State Industrial Recovery
Board Approves of Sum of
100000 for Construction
MAY ERECT MORE UNITS

With the public works planned
under Delaware's share of S28,-
COS, $40 announced by the Nation
al Industrial Recovery Board,
sum of 81, 1,374 1872 as the building
program has been approved by the
State Industrial Recovery Commits
sion. OF this a fund of 100000
was approved for additional con-
struction at the State Welfare
Home, Smyrna The last LegisIa-
ture as well as Governor Buck was
unable to allow an expenditure for
continuing the building work on
account of the State Treasury fin
ances. At that time many favor
ed bond issue to take care Of the
work but Governor Bucks known
attitude against issuing Of bonds,
prevented any further effort to get
an appropriation. Now comes the
offer of the Federal Government.
At a meeting held in Dover yes
terday the commission approved a
proposal for additional construc-
tion az the Old Age Welfare Home,
Smyrna, totalling $500,000 and in
Guiding three guest porches at
SS5, 900 each; a recreation and ser
vice building, and extra boiler,
laundry, garage and permanent
kitchen. This project would be
ready to start in one month and
would furnish 347,472 man hours
of labor. If the State Welfare
Commission can find way for the
State to finance this, it will mean,
it is said, that three additional
buildings can be constructed which
are badly needed to relieve what
promises to be congested situa-
tion at the start with no provision
to take care of the future. Two
buildings, the Medical Center and
the Pavilion, are about completed
and are expected to be turned over
to the commission about the fif-
teenth of this month. The trans
fer of the poor will take place on
or before September the first. It
was at first thought the New
Castle unit would take care of all
the buildings built, but an effort
will be made by doubling up and
using every available space, to
bring the Kent County and Sussex
County poor units to Smyrna at
the same time. This matter is be-
ing worked out and as soon as
DIR. GiIIihand. the new superintend-
ent. arrives on his job, the matter
of taking care of all the counties
will be definitely decided.

PROJECTS FOR
STATE TALKED
State Industrial Recovery
Commission Holds Meet
ing at Dover
SMYRNA SCHOOL WING

The State Industrial Recovery
Commission, meeting at Dover
Monday morning, approved con-
struction projects totalling S1,374,-
382 for the NRA program and will
recommend to the Federal COM
mission for Delaware that they be
started Immediately. In addition,
the commission approved the en-
tire S1O,s31 900 Federal public
works program proposed for Della
ware, including improvements to
the Chesapeake and Delaware Can
al, construction of harbor at
Lewes, construction of the propos-
ed Wilmington post office and i'm
provements to Fort DUPONT. Of
the total of 81, ,374, 1882, in the pro-
jects approved, s674,382 would be
financed up to 70 per cent by the
State or its political subdivisions.
with the remaining 30 per cent
coming from the Federal Govern
ment as an outright NRA gift.
So far as Smyrna is concerned, we
give in another column what is
proposed for this State Welfare
Home. In addition to this S225,-
600 it is said, has been apportioned
to Smyrna to be yet acted upon by
the local and State School Boards,
thru the National Industrial Re-
covery Commission. Under such
a sum, if it can be financed. Smyr-
ma Special District Schools would
have another wing built from the
new School Building, similar to the
addition added two years ago. This
wing would furnish more class
roomsnow badly needed. The COM
mission also approved an S83, 900
public works program for Dover,
to furnish 100000 man hours of
labor and including building and
paving new streets and the con-
struction of a sewage system.
Many of the projects were contain
ed in the exhaustive report pre-
sented at the commissions first
meeting by its secretary, Gerrish
Gassaway, N. r. A. industrial di-
rector for Delaware. Also approx
ed was the proposal to spend $50
600 for reforestation work in Del
aware, the States share of the
money to come from the present or
future relief funds. It is planned
to improve 5000 acres under this
program and to use 200 men from
the forestry corps as well as so
local men. The commission also
approved construction of a sewage

LIBERAL TERMS MADE

A special session of the State
Legislature to pass on Delaware's
participation in the public works
phase Of the National Recovery
program will undoubtedly be called
soon, it developed yesterday. This
followed approval Monday by the
Governors Special Industrial Re-
covery Commission, Of $1,374,382
in construction projects for the
State under the public works title
of the Industrial Recovery Act.
Meanwhile yesterday the industrial
phase of the recovery program
reached the Wilmington public di-
rectly as the blue eagle NRA in
sigma appeared in stores and the
blanket code went into effect. Ger
rish Gassaway, MIRA industrial di-
rector for Delaware, said he found
the Wilmington public solidly be-
hind the blanket code on the first
day. He said the Chamber of
Commerce had received reports
from department stores that many
customers would not make pur-
chases unless first assured that the
store was a member of the NRA.
Governor Buck has not yet an
nounced that he would call the spe-
cial session, but persons close to
the State administration, as well
as men most active in advancing
Delaware's cause in the recovery
program, are confident he will do
so, especially in view of the COM
missions action. Inasmuch as the
Roosevelt administration is aiming
at getting the public works pro-
gram into full swing by early
Autumn, it is believed the special
session will be called either this
month or early in September. 1t
is pointed out that a large number
of the projects which the State
commission has either approved or
is considering, would have to be
authorized by the State Legisla-
ture, however, attractive the fin
ancing terms offered

members and their guests. Objec-
tions, the statement says, have
been lodged against one-fifth of
the applicants. Where no objec-
tion occurred licenses were issued
if investigation of premises prom
ised satisfactory conditions in the
future. In other cases further in
vestigation was made before a de-
cision was made. Ninety per cent
of complaints related to former
illegal selling of liquor by the ap-
plicant. The commission has not
rated this cause alone as sufficient
for refusal of license. Those who
exercise the right to purchase beer
from licensed establishments pay
a State tax amounting to one
third of a cent per bottle of beer
or one-fifth a cent per glass. At
tention is called to the fact that it
is now a misdemeanor to buy beer
from any person not licensed to
sell; or to buy beer on days or
hours of the day forbidden by the
law, or to take whiskey or other
spirits into the dining room of
hotel or into a tavern. See official
advertisement on page 4.
