SCORES HIT
Ely High School Orchestra
Breakfasts Excellent Pro-
gram from WCCO.

A concert Of unusual merit was
broadcast by the Ely High School Or
chestra. under the direction of Frank
DiNino, from Station WEBC Saturday
afternoon The program was one of a
series of weekly neighboring community
programs being sponsored by the
station.
All receivers in the city were tuned
in for the program which opened at
2:30 o'clock and everyone was loud IN
their praise Of the excellent arrange
meut and high quality Of the selections
rendered The opinion was generally
expressed, by music critics, that the
quality and completeness with which
the difficult selections were presented is
seldom attained by high school or
chestra and much credit is given the
director and students for their untiring
efforts to bring the organization to
such degree Of perfection
The program opened with an intro
ductory talk by the station announcer
IN which he gave brief description OF
L-Ag A44N4AAG1 GON1S&N44s

PUBLIC Waste
CAN BEST0PPED
Public Officials May be Held
Liable for Public Extrav-
agance, Court Rules.

Taxpayers now have a new and eff
fective weapon with which to prevent
graft and careless waste of public
money, under recent decision of the
Minnesota Supreme Court. The ruling
holds that the public official who is
responsible for excessive payment in
purchasing things for the city, county,
school district, or state, can be held
personally liable for the over-payment,
officials of the Minnesota Taxpayers
Association state
A case from St Louis County is in
volved IN the decision. Members of a
Board of Education had purchased lots
at $500. The question of purchase
had not been submitted to the electors
Of the district. Upon the property &C
quired, club house was erected by day
labor, at cost of $4,000. No bids
were advertised for
The Court held that the sale of land
was void since the cost Of the club
house exceeded by $3,315 what had
been determined as a reasonable cost.
Members of the school board were ruled
personally liable for the difference be-
tween reasonable cost and the actual
cost.
Installation of electric wiring in the
building was made also at a cost of
$807.05. The contracts involved two sep
arate jobs, and no bids were therefore
required. It was disclosed, however,
that reasonable cost for both jobs
should not exceed $500. The school dis
trict suffered loss of sz87, and, the
Court ruled that the school board menu
bers were personally liable for the Diff
ference between contract price and ac-
tual cost
Thus We have new Interpretation of
the responsibility Of a public official,
since official actions are based on the
reasonableness Of costs IN public buying.
Previously, there had been District
Court cases similar to this from st.
Louis county, in which it was decided
that no redress could be made to the
taxpayer for over-charges. except In
cases of proved graft, outside the
weapon that the voter could exercise at
the ballot box
Regardless Of whether there Is q
breach OF criminal law, public officials
can now be held, even for careless
waste IN tax spending. Ordinarily open
bidding IS required, where certain SUMS
are involved; yet, In cases where no
bidding IS necessary. the public Office
holder is held to strict accountability
when he participates IN the payment of
more money than the subject matter
Is reasonably worth" That he received
none Of this average" for himself does
not Tree him from responsibility. it il

the addition to the Thomas F. Bay

ment, to cost approximately $780,

AUTO INSPECTION
CAMPAIGN ENDS
Does the Official Inspection
Sticker Appear on Your
Windshield?
WILL CLOSE TONIGHT

The Fifth Official Car Inspection
Campaign Bulletin released by w.
D. Denney, Assistant Secretary of
State, indicates that to date 1866
cars have passed the inspection and
received the official windshield
sticker during the first four weeks
of the campaign. With more than
two-thirds of the inspection period
passed only fifty per cent of the
cars have been inspected. The dis
tribution of cars inspected by coun-
ties are as follows: New Castle
County, 14,082; Kent County,
4,127; Sussex County, 1857; num-
Der of vehicles inspected and ap-
proved from January 1 to July IS,
5000; State total, 26,666. Many
Delawareans evidently fail to real
ize that mechanical fitness plays
an important part in the reduction
of highway accidents and that ap-
proximately ten per cent of high
way accidents are due to faulty
mechanical equipment. Campaigns
of the car inspection type will not
make our State 100 per cent acci-
dent proof, of course, but if Della
ware can, by means of the motor
vehicle inspection, cut down or
wipe out the ten per cent Of its ac-
cidents due to faulty equipment
then it will have accomplished
something. Many Of the worn out,

HARVESTING CROPS IS STATE
Corn Crop Not So Heavy as Form
er Years Because of Weather

Lower Delaware farmers are
busy harvesting their fodder crop.
In most sections, it is stated, the
corn crop will not be as heavy as in
some former years, because of un-
favorable weather conditions at the
time it was reaching maturity Hot
suns and dry weather a few weeks
ago are said to be contributing
causes for a lessening of the yield
The fodder is said to be Of some
what inferior quality as compared
with former years. On some farms
the corn yield will be about up to
standard, especially in some sec
tions of Indian River and Lewes
and Rehoboth Districts.

Essolube, the only hydrofned oil, is
now available to every motorist at
the price Of ordinary motor oils.
This oil is a result of the great
INCORPORATION discovery. Hydro
genation of atmospheric nitrogen
was the chemical secret that en-
abled Germany to produce unlim-
tied quantities of explosives and
thus to carry on" years after the
experts considered her continued
struggle impossible.
Hydrofning, developed by the
Standard Oil scientists, is an ad-
vanced process which makes the
hydrogenation of motor oil COM
mercially possible.
Hydrofning gives Essolube all
the FIVE essential qualities for COM
plete fabrication.
Paraffinic oils have three of these
essential qualities. Naphthenic (As-
phaltic) oils have two of them.
