BELIEVE BIG SURPLUS
MAY INVITE RAID ON
DELAWARE'S FINANCES
rCOntisss4 from 6rst bass1

terfering in any way with the eff
fectiveness of the schools.
The surplus of the State Highway
Department on July l, 1928, was
| $50O,000. The greatest receipts OF
this department come from the first
month of the calendar year, while
the greatest expenses come later in
the season, when roads are built
and paid for. The balance at the
end of the present year was $1,100,-
900, but since that time the depart
ment purchased 100000 worth of
the States own road bonds and the
available cash in the surplus fund
is now 100000, although the $780,
900 worth of bonds might be turned
into cash should it become neces-
sary and are an asset, though not
cash.
Some motorists have been consid-
ering the advisability of asking for
a reduction in the fees paid for au
tcmobile licenses, but this will be
opposed by many on the ground that
the State road system has not yet
been completed and all motorists,
who keep up the roads, are anxious
that the department should cOntin-
ue to build improved roads.
There is some talk of introducing
bill in the Legislature to change
the nature of the State sinking
fund. This fund has accumulated
large surplus and it is the feeling
of many that it should be changed
so as to take care of the sinking
fund and interest on all bonds in
stead of merely caring for the sink
ing fund and interest on bonds is
sued for road building purposes. 1t
is claimed that the fund is now
strong enough to do this and this
would serve to build up the general
fund and might in the end result Ill
lowering some taxes.
There has also been some discus
sion over a proposed measure to |
create a finance department for the /
State which would collect State rev.
enues now collected by various bod
les and would also look after the
of the funds after
hey make it plain in private con-
that while the State at
present is in a splendid financial
condition had been appropriated by
he legislature under the budget
system.
Those familiar with State affairs
he coming legislature is going to
make every effort to keep it there.
The budget committee will carefully
xamine every appropriation which
s asked and the legislature will
.lso give careful scrutiny to all
measures coming before it for the
of money.

No. 1. This will be under inspection
furnished by the association. In ad-
dition the Del-Mar-Va Association
will advertise and publicize the par
ticular commodities, which are en-
titled to carry it's insignia, in the
markets where they are placed by
Peninsula growers and shippers.
Report was made to the committee
that every United States Senator and
Congressman representing the Pen
insula had expressed a decided will
ingness to aid in securing so per
cent advance in the tariff on toma-
toes and tomato products imported
into the United States from Italy and
other foreign points, as requested by
the association. The Honorable
Judge N. B. Wescott, of Onley, Va,
president of the association, will
name a delegation representative of
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, to
attend the hearings before the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, which
are scheduled for January "a, 25 and
%. The Del-Mar-Va Association is
exerting every effort to obtain this
advance for the protection of tomato
growers and the tomato industry on
the Peninsula.
Arrangements are now under way
to secure the services of a suitable
supervising inspector to head the
marketing program for the next
year and the indications are that
with completion of this feature the
will begin this phase of
operation early during the coming
year and be in a position to intro
duce its plan when broccoli, the first
crop Of the season, is ready to be
marketed.

not grant any extra period of time
in which to procure tags after the
year has expired"
In order to keep pace with the
work, the titling department Office
is working until 10 O'Clock each
evening. The clerks are striving to
clear up each night, the work that
has been received during the day so
that they may start the next day
without any handicap. This has been
possible up to this week, put in
Mondays mail and also Tuesdays
mail there were so many applica-
tions that the regular force was un-
able to take care of them all.
Applicants from MiddletOwn, who
gave checks on the bank that was
closed, have had these checks re-
turned to them marked "No Funds"
Some of them have endeavored to
have the State wait for the reopen
ing of the bank but the Titling De-
partment has taken the stand that
it is similar to a corporation and
will expect the ones who have issued
these checks to make good the mon
ey. This is the only attitude the State
can take legally.
Not alone the private individual
but even the notaries, it is stated,
have been making out automobile
licenses and drivers cards incor-
rectly. According to Mr.. Ball, it
wasn't expected that everyone would
be able to make out the cards cor
rectly this year, but through re-
the cards to the applicants

London, Nov. 29th-The dispute which
arose at the Western. or WaiIing Wall
in Jerusalem on the Day of Atonement,
September oath, is discussed in a memo
randum issued by the Secretary for the
Colonies. 1t is stated that the Wai}ing
Wall formed part Of the western extern
sion of an ancient Jewish Temple and is
Holy to the Jewish Community. The wall
is also part of the Haramal ShariI end
as such is Holy to the Mosl5ms. More
over, it is legally the absolute property
Of the Moslem community. On Septem-
Der 23rd, complaint was made that ln-
nOvations had been made by the Jews
for the Day of Atonement Service, by
the Introduction of a dividing screen and
other articles. The beadle told the de-
putty district commissioner that the
screen would be removed, but next day
it was still there and the police removed
t, in spite of resistance from some Of
he Worshippers. His Majesty's Govern
3ent regarded it as their duty and it is
lei1 intention to maintain the Jewish
ight of access to the pavement 10 front
t the wall, for the purpose of their de
g|otiCns, and also their right to bring TO
he wall those appurtenauces that they
we're allowed to take to the wall under
the Turkish regime. AS to further priVi-
Ieges the possibility of acquiring them by
mutual arrangement has been lessared
by the fact that public opinion in Paies-
tine had removed the matter from its
purely religious orbit and had made Of
it a political and racial question.

Species From Grand Banks Still Un-

overwhelmingly into the latest
developments in identification OF the
unknown fish brought into Boston by
fishermen operating of the Grand
Banks revealed that all efforts to es-
tablish this species Of fish as one of the
already identified variety have failed,
it was learned recently from DR..
Thomas Barbour of the Harvard Mu-
scum OF Comparative Zoology.
When the fish was first brought to
the Harvard authorities DR.. Barbour
said 1t was either one of two known
varieties. the Drama longipennis. found
in Scandinavian waters, the Drama
agassizii. found in Cuban waters, or
that 1t was an unknown species. Before
positive Identification could be made,
however. further description Of these
two known varieties had to be OBJ
tanned from authoritative sources.
1t has been definitely established that
the fish Is not the Drama agassizii. and
the Harvard authorities are still work
ing to see where 1t Is the Drama longi-
pennis or some entirely new species.
