MIDDLETowN's CLOSED BANK
Encouraging Reports Made That Peo-
pies National VIII Pay Dollar for
Dollar, But May Take Year

James w. Swan has been appointed
permanent receiver for the Peoples
National Bank at Middletown, which
closed its doors about two months ago.
Mr.. Swan succeeds William A. Baker,
who took over the affairs of the bank
at the time of its closing. The bank
examiners who went over the affairs
of the bank have completed this work,
but so far no public statement has
been made concerning the financial
status of the institution. 1t was, how
ever, stated on authority that the new
receiver has asked for an assessment
from the stockholders of the bank.
The par value of the stock is 500 per
share. Until a report has been re-
ceived from the bank examiners, it
was stated that no definite statement
can be made regarding what amounts
of funds will be returned to the depos-
itors. ]. Pearce Carn, attorney for
the bank, stated that due to the out
standing loans it would require some
time before the accounts can be clos
ed. These, however, will be collected
as they come due. To force the col
lection of these notes rapidly would in
many cases depreciate the probable
returns and defeat the very end de-
sired, full payment. The only solu-
ton Mr.. Cam said is the gradual pay
ment voluntarily as they are due, and
in some cases before, by the borrow
ers. Some of the notes are obviously
not based on sufficiently valuable or
sound collateral, but it is considered
that the greatest number of them will
eventually result in the payment of
substantial dividends to the depositors
Of the bank. In addition to the money
due on the notes, sooner or later, there
is also a definite amount due from the
stockholders of the institution, should
the amount collected from the notes
fail to reimburse the depositors. The
stockholders, of course, lose the
amount the stock is worth, but in adj
dition in accordance to the laws gov
erning national banks they are also
liable for an additional amount equal
to the par value of the stock, which
in the case of the Peoples National
Bank of Middletown, is 500 a share.
Some of this cannot be collected, but
il is estimated that eventually sufi-
cient funds will be secured to pay the
depositors a large percentage of their
deposits if not in full, but it will take
at least a year to do it.

Nd, the Rev. Arthur B. Kinsolving,

DIR. Benjamin Baker, another member
of the Johns Hopkins staff and cor,
lege chum of DR.. Carter at Oxford
University, England, and at Hopkins,
was best man. The bride, who was

ter of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick
Taylor Haines of Elkton, Md. Her

WOODLAND BEACH PROMISED A
CONCRETE ROAD THIS YEAR
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
DECIDES To BUILD THREE MILES
"Cut Off" Skirting Town of Milford
Decided OH and New Concrete Road
East sof Dover to Have Beginning

Woodland Beach promises to be-
come a more important bay resort be-
cause the State Highway Commission
at its meeting last week, decided upon
a concrete stretch of three miles on
the road from Smyrna to the Beach.
The entire distance is five miles, but
there is an improved highway Of two
miles, already constructed from Smyr-
ma to WendelPs Corner. A good I'M
proved highway is all this old resort
needs to give it impetus and many
patrons of the resort will be glad to
see good road connection all the way
down as far as the marsh road. Just
what will be done with the marsh road
is not definitely decided but 1t will
probably be raised above tide water
and macadamed The State Highway
Commission also took another forward
step in deciding upon new routes that
would skirt big towns. In Kent coun-
tv, a stretch of two miles from the
State police station at the northern
entrance of Dover to the Little Greek
road, about half a mile east of the
State House, and which road will be
outside the St. Jones river was ap-
proved. Just how much farther the
detour around Dover will go is proble
matical Those taking this route from
the State Police Station to the Little
Greek Road will avoid traffic conges-
ton because it will be entirely outside
of the town Of Dover 1t may be that
the commissioners will decide to con
tinue this highway from the Little
Greek road to a point beyond Mag
nolia. This matter has been under
discussion for two years. In that
event, if the second highway running
North and South was built from State
Road to Dover, motorists travelling
north and south would have the adj
vantage of this duplicate highway as
far as Magnolia. As the greatest con
gestion is in and around Dover, it is
believed that double system of high
ways as far as Magnolia would take
care of traffic for years to come. Mil
ford, too, is to have a stretch Of one
and a half miles of cutoff, skirting
that town. This will also reduce con-
gestion.

POULTRY MEETING AT HARTLY
Will Be Held Friday Evening, Feb
ruary 18th, With a Program of In
terest="GrOw Healthy Chicks"

Poultry raisers throughout Kent
county, and particularly those in the
central and western sections, will be
interested in attending the meetings
which have been arranged by County
Agent Russell E. Wilson at the Caesar
Rodney School Building between Cam
den and Wyoming on Thursday even
ing, February IA, and at the public
school building in Hartly on Friday
evening, February 10, for the purpose
of discussing those factors which are
essential in the growing of healthy
chicks, and the cost of raising pullets
and feeding layers on our Delaware
farms. The results of the "Grow
Healthy Chicks" campaign, which was
launched for the first time in the state
last spring, will be presented by H. 5.
Palmer, Extension Poultryman of the
University of Delaware, under whose
supervision this project was conducted
in cooperation with the three county
agents and several of the leading COM
mercial poultry farmers. During the
spring of 1928 the poultrymen were
advised to follow a certain set OF
points, or practices, in connection with
this campaign for healthier and better
chicks, and the records from $50 farms
on which all or a part of these prac-
tees were followed show some very
encouraging results from statewide
standpoint of disease prevention and
control. Among the other items Of
interest which will be discussed at
each of these meetings will consist of
a presentation Of figures showing the
cost of growing pullets to six months
Of age. the amount of feed consumed
by each bird per month, in addition to
the feed costs per bird, the cost per
dozen eggs produced, the net price re
ceived per dozen, and the net returns
per bird above feed costs. This infor-
nation was obtained from the records
that were kept by those poultrymen
who were members of the complete
poultry record clubs in the Millville,
Bridgeville and Hartly communities
last year, and the summary of these
records should be Of exceptional value
to every poultry farmer in the state
who is concerned about realizing the
greatest profits from his flock.

and cherished recollections.
