DELAWARE EXPENSES DOUBLE
Data Supplied BY United States Gen.
sus Bureau Shows That Delaware
Adds To Its Indebtedness

Accountants of the United States
Census Bureau figure that the per
capita cost of the government of Del
aware in the fiscal year 1926 was
greater than it was in the fiscal year
1925. In comparison with the aver
age per capita costs of all the forty
eight states the Delaware cost was
very much higher-more than double
the average, in fact.
Financial statistics of state govern
ments for 1926 are embraced in a
pamphlet publication just released by
the Commerce Department under
which the Census Bureau operates.
Operation and maintenance of the
general departments of the state gov
ernment of Delaware in the fiscal year
1926, plus interest on the public debt,
cost S19.96 per capita, which compares
with $18.75 in 1925. The average per
capita cost for all the states was So
~. Two states had a higher per cap
ita cost than Delaware. These were
Nevada, $27.22 per capita, and North
Dakota, $23.14 percapita. South Da-
kota, with a per capita cost of $3.50,
and Wyoming, with $18.73, were other
states whose per capita approximated
that Of Delaware 1t is apparent
from study of the cost of government
in the respective states that costs are
relatively high in some of the smaller
or sparsely settled states.
Operation, maintenance and inter
est of the state government of Della
ware in the fiscal year 1926 cost the
taxpayers $4,771,Q0O. Operation and
maintenance cost $4,371 900 and in
terest 100000. Delaware was one of
"a states which added to its debt in
1926. Her debt increase was $685.
600 net, according to the bureaus
figures. Census accounts, in follow
ing standardized form, segregate
outlays for permanent improvements
from all other items or cost. Della
ware expended $2,67O,OOO in such out
lays. Adding together, the totals for
operation, maintenance, interest and
outlays for permanent improvements
give $7,441,0 900 as the total spent by

Monday evening there was parade
of firemen at Centreville nine miles
away in connection with a carniva
the volunteers of that town were hold
ing. Word of the Church Hill blaze
was received while this parade was il
progress. There were fourteen fire
companies in the line Of march and Of
them the volunteers from Chester
town, Centreville, Stillpond, Hurlock
Millington, Easton, Hartly, Cordova
and one or two other places left the
line of march and speeded to Church
Hill. They laid lines of hose from
the Church Hill mill stream and had
an ample supply of water.
The volunteers were handicapped in
their work by several explosions as
the flames reached the gasoline stored
in the garage. There was one ter
rife blaze Immediately following
which the flames shot high into the
heavens and illuminated the country
for nore than mile. This spreading
of the burning fluid helped spread the
fire through the neighborhood.
In addition to the Massey garage
the buildings on Main street which
were burned were DR.. Dudley's home
and garage, Mr.. Walls home, the
town hall and the bank building, the
latter standing at the corner of Main
Dba eff &c h,.
Catlin, the barber shop of Mr.. God
win and the Walls store and ware
house and the Anderson store were on
Walnut street.
The officials of the bank said this
morning they would open temporary
offices elsewhere to carry on .heir
book business and that their cash
business would be cared for by the
banks in Chestertown. Church Hill is
six miles from Chestertown and nine
miles from Centreville, being between
the two towns.
When the Chestertown firemen left
the Centreville parade to respond to
the call for help they had only their
engine. Their supply truck was in
Chestertown. They sent word to their
home town and the truck was manned
and hurried to Church Hill. To meet
the engine the truck had to be driven
right through the main street which
at that time was furnace, filled with
smoke and flames. To protect the
iremen on the truck other companies
played streams Of water on them as
they sped along and none was burned.
Business of the bank was conducted
temporarily the next day in a pool
room on the other side of the street.

