NEW PONTIAC CREATES SURPRISE
w. B. MARYLAND, Local Agent, Will
Soon Have One on Display

One Of the major surprises register
ed at the first showing of the new
Pontiac Big Six, is the fact that the
Oakland Motor Car Company has been
able to retain the original base price
of S745 on a car so completely ecips-
ing previous Pontiacs in size, speed,
performance and beauty. Immense
purchasing power and the vast econ
omies Of quantity production are the
secrets behind the increased value
which the new Pontiac Blk Six pre-
sents," explained w. R. Tracy, vice
president in charge of sales. Incl
dentally, when an automobile is i'm
proved and enlarged so radically as
is the new Pontiac Big Six, the major
changes in factory tooling and equip
ment and in all the infinite detail Of
building motor car, present genu-
inc problem which subjects the clev-
crest manufacturing brains to the ul-
innate test" Mr.. Tracy continued. "A
new model only slightly different from
the previous line may be placed in
production after relatively simple
arrangements. Under such conditions,
the factory within a wek or two may
attain maximum production on the
new model But in introducing a
greatly improved model, the task be-
comes multiplied many fold because
the amount Of preparatory work is in
direct proportion to the number and
the Importance of the improvements.
In preparing to turn out a practically
new Pontiac Six our production de-
partment faced the most complex
problem in the history of the Oakland
Motor Car Company. Changes had to
be made all along the line, from foun-
dry specifications to the finish of the
tail lamp. The new gear and axle
plant, the motor lines, assembly lines,
sheet metal stamping department
even the shipping department.
quired revamping in preparation for
building this new Pontiac which we
are positive will bring US the greatest
volume year in our history. But with
the factory changes all completed land
with cars rolling from the assembly
lines as rapidly as is possible-while
conforming to our rigid precision and
inspection standards delivery Of the
new Pontiac Six to the ultimate con
sumner may be expected to take place
soon after the car has been placed or
display at w. B. Markland's Garage
and showrooms.

CIVIL WAR VETERANS OF STATE
At Present There Are About rs Av-
erage Age of Survivors is 81 Years

According to conservative estimates,
the number of veterans Of the Civil
War in Delaware at present is about
125. There are 81 members in the
Grand Army of the Republic. After
the war it is estimated that there
were about 1,400 veterans of the Civil
War in the State members Of he G..
"A. r. Now there are less than 10
per cent living. The total number of
men, enlisted and officers from the
State in the War of the Rebellion was
about 5000. The average age of those
now living in the G. A. r., Delaware
Department, is "a. They meet twice
a month at least the Wilmington
Posts of the department do. @. A.W.
Frishmuth, Of the General Phil Shri-
dan Post, No. %, of the Delaware De-
partment, said. During last year
only two veterans died. In 1927 five
died. G. A. w. Frishmuth is adjutant
general of the Delaware Department
and an adjutant general of the Gener-
al Phil Sheridan Post. Mr.. Frishmuth
said that the veterans as a whole en-
joy very good health. He said that
particularly in the West and in the
rural sections, veterans that keep out
Oh doors large part of the time enjoy
excellent health in spite of the fact
that all of them are above 80. Ac-
cording to figures from the pension
roll at Washington, Civil War veter-
ans are dying at the rate of about
1000 a month in the United States.
AT the end of 1928 there were 68, ,788
on the pension roll, or 5000 less than
six months before. There were 191 900
widows on the pension roll at the close
Of the year, which is 5000 less than
six months before. Spanish War vet
Grams are increasing on the rolls, with
a total of 173,000 now, an increase of
10000 in six months, and 27,000 wild
| ows. There are 13 widows Of soldiers
Of the War of 1912 receiving pensions,
802 widows of Mexican War soldiers.
There are also 5000 veterans Of the
Indian wars and 5000 widows of these
veterans.

WILL USE SURPLUS IN Sinking
FUND TO REDUCE STATE DEBT
COMMISSION CAN SPEND $4,000
900 To PURCHASE BONDS
$2,EJ0,O00 at Once-Action Dispels
Any Possibility of Raid; 100000
in Interest Will be Saved

All possibilities of a raid on the
surplus of approximately $11,OOO,O00
in the State Sinking Fund at the end
of the fiscal year was dispelled late
Wednesday following meeting Of the
State Sinking Fund Commission, when
steps were taken to use the surplus in
redeeming State bonds and reducing
the Indebtedness of the State. At a
meeting in the Governors office
Thursday afternoon the Sinking Fund
Commission, which consists of the
Governor, Secretary of State and Au-
ditor Of Accounts, and the Sinking
Fund, Commissioner, who is the State
Treasurer, it was decided that with
the consent and approval of the Com
mission, the Sinking Fund Commits
sioner should Immediately apply all
the surplus funds now in the State
Sinking Fund to the redemption of
the outstanding Indebtedness Of the
State.
The Sinking Fund Commissioner
said that he has the opportunity at
the present time to purchase State
bonds of former issue at price un-
der that received by the State for
these securities. Receiving the con
sent and approval of the Sinking Fund
/ Commission, he said he would exer-
else his right to purchase such bonds
Immediately. The amount to be used
at once for the redemption of State
bonds is $2,25O,OOO. State Treasurer
Howard NJ Ward, who is the Sinking
Fund Commissioner of the State un-
der the law has an opportunity to pur-
chase a large block of bonds at par
which is less than the amount which
the State received when the bonds
were issued. 1t is not expected that
all will be purchased at that price,
though it is believed that consider
able number will. All State bonds can
be redeemed however at 1O5.
Will Reduce One-Third State Bonds
1t is expected by the Sinking Fund
Commission which is composed of the
Governor, Secretary Of State and
State Auditor, that by the end of the
present fiscal year the Sinking Fund
Commission will be able to redeem
one-third of all the bonds of the State
now outstanding, the total amount be
ing $12,000,000. In other words it is
expected to pay off S4,O0O,OO0 in bonds
by June 80 next. The exact amount
which can be saved in interest in this
way is not known because the bonds
to be redeemed bear interest at differ
ent rates, varying from A to 5 PEI
State in interest is expected to reach
at least 100000 yearly The plan i.
to reduce State Indebtedness just a:
rapidly as possible, and if possible
place the Commonwealth on a pay-as
you-go basis as suggested by Cover
nor G. Douglas Buck in his inaugura
address. 1t had been generally expect
ed that some such action would b
taken shortly, but no one had an ide;
that it would be taken this soon. Th'
members of the Sinking Fund Com
mission and the Sinking Fund Com
missioner went over the subject care
fully and the action was unanimous.
