SMYRNA AND THE STATE
WELFARE HOME

its contention for the State
Welfare Home in Dover, de-
clares that "they cannot un-
derstand how any other town
(save Dover) could even be
considered for a moment as
the site for such state build
ing" What Tommy Rot
Why don't they argue that
the State Hospital at Farm
hurst should be in Dover?
Why not say the University
of Delaware at Newark "a
State institution should be in
Dover? Have not the people
and tax payers Of Smyrna, Of
Newark, and Of all other
towns in the State just as
much a right to be considered
as the State Capital? We
hope the State Welfare Com
mission will not be led by such
foolish talk. Just because Do
yer is the State Capital has
nothing to do with the build
ing Of a State Welfare Home.
1t can be erected anywhere in
the state the Commission SCI
lects. Dover is the State Cap
ital where the Legislature
meets, not necessarily a place
for all building and institu-
tions under state control.
Smyrna has offered three
good sites, two south Of the
town limits Of Smyrna and
one just north Of Smyrna,
near the Kent-New Castle
County dividing line, all acces-
sible to electric light, water,
gas and sewer. Options have
been secured for all these
sites, any one Of which is
nearer the center Of popula-
ton Of the state and would
make ideal locations for such
a home. Dover should not be
selfish in wanting to "hog" all
the state buildings. They
have a million dollar project
now for new State House
and other buildings in a COM
prehensive layout that is go
ing to change the whole COM
plexion of Legislative and Ad-
ministrative buildings at east
end of Dover Green. Why
deny other towns the right to
some few remaining State
Buildings? Smyrna has made
a splendid effort to have the
State Welfare Home located
here, not especially within
town limits, but a location
nearby. The two sites oppo-
site Belmont Hall, a noted
historical place, would be most
attractive, near enough tt
Smyrna for taking advantag
es Of municipal convenience
yet far enough away to give
the quiet and privacy an in
stitution of this character 81
much needs. We hope tn,
State Welfare Commission
will accept one Of these site

JUDGES SALARY
CASE COMES Up
Arguments on Mandate Suit
Being Heard Today.

Fight between the county and
eight Democratic judges over salary
cuts, ordered by county commits
sioners, was hared again today,
when arguments on a mandate suit
in the case were heard in superior
court four.
Attorneys filed briefs setting forth
their contentious with the court
following the arguments this
morning, on a demurrer contending
the commissioners acted lawfully
when they fixed the judges salaries
at $1,000 instead Of $4,000 formerly
paid.
When commissioners slashed their
salaries as an economy move, the
judges fled a suit mandating pay
ment of the old salary schedule.
Samuel Dowden, attorney, sat
as special judge in the case which
was moved to room four on account
of the crowded docket in circuit
court where the case is filed. Attor-
neys for the judges are Howard
Young, Ralph Kane and Fred G.
Cause.
The county, which has been pay
ing $4,000 of the $4,000 judicial
salaries, is seeking to cut this
amount $4,000.

KIRKLAND AGAIN
TO FACE TRIAL
Gary Murder Hearing viii
Open Wednesday.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
VALPARAISO, Ind, April ~
Virgil Kirkland, convicted Of the
murder of his high school sweet
heart, Arlene braves, and sentenced
to life imprisonment, will face trial
Wednesday for a second time on a
charge Of killing the Gary girl who
died after a drinking party which
she attended with him.
This time the Gary lad definitely
will place his life at stake, for he
will be tried, prosecutors say, only
on charges Of murder by attack and
murder by attempt to attack. Con-
viction on either count carries a
mandatory death sentence in Indi-
ana.
His previous conviction was on
the count of murder by a blow, a
charge the prosecutors said they
would drop in the new trial.
Judge Grant Crumpacker Of the
circuit court again will preside.
Barratt O'Hara, former lieutenant
governor Of Illinois, again will head
the corps of defense attorneys.
Four other young men indicted
with kirkland on charge Of killing
the 16-year old girl will be tried
later.

The commission recommended
five major steps:

one new bureau of the department
Of justice.
2. Collection by the census bureau
Of nationwide crime data as soon
as state legislation lays q proper

departments, preparatory TO the
proposed consolidation;

5. Greater care in gathering sta
tistics under present methods until
the new system is effective.