GASSAWAY HEADS NEW BOARD
Made Chairman of Del-Mar-Va Or
ganizatiOn Service Bureau

Gerrish Gassaway, manager of the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce,
was elected Wednesday afternoon at
meeting in Salisbury, to head the
Organization Service Bureau, which
has been formed to replace the Re-
search Department of the Del-Mar-Va
Eastern Shore Association. Mr.. Gas
saway, who is a director of the latter
organization, has had much success in
the past in handling organization
movements. This, coupled with his
varied experience, led the hundred or
more presidents, secretaries and rep
.resentatives of boards Of trade, Cham
bers of Commerce and civic organiza-
tions on the Del-Mar-Va- peninsula
who attended the meeting, to select
him to head the new organization. The
Organization Service Bureau has been
formed to promote the general well
fare of all civic and commercial or
ganizations on the peninsula as well
as to aid communities as yet without
organizations Of this kind. 1t is a
progressive development of the work
of the old association. The meeting
also adopted the reports of the con-
stitution, bylaws and program COM
mittees. DR.. A. S. Williams, of
Laurel, was elected vice-chairman of
the new bureau. Carl Monsees, of
Salisbury, former director of the Re-
search Department of the old associa-
tion was elected secretary and Milford
Nathan, Cambridge, Nd, treasurer.

STORES AND HOMES BURNED
WRECKAGE is FIGURED TOTAL
LOSS OF 100000 IN PROPERTY
Blaze Started Monday Night in Gar
age and Spread Rapidly-LOcal
Firemen Attending Carnival

Fire broke out Monday night, July
Is, over at Church Hill, Md, about
twenty miles from Smyrna and be-
fore it was gotten under control had
wrecked about 100000 worth of prop
erty. The blaze started about $50
o'clock, in the rear Of Henry D. Mas
sey's garage, on Main street, right in
the heart of the business section of
town, and before the flames had been
subdued, several stores, homes and a
bank had been wiped out, entailing a
loss that will amount to about $780,
900. The blaze was the worst that
has ever occurred here. Last Janu-
airy, flames swept through Church
Hill, leaving much ruin in their wake
and that town had hardly recovered
from that blow. This second confa-
grafton is the most serious setback
the business and commercial interests
there have ever experienced.
Standing amid the ruins is the fire
proof vault of the Church Hill Bank
of Maryland, the building Of which
was completely destroyed. In the
vault are the books and all the cash
the bank had on hand. Wednesday
morning, the metal parts were to hot
to permit workmen to attempt to open
the vault, but the officials are hopeful
their records and the money will be
found intact. The exact amount of
cash on hand at the closing hour Tues
day is not known, but is thought to be
about $4,000.
One remarkable fact is that no one
was hurt or burned during the blaze.
Only the heroic efforts of volunteers
from many nearby towns prevented
the fire from wiping out the whole
place. They worked until 5 o'clock
Wednesday morning before it was as
sured there was no further danger of
the fire spreading.
The exact cause of the outbreak is
not known. The fire was discovered
in pile Of rubbish at the rear Of the
garage of Harry Massey on Main
street. The flames spread rapidly and
soon the entire building was envelop-
ed. Massey made his home in apart
ments above the garage. The build
ing was destroyed together with all
the contents and Massey's loss will be
heavy.
The fire spread both ways along
Main street and before it had been
extinguished the following properties
were destroyed.
Garage and apartment above Of
Harry d. Massey.

HERRING BUSINESS Is
 BETTER THIS SEASON

The herring business in Prince William Sound this year is much bet ter than last year and the fish are much better in quality as we'll as fat ter. Better prices also prevail this season, stated w. J.

Thus far week has been lost owing to fog and wind. This oc- cured last week. MT. Imlach said the only thing which will defeat the herring packing industry this year may be the weather, for if the weath- CT is bad they can not fish. MT.

MURDER-MYsTERY DRAMA
 OPENS AT THE LIBERTY

Based upon the law that every man is innocent until proven guilty The Blind Goddess" opening to- night at the Liberty theatre, brings to the screen heart-gripping drama, which love and duty. and murder mystery are some of the complex ele- Iments.
 The story, directed by Victor F;em- ing, is based on the Arthur Train novel of the same name. Matching the plot in strength and power is the formidable cast Director Fleming has assembled, featuring a quartet of stellar players-Jack Holt, Esther Ralston, Ernst Terrence and Louise Dresser.
 The action of the story, which is laid in New York, opens in the so- |ciety atmosphere of smart Fifth Aev- nue, but soon switches to the sombre background of the criminal courts, where the dramatic events reach a sensational climax in a murder trial of gripping intensity.
