At ten O'Clock yesterday morning,
Thursday, January 10, 1929, Edgar
H. Bratten, died at his home on
North Walnut street, Milford, Della
ware, from double pneumonia, af-
ter an illness which extended over
two weeks. He was interested in the
public affairs of Milford, especially
and of civic affairs generally. A
working member of the Milford

regular in its attendance, he made
and held many friends.
His relatives reside mostly in and
near Snow Hill, Md, where he was
identified with business for several
years. He was 5S years old and
helped to make a success of any en-
terprise which the merchants of Mil

competent, as we'll as of fine moral
character, men of his stamp are
missed when their passing from a
community comes.

FOUR SECRETARIES In
ROBINSON'S REGIME
Taylor, Miss Harrington, Townsend
Grantland Named BY Governor I

With the retirement of Governor
Robert P. Robinson on January Is
as chief executive he will have ex-
perienced an incident which pOssi-
bly, has not occurred with any other
governor of Delaware since the
state has been founded, that of hav-
ing had four secretaries of state,
two of whom died in office.
The first secretary of state was
William G. Taylor who was select
ed by the governor when he was
inducted into Office. Mr.. Taylor lost
his life on an ill-fated yacht off the
Florida coast during the Fall of
1925.
In November, 1925, Governor Rob
insOn just prior to his attending
the session of the National Grange
which kept him away from the
State Capitol for several weeks, ap-
pointed Miss Fannie S. Harrington
(now Mrs. Caleb X. Layton, of
Georgetown. Miss Harrington oc-
cupied the position of secretary of
state until March, 1926, when she
resigned and Sylvester D. Town
send was appointed to succeed her.
Mr.. Townsend held the Office un-
til February 16, 1927, when, after a

MILFORD INTERESTS
BUY SEAFORD BANK
DIR. G. Layton Grier And Others Buy
Delaware Trust Co. Branch

The Delaware Trust Company of
Wilmington decided during the year
1928 to dispose of its Sussex county
branches. Lewes and Georgetown
were sold to interests of that To-
Cality, and we are informed that the
Seaford branch has been taken over
by those of Seaford interested in
the former Delaware Trust Com
pany of that town. With this inter
est has been associated the follow
ing from Milford and Wilmington:
Louder N. Hearn, G. Roland Mes
sick and Dr. G. Layton Grier, of
Milford, and Frank l.. Gates, of
Wilmington, and others.
A bill will be introduced in the
present Legislature for chartering
the bank as the Seaford Trust Com
pany.
1t is expected that the personnel
of the bank will remain the same.
The Seaford Trust Company will
become genuine Seaford bank and
its purpose will be to serve the
people of that community. There
isn't a question but that the deposi-
tors of the bank will be pleased not
only with the directorate, but the

GASOLINE TAX
RECEIPTS GROW
Motorists Pay $7SS,993 In 1928 As
Compared With $632, ,S94 In 1927

How motoring through the rural
sections of the State has increased
il the past year may be gained from
a comparison of the amount of mon
ey collected from the three cent
gasoline tax. The past year the
State collected $7SS,993.17, an in
crease of more than $156,OOO over
1927, when $632,S94.27 was collect
ed. Both totals include the refunds,
because gasoline used for State pur-
poses is not taxable.
There was also another big jump
i'll the amount of money received
from registrations. For 1928 the
amount was $S29,1S2. For 1927 the
total was $S46,210.
Fines collected by the State po-
lice were more than $1,000 last
year over the year previous. In 1928
the total was $56,504. The amount
for 1927 was $45,S69.

THOS. w. MILLER MUST
SERVE OUT SENTENCE
Attorney General Sargent Denies
Parole To Delaware Man

Thomas w. Miller, former Alien
Property Custodian, convicted of
conspiring to defraud the Govern
ment in administration of alien
property seized during the World
War, was denied a parole last
Thursday by Attorney-General Sar-
gent. The prisoner, who was sentenc-
ed to serve Is months in the Federal
prison at Atlanta, was recommended
for parole by the Parole Board about
a month ago.
Heretofore the AttOrney-General
has disapproved the recommenda-
tions of the Parole Board only on
rare occasions and then on the
grounds that to grant the parole
would be against public policy. Mr..
Sargent, however, gave no reason for
disapproving the Miller parole.
The former Alien Property CustO-
dian. convicted in New York about
two years ago, started serving his
sentence last April "a. He became
eligible for parole last October and
was recommended for it early in De-
cember. His sentence will expire,
with good behavior, on next July Z.
For good behavior he gets three
months off the sentence.
Miller is a former Secretary of
State of Delaware, and represented
this State in Congress several years
ago.

