LEWES-CAPE MAY
FERRY IS REVIVED
Del-Mar-Va Association Studies
PrOpOeitiOn Linking Delaware
With New Jersey.

New impetus in the proposed
Lewes-Cape May Point Ferry line
was given Wednesday afternoon at a
conference held in the Hotel Caesar
Rodney, Lewes, between members of
the committee named by the Lewes
Chamber of Commerce, a local lep-
resentative of the Del-Mar-Va East
ern Shore Association and princi-
pals OF a company, which is SER
iOusly considering such operation.
Activities of the special committee
at Lewes in promoting legislation
toward the ferry were halted during
the summer because of a delay on
the part of Governor Larson, of New
Jersey, in signing the bill similar to
the one adopted in Delaware, which
the New Jersey Legislature pass
ed. This delay left the ferry project
undetermined, although it was pro-
posed later that Cape May county
take over the construction of a pier
and ferry slip as a county enter
prise. The status further action was
taken regarding the proposed line.
Some little time ago, Secretary
Albertson, of the Lewes Chamber of
Commerce, received communication
from representative of very sub
stantial concern expressing an inter-
est in the proposed line. They re-
quested information and as a result
the meeting with them was held
Wednesday. This was attended by
number of prominent Delaware citi-
zens who have taken active part in
the project since it was first launch
ed as well as members of the spe-
cial committee and the executive
secretary of the Del-Mar-Va Associ-
alton.
Following informal discussion as
to sentiment on the Peninsula re-
garding the proposed line, general
facts as to tourist traffic and truck
shipment of commodities from the |
central and lower sections of the |
Peninsula were presented. 1t was
then agreed that the Del-Mar-Va
Association would supply more de-
tailed reports of both commercial
and tourist traffic on the Peninsula,
and that the special committee of
the Lewes Chamber of Commerce
would endeaver to obtain definite
action by the New Jersey officials.
Those attending the conference
and familiar with the plan as out
lined, are expressing at this time a
feeling of greater confidence in the
outcome of the proposed line &han
mas previously been noted. Because
Of the plan being tentative at this
time, names of the parties who will
consider operating the ferry line are
being treated confidentially.
1t is expected as soon as the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association
has compiled the traffic figures to
late and the Lewes Chamber of
Commerce and their special commit
zee have obtained information re-
yarding the New Jersey situation
hat definite announcement will be
made as to the plans for the pro-
posed line.

FREE DISTRIBUTION OF
STATE LAWS BANNED
Those Desiring Copies OF Laws Pass
ed BY Legislature Must Buy Them

By an act of the last Delaware
Legislature, the free distribution of
the pamphlet laws of the General
Assembly was discontinued and a
charge of $1.5O is made for the paper
back pamphlet laws and charge OF
SO for the cloth bound volumes.
Prior to the last legislature it had
always been the custom to send cop
les of the paper back laws to the
several prothonotaries in the State,
for free distribution, thus allowing
the people to acquaint themselves
with the new laws enacted.
Ignorance of the laws, if violated,
even though the general public has
not the privilege of having a copy
for study, will apparently be of no
avail when such violators appear be-
fore the courts of the State to de-
fend themselves against possible vio-
lation of a law of which they had
no knowledge.

new RULING MADE
AS TO AUTO LICENSE
TAGS in DELAWARE
Usual Five Days Grace Period
10 January To Be Eliminated
By Secretary Grantland.
new TAGS AFTER DEC. IS
Starting With This Date 1t Will
Be Legal To Drive With New
License Tags.

There will be no five days of grace
after January 1, in which to obtain
an automobile license, as has been
the custom up to this year. That
point has been settled by Secretary
of State Charles H. Grantland. Every
one who does not have a 1880 license
on January 1, will face being arrest
ed and fined, if caught driving a car.
Furthermore, no motorist who now
has a Delaware license to drive, will
have to pay any fifty cents notarial
fee, and the notaries of the state are
up in arms about this decision of
the Secretary of State. 1t is Mr..
Grantland's plan to have branch Of
fees open on certain days of the
week, in Georgetown and other
points, where representatives of the
Titling Department will sit to issue
drivers licenses and tags. Those who
have drivers licenses will have them
renewed by the State officials with
out any notarial fee.
"The way 1 interpret the automo-
bile law" said Secretary Grantland,
sis that after first taking out a Ii
cense to drive and providing it has
not been revoked, it is not necessary
to pay second notarial fee.
But there are many who instead
of waiting for the drivers card to
come from Dover, prefer to go to a
magistrate and pay him fee. That's
their business, but they don't have
to if they apply to titling depart
ment."
Mr.. Grantland stated that begin
ming November 1, those who want
the same license number would be
permitted to apply for it and it
would be sent to them. The coupon
cards will be sent to each motorist,
at last year, and they can apply
many weeks ahead of time for their
license tags and drivers permit, and
have the tags ready. After Decem-
ber 1, they will take whatever num-
bers are handed them.
Starting December Is, the branch
offices of the Titling Department for
the sale of tags and drivers licenses
will be opened, and it will be legal
to drive from December Is on with
the new license tags, but after De-
cember 81, every one must have
new license tag. Magistrates will be
to sell tags and issue driv-
ers licenses, just as they have in the
past.
There has been considerable con-
troversy among magistrates and
dealers over the issuance of f1ve-day
driving permits. The claims and
counter claims became so warm that
the Automobile Department of the
Secretary of States office has taken

BRIDGEVILLE VOTES
FOR SCHOOL BONDS
Six Merged Districts VIII Spend
$25,625 For New Building

Polling 532 votes, Bridgeville and
consolidated school districts unan-
imously decided at special school
election last Saturday to bond itself
for two per cent of the present as
sessed valuation of real and person
al property, which is $25,625, to be
used in the erection of a new 20
room school building in Bridgevllle.
The State Board of Education has
set aside $180,000 for this building,
providing the district bonded itself
for two per cent of the assessed val
uation of real and personal proper
ty. AS a result of Saturdays cleo
ton the district will now bond itself,
there being no votes polled against
the project.
At a previous election six school
districts out of total of ten, had
voted to consolidate with the Bridge
vile district, the other four districts
voting against the consolidation.
The new building will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000.
The need for new school in
Bridgeville for white children is due
to the overcrowding, unsafe and un-
sanitary conditions which now exist
in the present school buildings in
those six districts.
Saturdays vote was considered a
very large one and there was much
interest in the election.
Besides voting for the bond issue
the voters also elected the following
men to be members of the building
committee to look after the building
of the new school: Edgar Anderson,
Guerney Baker, H. E. Hardesty and
H. L. Cannon, all prominent resi-
dents of the Bridgeville consolidated
school districts.

be heathful as well as pleasing to
the sense of taste.
Enlarging on his statement that
the tendency toward softer water
with a pleasing taste is growing in
the nation, he said: 1.-THE cost of
softening water to the home-owner
with preparations and soaps is such
that any additional cost of soften

be offset by the present. soap and

Voting Dropped.

Indefinite postponement of a bill
providing for the placing of names
