BID FOR MILFORD LIGHT PLANT
p. ]. Minck & Company Offers $780,
for Milford Electric Light Plant

Milford has had another bid for its
light and water plant. At a meeting
of the Town Council last week, it was
announced that $45O,OOO had been of
fered for the system. This is the
third and highest bid that has been
offered for the plant The offer was
made by P. j. Minck and Company,
Inc, who operate public utilities in the
West. This offer will be considered
by Council and then the question of
selling the plant will be settled by
referendum vote of the taxpayers. 1t
was brought out at the council meet
ing that the Indebtedness of Milford
is about STA, 700, and if the sale of
the plant should be consumated at the
present bid the entire debt of the
town would be wiped out leaving a
balance of $276,O00 President of
Council Thomas Kirby, in discussing
the matter, said that if the plant was
sold he would advocate investing the
balance after the towns debts were
paid in such manner as to provide
perpetual revenue for the town. This
amount placed in a trust fund, he
pointed out, at per cent interest
would earn more than $1,000 a year
in dividends and with a small town
tax Milford could make improvements
which could not be considered with the
present Indebtedness. Sentiment for
selling the Milford plant has been
largely brought about by a meter
charge that has bene imposed by the
light and water board on users of
current. This charge ranges from 70
cents to $2.25 according to the size of
the meter necessary to take care of
the registering of the current consum-
ed. Every consumer has this meter
charge added to his bill every month
in addition to the regular charge for
current used. For general lighting in
Milford the rate is 10 cents a kilo-
watt consumed to which the meter
charge is added It is pointed out
that other towns in Delaware lighted
by public utility corporation do not
have this meter charge although in
some instances the kilowatt rate is
slightly higher, but with the meter
charge the small consumers of current
in Milford are compelled to pay a
much higher rate under the municipal
management. Those in favor of not
selling the plant say if the plant is
sold the town will lose its control of
the water supply in Milford. IN
speaking Of this phase Of the question
President Kirby said that if the deal
should be consumated that council
would make ample provision to safe
guard the water supply of the town.

SESSION OF SUPREME COURT
Held at Dover, Several Cases Were
Disposed of Without Argument

At the adjourned session of the Su-
preme Court of Delaware at Dover,
several cases were disposed of without
argument. There we're but two cases
argued and but one opinion handed
down. The case in which an opinion
was handed down was that of the
State of Delaware for the use of the
Pennsylvania Railroad against the
Aetna Casualty and Surety Company,
being a case in which suit was brought
on a bond given by a contractor for
work and labor done, the contractor
later failing in his work and the bond
sued on. The verdict in the lower
court was in favor of the Surety Com
pany, while the verdict of the Supreme
Court reversed the judgment of the
court below, giving verdict in favor
of the Railroad Company and a boat
company of Norfolk, Va. The first
case argued was that of John A. Mil
Ter against the State of Delaware be-
ing an appeal on writ of error from
the court below to the Supreme Court.

Another bear has been added to the
private zoo of Thaddeus Windsor, Of
Milford. The new addition arrived
and for awhile caused some excite
ment when the new acquision broke
loose and defantly stalked about the
yard in the rear of the New Windsor
Hotel at Milford. At the time the
wards was filled with children on their
way to school, who had crowded into
the premises despite the remOnstra-
tions of Mr.. Windsor. The new bear
was being uloaded at the recess hour
and the children filled with curiosity
pushed as close as possible around the
cage from which bruin was being
transferred to carral, especially con-
structed for bears. Mr.. Bear evident
" didn't take kindly to going into
captivity. He lunged and snapped a
leather collar and jumped free into
the yard. Mr.. Windsor pushed the
children to safety and then with as
sistance the bear was rounded-up and
gradually forced into the correll. The
animal is a Canadian brown bear, full
ly gorwn and weighs about 500
pounds. Mr. Windsor obtained the

FIND SPANISH COINS ON BEACH
Nav Have Been Washed Ashore From
Shin on Ocean City Beach, Maryland

Shin on Ocean City Beach, Maryland
One of the largest "finds' of beach
money at Ocean City, Md, took place
Saturday, when Charles F. Culver, OF
Berlin, Md, picked up nine Spanish
silver coins, dated from ITO to 1879,
bearing on one side the profile of a
king of Spain of that period. The re-
verse side of the coins showed the
Spanish seal. The Berlin youth pick
ed up the coins few hundred yards
north of the Catholic Home, in the
Northern section of that resort. The
coins, partly covered by sand, appar-
ently were washed ashore during a
recent heavy storm along the coast.
Four of the silver quarters were dat
ed 1880. two were dated ITO, two
others 1899 and another 1877. These
Spanish silver coins were found in
great numbers on the beach near
Ocean City prior to 1900 and at pres
ent one is rarely found on the beach.
A ship loaded with Spanish silver was
sunk off shore at an undetermined
point in the early 1800's. Until about
25 years ago an old seeress, called
Zippy Lewis, inhabited the beach
North of that resort in a small hut
and is said to have collected a large
amount Of "beach money" When she
died. searching parties failed to find
a single silver coin in her hut. The
Berlin youth, after reporting his find,
gave the coins over to a coin collector
Saturday, receiving a profitable price
for them. The nine coins are now in
possession of a Berlin, Md, man, and
are on display in that town.

odsofmeasuring, many fuels are claimed
to be "anti-knock, when they are only
partially so.
nitsresearch Laboratories, the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey has de-
veloped method of rating the "knock"
of fuels. These scientific tests show con-
clusively that only few motor fuels
are genuinely "anti-knock."
OF these genuine 'anti-knock" fuels,
the very best is ESQ, rightly called

which make it, in our opinion, the best

Thousands of motorists are now using
ESQ, finding that while they pay
slightly more per gallon for this fuel,
they get an extra engine performance
never before experienced.

This is obvious, since genuine "anti-

 For years the stadium was enlarged during each football season bystem- porary wooden stands which closed the open end of the .U-shaped str1c- ture. These were condemned by the Boston building commissioners more than a year ago.
 Various plans were advanced by alumni, some of which included sttg- gestions for closing the north end with concrete stands, making the .sta- edium sort of bowl. Other plans called for the closing of the open end and, in addition, the addition of sew 7eral tiers of seats around the tonsof the bowl. Temporary steel stands were rejected because of the cost of erecting and removing them before and after the football season.
 Although much of Harvard Univer- sity lies in Cambridge, Harvard's sta dium and athletic grounds, Soldiers Field,l lie in the ciysof Boston. This was the reason why Boston officials were called upon to act in the case of the old woodeni stands.
