SNOW ELECTED
TO LEVY COURT
IN KENT COUNTY
Official Count Shows Re-
publican Instead Of Dem
Ocrat Gets Majority
ONLY CHANGE MADE

The official canvass made by the
court late Thursday afternoon of the
vote cast in Kent county at the
election last week made but one
material change in the figures and
results as announced in the Milford
Chronicle last week. This was for
Levy Court in the first district. The
unofficial figures had E. II. DonO-
van, Democrat, elected by lS but
the official count shows that Thomas
Jackson Snow, Republican, was
elected by Z.
The difference was an error of 25
votes in the Smyrna district. The
unofficial figures gave Mr.. Snow
but $40 when the talley sheet as eX-
amined by the court gave him 395
votes.
A mistake of 200 votes was made
in the First District of the Ninth
Representative District, at Harring-
ton for the Democratic candidate
for Levy Court in the Third Levy
Court District. Fred P. Parker, DEM
ocrat, had been allowed but 365
votes by the unofficial figures. When
an examination was made it was
found that the talley sheets gave
him SOS votes but the clerks gave
him but 365 ON the certificate. This
made Parker's majority 8O3 instead
of SOB.
Chancellor WOlcott and Judge
Harrington composed the court that
canvassed the vote. Those assisting
the court were John C. Hopkins,
Melville Hopkins, Herman c. Tay-
Tor, Howard M. Buckson, D. M.
Ridgely and Elmer p Horsey.

MOTORS REPLACING
DELAWARE HORSES
Figures Show 10000 Fewer Animals
Than Ten Years Ago

That the development and use of
automobiles and tractors is rapidly
taking the place of horses and mules
for farm work in Delaware, is indi-
Gated by the 1880 farm census of the
state, maGe Tir1i1c by the direct8f
of census. The figures show RAJ con-
siderable decrease in the humber Of
horses and a slight increase in dairy
stock in Delaware on April /.
According to the preliminary fig
ures, the number of horses decreas-
ed from 27,752 in 1920, to 1856 in
1880; the number of mules in the
state on April 1 show an increase
from 9439 i'll 1920, to 1851 this year,
as did also the number of cattle
which increased from 46,509 in 1920
to 1864.
While there was little change in
the number of mules and cattle in
the State on April 1, this year as
compared with 1920, dairy cattle de-
creased from 33,O26 in 1920 to 29,742,
this year. The number of hogs Della
ware farms decreased from 3S,621 ten
years ago to 2O,733 on April 1, 1880.
One of the interesting features of
the figures is that an enormous in
crease in the poultry, which shows
the number of chickens increased
from 94S,656 in 1920 to 1,550,364 in
1880.

ALL WILL BENEFIT

To have the State assume all
school bonds in the State, amount
ing to $2,5OO,OOO, pay off the re-
naming debt of the State amount
ing to about $4,5OO,OOO and to pay
for all new schools in the State out
of State funds, instead of compelling
the districts to share in the cost,
is the plan of Governor c. Douglass
Buck. This plan would relieve the
city of Wilmington of bonds for
schools in the excess of $1,000,000.
The State is already caring for
county road bonds as rapidly as
they come due.
In order for the State to assume
responsibility for the school bonds
it will be necessary for the legisla-
ture to pass law making such pro-
vision and providing Il means for
the bonds to be taken care of. The
highway bonds which make up llost
of the State debt can be cared for
by the Governor and other officials
as they become due. This is pro-
vided for in the State Highway Law.
When the school bonds were is
sued by the various districts no pro-
vision was made for Tedeeming
them and they must run to maturity
unless the State is able 10 purchase
them from time to time. The plan
of Governor Buck is for the legisla-
ture to pass an act providing that
the State assume responsibility for
these bonds. This fund would be in
