camps in Kent county were repre-
2 sented and the following past state
presidents were present: John Hick-
. man, Port Penn; Joseph Barber,
2 WOOdside; w. W. Kerper, ChesWOld,
1 and E. Y. Williams, Dover. The first
/ address of the evening was made by
= the state president and then the
{ other members of the executive COM
= mittee spoke. The past state presi-
} dent were also called upon for re-
: marks. District president, E. c..
DAILY, or Hartley, probably made the
! most interesting talk of the evening
: He has charge of the camps in up
per Kent county. The meeting was
called to discuss plans for the com
/ ing class initiation to be held in
, Kent County during this month. AL
ready the various camps have
number of candidates to be used for
this class with prospects of several
more before the date rolls around.
Hartley seems to be on top of the
pile with the most candidates at the
present time, they are closely follow
ed by Harrington and Laurel, who
will have candidates for the class.
WOOdside, Viola and CheswOld are
trying and will likely furnish some
material. The meeting was so inter-
esting that it was merely midnight
before it closed. Some of the men,
bers spoke of the coming state camp
to be entertained by Port Penn, the
home of Vice-President E. E. Bend
Ter. An anniversary committee is
making plans to observe the 25th an
niversary of the institution of the
camps in Delaware in connection
with the state camp session. State
Treasurer E. Y. Williams, of Dover,
is making the plans for the class in
| itiation for the latter part of this
month.
Harrington Firemen Abandon
CarniValS-IndOrSe Sewer Project
The regular monthly meeting of |
the Harrington Fire Company was !
held Monday evening with President |
George w. Swain in the chair. The !
attendance was small but much bus
mess was transacted. The fire re-
cOrder reported five alarms during
the month of February. Three local
alarms and two rural calls, with
slight damage of $1,000 on all of the
alarms. A committee from the
Chamber of Commerce was present
and explained the sewer project, the
firemen indOrsed the movement and
will use their vote to put the plan
through. The delegates from the
county meeting held at Houston
made an excellent report. The local
firemen will entertain the associa-
tiOn this month. Chief Cain, George
Jexter and Grover C. Lord will rep
resent the local company. All ac-
tive members will be invited. Secre-
tary Knox will interview the ladies
auxiliary about serving the refresh
ments. The president appointed
Chief Cain, Assistant Chief Slaugh-
ter and Grover Lord a committee of
three to secure orders for the auto
emblems adopted by the State Asso-
citation. A new set of bylaws were
given the second reading and will
be adopted or rejected at the next
meeting Of the company.
Chief Cain reported that the fire
alarm had been over hauled and
cleaned and a sound board placed
beneath the siren. Beginning with
April 1st a test alarm of one long
blast will be sounded daily except
Sunday at II o'clock noon. Nearly
all the towns test their alarms at II
o'clock.
Fire lines will be thrown about a
fire in the future, the chief was in E
structed to see that 200 feet of rope
is placed on the equipment for this
purpose. Three cash donations were
received during the past month: W. :
A. Smith, r. L. Nelson and Harry
Masten. The secretary was instruct
ed to acknowledge receipt and for
ward letter of thanks to each
donor.
The question of a carnival this :
year came up for discussion and the :
decided to abandon them
for this year and some time during
the year put on an indoor bazaar for
two or three nights and also serve
supper for two nights. 1t is believ
ed this plan will net more profit
than previous affairs as carnivals
are not given the wholehearted sup
port that other fire companies get
throughout the state.
Special Election On
Sewer Question
Following the meeting of Town
Council last evening at which time
a committee appeared before them on
the sewer question, plans were COM
pleted for a special election to be
held next Tuesday afternoon from 2
to p. m. The citizens will be called
upon to decide two questions as the
first step on the sewer project. First,
bon ho h1ri1 NV
to be elected by the peo-
pie later or by the present Town
Council as constituted. Second, shall
the sewers be paid for by assessing
the front footage of a property or
by direct taxation to extend over
period of years. The opinion of
many of the citizens is divided as to
which is the best plan. But there is
strong sentiment in favor of putting II
the plan over this year. The Har-
ringtOn Chamber of Commerce will II
meet in the Community Building of II
the First National Bank on Thurs II
day evening to hear reports from II
COMMITTEES who had been appointed
to spread the sewer news. The II
will be open to all interest II
ed citizens. H
