members of the commits
sion present at the luncheon at the
New windsor Hotel were Francis
V. du Pont, J. Hall Anderson, Jo-
seph E. Holland and Mr.. Prichett.
member from New Castle County.
The committee of Milford men were
Daniel Hlrsch and l. D. Short, re-
presenting the Town Council, E. H.
Bratten and Louder N. Hearn, re-
presenting the Chamber OF Com
merce, and Vernon Benson who was
chosen by the above named men.
Following the lunch at the hotel the
party went over the proposed route
OF the cutoff. The engineers eX-
planned the reasons for the route,
looking at it from the Highway
Commissions viewpoint. They
listened to suggestions from the
committee and gave them careful
consideration.
While no decision was made, nor
none expected, at the meeting, the
impression left with the committee
of local people was that the cutoff
would not be built in the near fu-
ture. 1t was explained to them that
before any action could be taken
permission would have to be secur-
ed from the federal government to
bridge the Mispillion River, and
that other matters would have to be
taken into consideration. 1t was
further stated that it is not the de-
sire of the Highway Commission to
injure any town, but that it is the
policy of the Commission to build
highways around towns where pos
sible and practical. Assurances
was given the committee that be-
fore any final action is taken in the
matter the citizens of Milford will
be given an opportunity to voice
their sentiments through a referen-
dunn vote.
After looking over the cutoff
survey, the party went to Slaughter
Beach. They were much impressed
with the attractiveness of the place,
with the fine beach and of it's fu-
ture possibilities for development
and growth. The need of new
highway to the resort was apparent
to every person in the party. While
no definite promise was made about
this stretch of road, the impression
was left with the Milford men that
a modern piece of highway will be
laid there within the near future.
The meeting on Wednesday was
pleasing to both, the Milford COM
mittee and the Highway officials,
for a desire to look at the situation
from all sides was apparent.

pleasure for the teachers and peo-
pie of Milford to again meet mutu-

will be packed full of meetings Of
various kinds there will be little
opportunity for any social enter
tainments. However, officials of

we can in various ways extend to
them the hospitality of our town.
Those who really love their home
town will be doubly glad Of this op-
portunity. The mass meetings are
to be held in the Plaza theatre
which will accommodate the entire
group of teachers as well as some
who may be interested in the pro-
ceedings of the deliberations.
Speakers of national repute will
