BRIDGE CLEARANCE
DEFINITELY FIXED
At Fridays Hearing Com
missioner BabcOck Grants
Sank Centre Request
COMMITTEE IS ELATED
Clearance Will Be Five Feet
With IL Foot Lake Level
at the Dam

The clearance under the bridg,
across the Narrows at Sank Lake
has been definitely fixed.
With the lake level maintained
at II foot at the dam the, clear.
ance will be five foot at the bridge
This was the: footage asked for by
the Highway Committee of the
Community Club.
Herald readers will recall that &
letter published last week from
Mr.. Hoffman, bridge engineer oil
the department, stated that the
maximum which could be provided
since the grading was completed
and the contract for the bridge hac
been let, would be Az with II.
foot level.
After receiving the letter Mr.
Wallace got in telephone com.
munication with Commissioner
Babcock and arranged for a hear.
ing at the Highway department
st. Paul, Friday morning at 11:0C
o'clock. Accompanying Mr.. Wal.
lace at the hearing were: Johr
McGibbon, Ben Dubois, Ed. l..
Rattle, j. A. and Valerian Schoen.
hoff, P. B. Hanson, M. A. Nye
Alderman G.. D. Cass, and Coun.
ty Commissioner Ferd Borgmann
The delegation was turned over
to Mr.. Hoffman. He treated the
visitors very courteously. After
the matter had been thoroughly ex-
planned to him, it was evident that
the department was under a mis-.
apprehension as to the actual lake
level, assuming that the 11-foot
head was the '.high" mark instead
of the normal head maintained
since the city purchased the dam.
Attention was called to the
strong probability of the City
erecting new dam for the pur.
pose of maintaining the maximum
head of II feet as allowed by the
government grant; that four-foot
clearance would not allow a fair
sized motor boat with a cab to
pass under the bridge from the
head of the lake, and would de-
feat the very purpose for which
the city purchased the dam, that of
developing the lake for summer
homes.
Mr.. Hoffman held a short con-
ference with Mr.. Babcock and
when he returned the Commits
sioner was with him. After a
short interchange of ideas Mr..
Babcock gave Mr.. Hoffman a
verbal order to see that the nee
essary changes were made to
grant the request of the City OF
Sank Centre made the delegation
It is understood that the engi-
neers in charge of the work re-
ceived orders at once to make the
necessary changes to raise the
bridge for the five foot clearance.
The change will cost the de-
partment some money, but the rea-
sonableness of the request was ap-
parent.
Sank Centre citizens have had
much to do with the State High
way department in the past few
years. They have found Mr.
Babcock DESTROYS of acceding to the
requests of community when no
unreasonable demands were made.
This city has never made any un-
reasonable requests and in every
instance Mr.. Babcock has COM
piled with them.
Sank Centre people feel very
kindly, and justly so, to Commits
sioner Babcock, and it is not too
much to presume, because Of their
experience with him, they are
back of his entire program, hav-
ing implicit confidence in. his good
judgment and integrity.

partment was called to the Fred
Crippen home on Elm street to ex-
tinguish roof blaze caused by
flying sparks from the chimney
Before the blaze was discovered il
had gained Roadway enough to
burn hole about two feet square
and several other smaller holes in
the roof. Most of the damage in
the interior of the house was caus-
ed by smoke. The loss incurred is
estimated at about 5000.

that the border line between United
States and the Dominion Of Canada
remains unprotected throughout its
three thousand and more miles. Along
the entire distance not a fortification
or sign of military defense can be
seen. Were the other nations Of the
world willing to throw aside their
fears and hatreds of one another,
then the true Christmas spirit would
prevail everywhere, "Peace on earth,
Good Will towards men" When this
becomes a fact and not one of the i'm
portant goals for which every Rotary
Club in the World is striving for,
then the ideals and dreams Of Rotary
will be realized. The program for
Thursday evening, December 20th,will
be given by Howard T. Ennis, super

