DIVIDE DELAWARE
MARYLAND DRY WORK
George A. Hill Relieved OF Eastern
Shore Of Maryland Work

Prohibition enforcement activities
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
beginning the first of this week were
placed in the hands of agents oper-
ating from branch office to be
opened on that day in Salisbury, Md.
George A. Hill, prohibition direc-
tor for Delaware, with offices in the
Il. o. o. F. building, Wilmington, an
nounced Saturday morning that af-
ter Monday he will be desponsible
only for enforcement in this state.
For the last few months Mr.. Hill
has supervised enforcement not only
in Delaware but for nine counties
on the Sastern Ehore extending
south to the Virginia border.
Decision to establish the branch
office was made few days ago by
Thomas E. Stone, prohibition adj
ministrator for the Delaware-Mary-
land district.
A branch office to handle VIOLA
tions of the prohibition law in these
nine counties was deemed necessary
because of the removal of Mr.. Hills
office from Dover to Wilmington.
It was decided that Wilmington
was too far from the scene of Oper-
ations in Maryland and along the
Virginia border and that it would be
best to have a branch office from
which several agents will work.
Irwin w. Windsor, a prohibition
agent formerly attached to Mr.. Hills
force will be agent-in-charge Of the
branch office at Salisbury.
While Mr.. Hill would make no
statement concerning how many OF
his agents would go to the Sails
bury office it is learned that Henry
Thompson, of Wilmington, was
transferred.

STATE HAS BALANCE
OF $l2,97l,523 IN ITS
TREASURY AT PRESENT
Cash New On Hand Is The
Largest In The History Of
Delaware.
WANT DEBT FREE STATE
Governor Buck Hopes To Wipe
Out Bonded Debt During His
Term.

Delaware has a cash balance in
the State treasury Of S12,971 ,523.1S'
the largest in the history of the
State. The monthly report of State
Auditor Baker of the books Of State
Treasurer Ward shows this balance
was on hand April 1.
During the administration of Gov
ernor Buck the bonded indebted
ness of the State has been reduced
from more than $12,000;0OO to
slightly more than S5,000,000. If the
next legislature which meets in jan
uary, 1881, co-operates with the IL
nancial program Of Governor BUCK
the plan is to wipe out the entire
bonded debt thereby leaving the
State debt free for the first time IN
many years.
There is now $5,OOO,OOO of State
Highway bonds outstanding and
about 100000 bonds Of the Women S
College, University of Delaware, for
new buildings. The balance in The
general fund when the legislature
convenes is expected to be more
than enough to take care OF all OF
these bonds.
OF the cash balance now on hano
s5.3O7 .926.O4, is in the general fund
and S4,275,2 ,292.46, in the current
school fund. There is a balance OF
$500 900 in the school building
program fund, $947 ,4S2, in the high
way fund, a balance of $678,75l.25,
in the sinking fund and a balance OF
about $2O8,000, in fifteen small sfe-
ciaI funds. All of these funds make
I'D the grand total of nearly thlr-
teen million dollars.
The balance in the current school
fund is $4,000 in excess OF the
amount required by the school de-
nartment under their budget so this
$4,000 plus what revenue comes
in from income taxes until the emu
of the fiscal year June 80 will be a
surplus in the school fund. 1t is es-
timated that there will probably DC
another S1,OOO,OO0 surplus IN the
school fund for the school building
Drogram by the time the legislature
meets if it is decided for the state
to continue the program.
The Governors program TO WIDE
out the entire state debt next year
also provides for taking care OF an ai
current expenses and it is thougnt
there will be sufficient revenue to1
both purposes.
The total receipts of the State last
month were practically twice that OF
4ba disbursements. The total reVe-
me received by the State in March
was S1,454,9O3.94 and the disburse-
ments S75S. .559.24, leaving a balance
of S7O1. .342.70 for the month.

nothing to fight with but iron deter
mination. He will not be beaten. Hor-
ween inclined to the belief that such
a man might be more courageous than
a man handicapped by pain. Pain,
he said, might put man on edge. But
there is no way of keying up utter

Despite these considerations, the

he ever witnessed in foot ball game
was that Of q man seriously injured.

- 81, was the man. He was play
ing his last year on the eleven,
and it CHANGED that the occasion for
his great show Of grit came In the f1nal
game, the annual classic with Yale,
played in the Bowl at New Haven on
october 20, 1920.
Harvard, by the way, had a great
team that year-perhaps not ranking
with the greatest. but certainly top
notcher. Bob Fisher, having such men
as Owen, Buell. and Horween to work
with, had devised q tactical campaign
which promised victory. Bubbles
Havemeyer played center, and mighty
good man he was at the position, too.

This put us in a good position for
a drive. We made a first down on a

Yale stopped us. A rush and then a
pass netted us nothing. The pass was

is easy to pass the ball back at that dis
lance, even when you have two good
arms, in q way that will handicap the
kicker. The chances for misplay were
vastly increased in Havemeyer's case.
"A lot depended on the play. It
the result of the game.
."ONE-ARMED Bubbles made an
~ absolutely perfect pass. Buell. got
of q perfect kick. So we took
the lead 3 to 0. That was the score
when the half ended.
Presumably, Bubbles would have
played the game through, but for one
thing. In the clubhouse. during inter
minutes his dislocated shoulder was sc
stiff he couldn't lift his arm. This was
noticed and Of course Coach Fisher sent
in another man, Tierney, to take his
place.
I'VE never did cross Yale's line. How
ever, we scored six more points or
kicks and beat them to o.
i've always admired the courage
with which Havemeyer played through
tina first half, and the skill with which
he concealed his injury from Yale.
He really stayed in long enough to
help win the game. since we needed
no other score than the first kick OF
Buell's."
