SCHOOL BUILT In
u 1885 TO BE SOLD

The Georgetown Board of Educa-
tion will offer for sale on Saturday
afternoon, January 2, the old pub
lie school building at North and
Chestnut streets.
Some months ago the building
was put up at public auction with
several rural schools which have
consolidated with Georgetown. The
price offered at that time was so
low that it was bid in.
Residents of Georgetown are hop
ing that the building will be pur-
chased by persons who are interest
ed in establishing some kind of an
industry. There is more than an
acre of land attached to it; and with
an expenditure of a few hundred
dollars, the building can be put in
good shape.
The school building was erected in
1885 and was used until last year
when the new $250,OO0 structure
was built on West Market street.
The old building in the rear of the
Sussex County Courthouse, more
than fifty years the home of the Sus-
sex Journal, is being torn down by
order of the Sussex County Levy
Court.

The present State administration
has no plans for seeking a change in
the present laws governing the con-
troll of the Farmers Bank or the op-
Grafton of the depositing of State
funds, according to information Civ
en- out by Governor C. Douglas Buck
The Farmers Bank with the main
bank at Dover, two branches in Will

the only depository for State and
county funds. The State owns more
than fifty per cent of the stock, but
only names nine of the twenty-five
directors.

Governor Buck touched on the sub
ject of the small State representa-
tion on the Farmers Bank board and
in view of these statements it was
thought in some circles that the ad-
may have formulated
some plans in an effort to have the
conditions changed.