2 SETS BROTHERS IN ASSEMBLY
Harry NJ. and w. F. Deputy in Senate
and Carl and Elijah Hughes in House

marry WI. anu W. II. deputy In senate
and Carl and Elijah Hughes in House
A situation most unique in Legisla-
tive circles will prevail during the
coming session Of the Delaware Leg
islature January 1st, when there will
be two sets of brothers serving as
members Of that body. One set Of
brothers will be in the Senate and the
other will be in the House. Both
groups are Democrats. In the Senate
will be Senator Harry NJ. Deputy, Of
Milford and Senator William F. Dep
uty, Of Laurel, both hold over mem
bers from the previous session. III
the House will be Representative S.
Carl Hughes, SRI, from the Sixth Dis
trict Of Kent County, who resides
about three miles West Of FELTON,, and
Representative Elijah S. Hughes, Eel
ton, who will represent the Eighth
District Of Kent county. It is a very
unusual occurrence to have one set of
brothers to serve in a session of the
Legislature but when the family
groups are extended to include an
other set Of brothers, il is thought
that it will establish record that has
been unequalled in any other State.
In this instance the brothers come
from the same county, are in the
same branch Of the Legislature and
are affiliated with the same political
party.

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
Charles T. Puff,Jr., Of Jenkintown, Pa,
Was the Speaker Of the Evening

At the meeting last week of the
Smyrna Rotary Club, Charles r. Puff,
Jr., Of Jenkintown, Pa, was the
speaker of the evening. He spoke on
the sixth object Of Rotary, namely,
"The Advancement IF Understanding,
good-wi and International peace
through a world fellowship Of bust
ness and professional men united in
the ideal of service" There is no
doubt, that until just such a relation
ship between men, and the different
countries Of the world can be estab-
lished, as outlined in the sixth object
Of Rotary, we shall continue to find
causes for war. Practically every
war as recorded in history, from the
earliest time of man, until the pres
ent day, has been caused by selfish
greed Of the individual, country or
nation, forcefully attempting to OBJ
tain wealth in some form or another,
whether it be concessions, valuable
lands, or important waterways. Few
nations Of the world have confidence
in their neighbor and as a result,
large standing armies are deemed adj
visable; to be supported at the ex-
pense of the common people, who in
turn seldom benefit when the spoils of
war are divided. Perhaps the most
outstanding display of friendliness
between nations is found in the fact

President Puund spent several

iHg With other valley representa-
tites in the fight for th. passage

- am confident that the bill

vote iu its favor ia the senate had
81 been brought 10 kut, there IN
thr recent srssluu. Tho work Of
senator johnson and tuugrr- man
swing and their assistants, which
has bc,r rarri'd on for years. has
brought about strong sentiment in
favor Of the bin, especially notice
abb in tho galleries during the SEES
siuns 81 Congress and apparent in
both the lluus. and senate, Pound
said.
This long fight for It's passage
has given 1t status as a bill in
favor of tin people rather than "a
bill for the big tasincss interests
and if this sentiment can BE- main
tanned through the summer I believe
that the bill will hr passed by the
Senate. But the fight against the
propaganda spread by the interests
fighting the measure must be con
tinucd.
Work en- South
:" An example Of their work is
seen in the Southland. People
there were in cotton scare when
proponents of the bin arrived in tho
east. They had been led to believe
that the passage of the Boulder
Dam bin would mean the produc-
tion Of an enormous amount of cot
ton in the valley aud its cnvirons
and il was necessary for us To do
considerable talking before this
fear was eliminated.
1T is needless 10 say that we
were all oycrioycd at the passage
of the bill in the house. The work
Of Phil Swing was magnificent in
bringing about the approval of the
House and at all times he fought his
battle with great gcneralship. Few
changes in the bill as presented
We're made.
"in he Senate Johnson put up
Just as gallant a fight but was un-
able to break up the filibustering
against it. His success in keeping
the bin before the Senate, however,
can be looked upon as much of Il
victory.
"Thcrc is little else to say re-
garding the situation at the present
time save to remind one and all to
continue the fight by keeping the
hill before the people in even a
greater measure during the Summer
and fall than ever before
