HAVOCN MILFORD
City Manager And Staff
Commended For Work
During Severe Storm.

In Milford, the storm uprooted
trees in all sections of the city. In
several places streets were blocked
where large trees have been blown
across them. For several hours
early Wednesday afternoon the cleo
trio lights were off due to poles
down and trees across wires. Two
dams, one at Blair's Mill Pond and
one at Griffith's Pond were washed
away and passage over the cause
ways at these places was curtailed.
The, water from the overlooking
Mispillion River caused much dam
age in the l.. d. Caulk Company's
basement and to the L. N. Hearn
lumber yard, whose lower yards
were completely covered with wat
ter. In many sections of the city
houses were completely stripped of
their screens and shutters and avn
ings were torn to shreds. Ga
The City Manager and his staff
of workers deserve special commen-
dation for their work during the
storm. They were busy continuous
ly repairing wires or poles or clean
ing up streets to keep them open to
traffic. Fortunately, no injuries
were reported here during the
storm.

COST OF JAILING TRAIN
RIDERS IRKS TAXABLES
Eight Train Riders In Jail At
Georgetown For Five Days

Freight train riding is a violation
of the law, but at the same time il
is an expensive proposition to tax
payers of Sussex county, when they
are arrested and incarcerated in the
county Jail. Therefore, the Sussex
County Levy Court Commissioners
is being urged to curb officers of the
county in making arrests of this
character.
Most of the arrests take place in
the western section of the county.
None are made in the central sec
ton. In this vicinity there are al
most as many violations as any sec
tion.
Eight train riders, William Brad
ley, John Jorden, William Smith,
Wesley Stubb, Ike Williams, Frank
Howard, George Wade and John
Scanion, all wanderers, are now in
the Jail at Georgetown for five days,
having been arrested by Railroad
Detective Miles Fitzgerald, of Del
mar, and committed by Magistrate
William H. Aydelotte, of that town.
The board of each for five days
amounts to $1.25 or twenty-five cents
per day. The cost in each case
amounts 1920. Thus it costs the
taxables of the county $3.50 for the
eight prisoners to carry in Jail at
for five days.
Taxpayers of the county are in
dignant, over the matter, since it
has been going on for many weeks.
The argument is advanced by the
taxables that they have all they can
do to pay their taxes and make both
ends meet, and that it. is squander-
ing money to make such arrests, es-
pecially when trainriders are COM
ing from the north and strike Del
mar, town on the dividing line be-
tween Maryland and Delaware. 1t is
that as long as they are
leaving the State there is no reason
for piling up expenses on the county.

After August 81, Cars Not
Having Been Inspected
Barred From Road.
MILTON NEXT WEEK

Charles II. Grantland, Secretary
of State, has received reports COW
ering the inspection and approval
of more than $500 automobiles dur
ing the week ending August 18th.
During this period a total number
of $3.50 cars were rejected. Accord
ing to the latest statistics more
than $1,000 automobiles have re-
ceived the Official Windshield Ger
tificate during the first twenty-five
days of the Car Inspection Cam
paign.
The Inspection Lanes throughout
the State are not operating to ca
pacity and motorists who have not
complied with the State Safety Law
should take advantage of this slack
period and also avoid and help elm
mate a last minute inspection rush.
Several changes have been made
in the itinery of the New Castle,
Kent and Sussex County Inspection
Lanes. In New Castle county in
spection equipment will be installed
at Middletown August "a to 26, in
elusive, and at Hollyoak from Aug
ust 2S to 81. In Kent county the
Lane will visit Greenwood August
"a to 26 and will reappear in Dover
August 2S to 81. In Sussex county
the Lane will be installed at Milford
today and tomorrow and at Milton
from August 2S to 81.
Throughout the inspection period
the Safety Lanes have proven to be
an extremely practical and success
full medium for determining the
working ability of automobile safe
ty devices. Within very few min
utes after the motorists arrival at
Safety Lane he is given an-aecurate
diagnosis of the functioning of his
automobiles headlights, brakes,
horn, windshield wiper, mirror,
emergency brake, tires and steering
gear. If this fundamental is in nor

is given an official sticker which is
visual evidence of the car having
been inspected and approved. On

MOVING TENANTS
TO GET BENEFITS
Will Receive Federal Pay
ments If They Planted
1888 Wheat Crop.

Farm tenants who planted wheat
for the 1888 crop will be eligible for
benefit payments under the govern
ment wheat plan even though they
move this fall.
M. L. Wilson, wheat production
chief for the farm administration,
today called attention to this pro-
vision of the plan, which is now the
center of a campaign through the
wheat producing areas during which
farmers are being asked to sign con-
tracts to reduce their aereages for
harvest in 1884 and 1885.
"The administration is beginning
a three-year wheat reduction plan
and the payment this fall is for the
1888 CROP" Wilson said Mature did
the reducing this year, providing the
smallest wheat crop in years. The
plan will. help farmers in the next
two years to hold the gains made
this year.
"The problem of tenants is fairly
simple where tenants remain on the
same farm. In that case the land
lord and tenant agree to reduce
acreage and the payment is divided
between them according to the share
each gets of the crop.
1.-THE big problem arises when the
tenant is moving from the farm this
fall as some will do. In that case
the payment for 1888 must be di-
vided between the landlord and ten
ant who farmed the land in 1888.
For example, if tenant has 320
acres of wheat in 1888, his share is
two-thirds of the crop under his
lease and his average annual pro-
