4 DOVER WOMEN
HURT NEAR HERE
Automobile and Truck Come
Together North of Walk
ers' Road Intersection
INJURED ARE CARED FOR

In an effort to avoid hitting a
dog on the boulevard near the in
tersection of Walkers Road north
of Smyrna on Sunday morning,
four women were badly injured and
two escaped when the Buick sedan
in which they were riding crashed
into a truck. The injured women
were Miss May KERN, who is en-
ployed at Dr. McDaniels' office at
Dover, broken arm and broken
ankle; Miss Mamie Queen, an en-
ployee at Simon's store, Dover,
fractured pelvis bone; Mrs. Helen
Queen, internal injuries; Miss Lila
Dandsey, fractured collarbone.
Miss Josephine KERN and Mrs.
Mary Hale, the other two occu-
pants of the machine were unin-
jured. The six women it is said,
had attended services at Holy
Cross Catholic Church early Sun
day morning and following the SER
vice, had started for Valley Forge,
Pa. Miss Queen, the driver of the
car, saw a dog crossing the road
and swerved to the side to avoid
striking it and plunged directly
into truck travelling south. The
left side of the machine was com
pletely caved in and damages are
estimated to about $500. Those
injured were taken in the Smyrna
Legion Ambulance to the Kent
General Hospital at Dover. All
are residents of Dover and all from
later reports are recovering from
the shock and the injuries they
sustained.

DEF AWARE & CHESAPEAKE CANAL
OPENED TO TRAFFIC 1O3 YEARS AGO

1919, and the sum of $2,514, ,289.7O
was paid to the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal Company. After
a short time plans were made by
the government to convert the old
lock canal into a tide-water, sea
level waterway. Dredging was
started in 1924 and the new water
way was formally opened to traf-
fic on May IA, 1927. The canal was
dredged to a depth of IL feet at
mean low water and the U. S. En-
gineers have maintained the canal
at that depth since 1927. Plans
are now under way to eventually
make the canal 25 feet deep to
properly tie the waterway in with
the main channel of the Delaware
River and the Chesapeake Bay.
With this depth, the canal would
also be widened which would make
the waterway able to take care of
any kind of vessels or ships

Church stands. The first church
known as the Old Brick Bat meet

part of 1888. Late in the year of
1851 these Methodists conceived
the idea of erecting a new church
and after much prayer and careful
planning the new building was
started. It was completed in Oc-
tober 1852. On Sunday, October
%, 1852, the new building known
as st. PauPs Methodist Episcopal
Church was dedicated. Special ser

WOULD END REAL
ESTATE ROAD TAX
Governor Buck Feels This
Burden on Homes and Farms
i'm State Could Be Lifted
SUGGESTS GASOLINE TAX

Governor C. Douglass Buck at
the big Republican Rally at the
Playhouse in Wilmington Friday
evening, came to the aid of farm
and home owners of Delaware by
offering a comprehensive plan for
the slashing of the burden of tax
alton in Delaware through abolish
ing the road tax on real estate and
turning over control of all public
roads to the State, through its
Highway Department. The Cover
nor explained that his plan would
result in saving to county tax
payers of approximately so per
cent. IF this is to be done,
think it would be well not only to
take over the roads, but also the
three county highway organiza-
tions and make them part of the
State Highway Departments or
ganization," he declared. ''YOu
may properly ask How can the
State assume a one million three
hundred thousand dollar liability
without increased revenue 2 It
can't, and if the plan is adopted l
would recommend that the gasoline
tax be increased one cent a gallon.
This would raise 100000 annually
and what more was needed the
State Highway Department would
have to find out of its present in
/ come" Pointing to the tax rates
! in New Castle, Kent and Sussex
counties on real property for 1882,
/ Governor Buck showed revenue
of about So, 100000 a year will be
produced. He contended this is
far too much money to take every
wear from owners of homes and
farms for the running of county
government. Governor Buck made
it clear, at this point, that he does
not subscribe to the plan advanced
/ for consolidating the three coun-
/ ties. He stated there is but one di-
rect solution to the cost of county
government in Delaware and that
/ is to revise and bring up to date
/ the system in each of the counties.
He favored as in Kent, three
member Levy Court, and that taxes
be collected without so much eX-
pense as is now provided by law,
a most unbusiness-like procedure is
followed whereby the district tax
/ collector (and there are 10 of them,
y 1 believel mails out tax bills to
property owners in his district and
upon receipt of payment makes re-
mittance to the receiver of taxes
and county treasurer. Surely 1t
would be more desirable and less
expensive to have the county treas
urer responsible for the collection
of property taxes rather than 10
different men. This serves as an
excellent illustration of decentraliz-
ed control that has been passed
down by our forebears without be-
ing changed. Haven't we had il
long enough? Whatever the new
system adopted, it ought to be the
same in each of the counties in or
der that records, cost sheets and
accounts would be on a comparable
basis. This particular subject is
so important that the State could
well afford to supervise and pay
the cost of the work if the counties
would agree to have it done"
