Front WIG. ROe's Residence
WAS FOUND ABANDONED

Miss Tiny" Severson's Ford
coach was stolen Saturday evening
between $50 and 7.3O from in
front of William G. Roe's residence
on South Main Street and was re-
covered after midnight, abandoned,
near the Tip Top Garage on the
Leipsic road The discovery was
made by Miss Helen Pawn and Mr..
Delaney Long who happened to be
driving along the Leipsic road and
saw the car. Stopping and max
ing an investigation, they found it
to be Miss Severson's car. The
latter had been working at the
store and had gone to Roe's to
have supper. Preparing to go back
to the store around 7.3O, she dis
covered the car gone When found,
the car was not damaged other
than being very muddy, without
any gas, the switch-key gone, and
the light on the dash board out
Despite the efforts of Smyrna po-
lice and State Highway cops to ap-
prehend the guilty parties, no clue
has been sufficient to make any ar
rests. Smyrna has been so appar-
emily free of auto thefts as COM
pared to other places, the an
nouncement that Miss Severson's
car had been taken, caused more or
less excitement all over town, es-
pecially among her friends.

STATE PROJECTS

Grading Work on Dual High
way to Smyrna and Other
Road Work Under Way
HARTLY-TOWNSEND JOBS

With the activity on the Dual
Highway Extension from Reynolds
Corner to Smyrna, now under way
by George & Lynch, contractors,
and the work on the macadam
bound road from Walkers School
House to Taylor's Bridge, also be-
ing done by George & Lynch, is
furnishing employment to con
siderable number who are kept
busy as open winter weather will
permit. The grading on the dual
road, the laying of culverts and the
moving of buildings, is being done
in sections, some work being done
as near to Smyrna as Armstrong IS
Corner. In addition to the road
work there is school grading work
at Townsend and Hartly, affording
jobs in these localities. The grad
ing work at Townsend is requiring
approximately 5000 man hours and
providing for about $1,000 in
wages. At Hartly there is also
5000 man hours work with about
$1,000 in wages. There is an adj
dition to this about $500 man hours
work installing a sewer installa-
ton for a negro school at Bridge
Vile This project will expend
$1,000 in wages for labor. The
largest job will be the grading job
at the William Penn High School
in New Castle, involving $4,000
man-hours, and an outlay in wages
totaling about S25, ,0OO It is hoped
to stretch this job through to
Spring. The next largest project
will be the Stanton School grading
work, requiring 27,OOO man-houfs,
with an expenditure of about SILL
900 in wages. The total of five
different projects in the State will
be approximately more than 49,
500 man-hours for completion, at a
cost of about $4,000, practically
the entire amount being paid in
wages to the workers, as tools,
equipment and materials can be
supplied from stocks used in previ
Gus work. The projects are to be
based entirely on manual labor,
there being no machine calcula-
tions in the set-ups for them. The
men will work every other week in
order to stretch the benefits

terday before large contingent of
| his home town friends and friends
and acquaintances all over the
State, besides the members of upper
house Of Delaware Legislature His
Smyrna friends occupied seats in
the front of the Senate Chamber
and gave him the glad hand and
loyal send off. His fellow mem

a few words what he termed as the
two-fold honor conferred upon

one of honor. The fact that he
was inducted into office by man

esteem for many years was consid-
cred another honor by him. He re-
ferred also to the honor of being
sworn in by Chief Justice Penne-
will. Lieutenant-Gover Corley
also spoke of the pleasant associa-
tions he has had with the members t
of the Senate Having known