DELAWARE WILL Get
FOUR MILLION ESTATE
TAX PAID BY DU POINT
Inheritance Levy On Late William
du Points Property Reaches
Big Proportions.
SUGGEST MANY uses
Already Persons Are Advancing
Plans Which 1t Would Help
Finance.

Between four and five million dol
lars i'll inheritance taxes is expect
ed to be received by Delaware in
the near future from the executors
of the estate of the late William du-
Pont who died last year
The money will go into the sink
ing fund of the state. 1t has been
suggested that the sinking fund use
this and other Inheritance taxes to
buy State highway bonds, and thus
have the highway department pay
interest on the bonds to the sink
ing fund.
If the last Legislature had not
passed what is known as the CO.
operative Inheritance tax act which
was suggested by Federal officials,
all of the Inheritance tax to be re-
ceived from Mr.. duPont's and other
large estates would go to the Fed
eral government
Various proposals have been set
forth since it was learned this huge
sum will be paid to the State. Ger
tain legislation has been suggested
to have the money used to relieve
ldApdyGlS W SOIlG 6Al6ul.
One suggestion is that the Legis-
lature pass law which would
make it possible for the State to
assume the interest and sinking
fund on the various bonds issued
by school districts for the construc-
ton of new buildings as well as to
continue the plan put into effect by
the last Legislature for two years,
to care for interest and maturity on
county highway bonds during that
time.
If the various counties and school
districts could be relieved of the in
terest and sinking fund on school
bonds and county highway bonds,
people over the entire State would
be relieved of large burden of tax
alton. Tax rates in different sec
tiOns might be considerably reduced
and at the same time the counties
and districts have as much money
to eXpend as they have at the pres
ent time.
When Pierre S. DUPONT, four years
ago, offered a new school building
program, which at that time was
defeated, he made the. statement Oh
numerous occasions that he hoped
to see the time when the State
would be able to assume all of the
school bonds of the various districts
and relieve the people of that much
tax. At the time this was not con
sidered possible, but the large
amount to be received by the state
flOm inheritance tax now makes
the plan appear more feasible.
1t is possible that the Legislature

STATE AGRICULTURE
HEALTHY LAST YEAR
Outbreak Of Anthrax Was All
That Marred Delaware Situa-
tiOn.

Exceedingly healthy agricultural
conditions, marred only by SER
ious outbreak of anthrax in cattle
herds in upper Kent and lower New
Castle county and an infeStation of
the Mexican bean beetle in Sussex
county, have prevailed throughout
Delaware during the past Is months
according to the annual reports for
the fiscal year 1927-192S published
in the Quarterly Bulletin of the
State Board of Agriculture which
has just been issued. While re-
ports cover only the period between
July l, 1927, and June 80, 1928,
events of outstanding Importance
during the past summer are. also
discussed briefly. The members of
the board are: o. A. Newton, of
Bridgeville, president; Newton l..
Grubb, of Grubbs, vice-president,
and Walker L. Mifflin, of Dover.
The first case of tuberculosis in
poultry ever encountered in Della
ware occurred during the past year,
according to the report of the Poui-
try Disease Control Laboratory.
1 lie CctSt, llONGN6 was SulllSly ioO
lated and no reason for its appear
ance could be discovered.
The State Board of Agriculture
has been particularly active in tile
reforestation of waste lands, distri-
buting $4,000 seedlings of black
walnut, tulip, poplar and locust
at an average cost, of only 2 cents
per tree. About 10000 Loblolly
pine seedlings have also been grown
and distributed.
The Importance of the milk in
dustry to Delaware is emphasized
by the report which states that
the farmers of the state are paid
more than $2,3OO,OOO each year for
milk by the IL principal milk ship
ping stations in the state alone.
