SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
Meeting Thursday Night Turned Out
to Be One Informal in Character

~ DC OiiS AtilOAi MAI III NAtdIdCleI
The regular melting of Smyrna Ro-
tary Club, was held last Thursday ev-
ening at the Wayside Inn. A Valen-
tine program had been planned by the
committee, but owing to the fact that
some materials which had been order
ed for the occasion, did not arrive in
time, this program was abandoned
Various members who were called up
on, gave short talks, also DIR. Combs,
of Middletown, gave a description of
a Rotary meeting in Philadelphia,
which he attended recently, which
made the meeting a very interesting
ore despite the other disappointment.
Three visitors were present: DR.. w. S.
P. Combs, DR.. Louis Levinson, and
Max Gebhardt, all of the Middletown
Club. Next Thursday evening, the
members of the Rotary Club will at
tend the Firemen's Supper.

DISPUTE RACE TRACK MEASURE
Will Be Presented to Delaware Legis-
Iature Soon, 1t is Said


lature Soon, 1t is Said
From present indications the much
talked of race track bill will make its
appearance within few days. Sew
eral people supposed to be interested
in the measure were in Dover Monday
but all concerned were not present and
the bill was not produced Under the
plan proposed there would be a racing
commission composed of three of the
best known men in the State, men of
high standing in Delaware and pro
vision would be made for a consider
able portion of the money collected to
60 to the State. 1t is estimated that
the State would receive atleast half a
million dollars from the bill and 9th
ers think that the receipts would 60
to S750,000 which is the amount re
ceived by the State of Maryland from
racing. 1t is proposed to divide the
receipts between the school fund or if
this fund does not need the money, the
general fund Of the State and the re-
mainder go to rural. fire companies for
maintenance and to the pension funds
of the police and fire departments of
Wilmington This will be threshed
out before the bill is presented. Those
interested in the measure decline to
say who is back of it at the present
time but declare that there will be
considerable change in sentiment when
it is learned who does favor the mea-
sure. It is declared that one Will
mington man has already agreed to
build and equip one of the finest race
tracks in the country if the bill is
passed. Those interested have even
gone so far as to select names to be
presented to the Governor for his con-
sideration as commissioners, in case
the bill is passed.

Plans Go Out to Remodel Building on
North State Street, Dover
Plans for the erection of a modern
hotel in Dover have been completed,
and construction on the project will
probably be begun this spring. The
structure is to contain approximately
40 rooms and is to be erected at the
corner of State and Mary streets.
While Brown and Whiteside, archi-
tects, have sent out the plans of the
hotel to local contractors, practically
no details of the construction of the
building could be learned. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that it is planned
to build a hotel comparable to other
modern enterprises in towns of the
same size. James F. Alice, Jr., and
associated interests, are sponsoring
the project.
