Booster Club Meets

, Booster Club Meets
The regular monthly meeting o
, the Democratic Kent County Booste
Club was held in the Harrington
: New Century Club rooms here thi
week. The address of the evening
was made by Hon. r. Alan Colds
borough, of Denton, Congressman
from Maryland Mr.. Goldsborougl
held the attention of his audience
from the beginning, speaking aDOu
an hour, during which time he dis
cussed national politics, especially
dwelling on the recently enacted tar
iff laws, which are somewhat respon
sible for the present financial de-
preston. Especially interesting was
his description of night session, il
which members of Congress met al
the call of President Hoover to de-
wise some plan to combat the pres
ent depression and particularly to
stop the runs on banks. Howard
Lynch, of Dover, president of the
club, presided over the meeting and
at the conclusion of the Congress
mans address expressed the clubs
appreciation of the address. Seat
ed on the platform were the follow
ing: Senator w. E. Jacobs, Senator
j. f. Latchum, Senator Hopkins, j.
Harvey Burgess, Clarence Keys and
others. Senator Latchum offered a
motion that the speaker be given a
rising vote of thanks. The meeting
was a public one in which the wOm-
en- were especially invited-several
were present. The club house was
well filled. 1t is estimated that
about three hundred were present.
The next meeting of the club will
probably be held at Dover. We are
informed by the publicity chairman
that he is communicating with sew
eral nationally known speakers,
whom he expects to secure in the
near future for their monthly club
meetings.

Commerce Street About Completed
The street work on Commerce
street has about been completed af-
ter being torn up for the past
month. First the curbing and gut
ters were torn out to widen the
new street line was estab-
lished and a new curbing of cement
placed in position. The new con-
crete gutter was not finished at that |
time thinking it would aid the cleo
trio company in laying their cable !
for the new curbstone electric light |
poles. During the past week the |
Eastern Shore Public Service Com |
pany completed their work and then |
the concrete gutter was finished. |
Last night after the Mayor gave a |
signal the fire siren was blown and |
the new lights were |
switched on. 1t seems the fire siren |
was blown without notifying the
fremen and many of the volunteers
are somewhat disgruntled after
making the hard run to the fire
house only to learn the cause of
he alarm. The new lights are much
larger and there are more of them.
twenty lamp standards have been /
placed from the Methodist Protestant
Church on Commerce street to Me-
:hanic street, OH the north. Prev
GUS to this new improvement it was
said that Harrington was one of the

Commerce street look like a minia-
ure Broadway.
