Smyrna's water tower, better
known as the stand pipe, situated
on west Commerce street near the
Smyrna R. r. Station, has received
a fresh coat of paint inside and
out. The inside had not been
painted in years if ever painted,
and in order to preserve 1t from
rust and leaks, the inside was
painted with a special paint. For
few days water takers, especial
iy those residing near the stand
pipe. were subjected to the taste
as well as the smell of paint in
their drinking water. The paint
used contained no harmful chem
icals and was perfectly safe,
though unpleasant. Council order
ed the standpipe emptied and filled
again and the taste soon cleared
up. The outside of the standpipe
is being painted aluminium, a hard
wearing, weather resisting paint,
its glistening surface sparkling In

INTER STATE MILK
PRODUCERS MEET
E. HI. Donovan, Well Known
Smyrna Farmer, effected
a Director of Association
LOCAL DAIRYMEN THERE

Mr.. and Mrs. E. H Donovan,
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Deakyne,
Mr. Benjamin Hurlock, were those
from the Smyrna-Clayton district
who attended last week the 10Th
annual meeting of the Interstate
Milk Producers Association at
Elks Hotel, Philadelphia. Owing
to the fight for a better market
price for milk, dairymen were
there to the number of a thousand
or more, which in aggregate repre-
sented about 62,800 cow population
in the Philadelphia Milk Shed. The
bitterest fight was centered on the
election of directors and on some
problems having to do with sani-
tary milg production regulations.
These were "ironed OUT, it is said,
to the satisfaction of a majority of
the producers. E. H. Donovan,
Smyrna's well known farmer. was
reelected a director from Della
ware and a new director elected
was H. w. Cook of New Castle
County near Wilmington. Mr..
Donovan had the additional honor
Of being named a member of the
Eecutive Committee of the Asso-
citation. The meeting had some
able addresses on various phases
Of the milk question, some Of
which clarified the situation and
gave producers a better under
standing, where before the efforts
Of the Association were misunder-
stood.

HALL
AT DOVER READY
New Building Erected To Be
Occupied By Legislature
Next Month
MEMBERS GET NEW DESK

The Delaware General Assembly
when it convenes next month,
January 8, at Dover, will meet in
the new State House for the first
time. The present legislative build
ing has been in use for a century
All the desks and chairs in both
the House and Senate halls were
removed Friday, each member Of
the new Assembly having desk
and chair donated to him by the
State under a resolution adopted
at the special session. The Repre-
sentative Hall, used for both the
Delaware Senate and the House of
Representatives before 1897, will
be occupied by the Library Com
mission. The Senate chamber will
be used by the titling division of
the Motor Vehicle Department.
The Senate chamber addition to
the old State House was built in
1896 and was first occupied by the
constitutional convention held
from January, 1897, to June 4,
1897, when the Constitution was
adopted. The officers of the State
treasurer, State auditor and Secre-
tary of State and the Governors
parlors on the first floor, will re-
main practically as they are in the
old building. The office of the in
surance commissioner and the Su-
preme Court room will also re-
main as they are. There seems to
be some question as to what will
become of the two famous paint
ings of Stanley M. Arthurs, one
having been on the wall of the Sen
ate chamber, Delaware Soldiers
