GOVERNOR HINTS
VETOAWAITS ANY
TREASURY RAIDS
Says He Will Keep Spe-
cial Session To Pur-
poses Of Call.
FLOOD OF MEASURES
Republican Senate Back
ing Chief Executive AL
so Seen AS Bar.

Il propose to keep the business of
the coming special session of the
General Assembly within the con-
fines of the purposes for which it
was called in this emergency" de-
clared Governor c. Douglass Buck
when interviewed at his home Sun
day night, regarding reports the ses-
sion will be deluged with bills of all
descriptions.
Many bills planned for presenta-
tion, it is reported, constitute moth
ing more than bold bid to raid the
State treasury, a step strongly op-
posed by, present administration
leaders. In light of the Governors
statement it is taken for granted
that such attempts would only re-
suit in bringing about use of the
executive veto or defeat in the Re-
publican controlled Senate, leaders
of which are understood TO be solidly
back of the Governor III confining
the special session legislation to the
purpose of the call.
The harm done would be largely
in dragging out the session for 80
days or more, when normally, if re-
stricted to the business outlined, it
could be adjourned, it is said, with
in few days, thus saving taxpay-
ers' money.
Faced with the necessity of legis-
lative action in order that the State
and its various county and munich
pal units, may obtain the benefits of
the Public Works Administration

FUNDED DEBT
OF DELAWARE
IS $l,949,46S.45
Report Shows Expendi-
lures Exceeded Income
Last Year.
ASSETS NOW $5S,959,S65
Total Receipts For The
Year Going To General
Fund Were $3,878,5O4.
ASSETS NOW $58,959,365

On June 80 of this year the total
net funded debt of Delaware was s1,-
949, ,46S.45. This is shown in the re-
port of State Auditor ]. Henry
Hazel, for the year ending that date.
The total net funded debt on June
30, 1882, is shown in the report to
have been S2,035, 1885, it having
been reduced by about $4,000 during
the year.
The total assets of the State on
June 80 this year were $58, 1853, ,365-
81, compared with s59,997, ,01s.29,
June 80, 1882. These assets are
made up of such items as cash in all
funds, SS,9S5,461 current taxes re-
ceivable, S2,793,640; accounts re-
ceivable, accrued interest, invest
ments and stores which with the
cash and taxes receivable total $14,-
0S7,S41.32; public lands, S95,000; i'm
proved highways, s19,127,050 land
and buildings including schools, etc,
S22,759,180; equipment, s2,S90,293.
The report shows a drop of about
S4,000,000 in total cash on hand
compared with the previous year
ending June 30, 1882. Another
striking item in the report is the
fact that the expenditures in ex-
cess of the income for the year was
slightly over S4,000,000 and for the
previous year the expenditures were
in excess of the income by about
S2,500,000. These figures would in
dicate that during the last two years
the state expenditures have been
going heavy into the surplus and
Governor Buck has pointed out on
several occasions that it is essen
tial to reduce expenditures or all
surplus will soon be wiped out. The
expenditures over income the past
year even including the transfer of
funds was considered over $3,000.-
600.
The report gives this interesting
statement as to where the state in-
come for the past year came to all
funds excepting the sinking fund as
follows:
Taxes, $s,11s,556.27; interest on
bank deposits, $212, 2,939.7S; earnings
on investments, $S4,715.20; grants
and donations, s906, 6,6S6.45; licenses,
$3.50, 1875; fees, $1,26S,245.42; per-.

IN SLAUGHTER NECK
Flames Consume Dwelling And Out
buildings OF Charles Ingram

During the absence of the family
on. Saturday evening fire of unde-
termined origin completely Quilted
the brick home of Charles Ingram,
five miles south of Milford. Mr.. In
gram and family were in Milford at
the time of the alarm and had not
been home since early afternoon. 1t
was only through the heroic efforts
of the Carlisle Fire Company which
on arrival at the scene went into
action with chemicals, no water be-
ing available, that any of the build
ings were saved. The house has for
years been a landmark in Slaughter
Neck. The loss was about $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.
According to members of the To-
cal fire company, children playing
with matches were responsible for
the conflagration on Monday. morn
ing in a barn owned by the Milford
Trust Company on Truitt avenue.
The fire was discovered by passer-
by who turned in an alarm. The
blaze was extinguished without

ORDERS SSALE OF
SCHOOL HOUSES
Education Board Ais o
Gets Report On Two
Consolidation Elections.

Business Manager ]. o. Adams
was given authority by the State
Board of Education at it's meeting
last Thursday to proceed with the
sale of a number of unused and
abandoned school buildings in all
three counties of the state. Several
other important school matters were
decided at the meeting including the
granting of authority to condemn a
site for the new school at Bear sta
ton.
In conjunction with the action on
the abandoned schools reports con-
solidation elections showed that in
the poll on combining Ellis Grove
with Laurel, 3S were against the
move as against Is for it. On the
proposal to consolidate Salem with
Christiana eight favored the merger
and none voted against it.
The board granted the appeal
of the Mt. Pleasant School District
for the certification of Miss Emma
McLane, teacher, who was refused
a certificate upon her return to Del
aware after a period of teaching in
Pennsylvania. The situation was
explained and the board reinstated
her and she will resume teaching
next week.
A request was made by the Milford
Special School District for an ad-
ditional allotment for pumping water
and storage facilities and a fence
around the property. State Super
intendent H. v. Holloway, secretary
of the board, was instructed to get
further information and report at

SMALLER NUMBER In
NEED OF RELIEF
Delaware Commission Says Con-
ditiOns Are Improving

Figures presented to the State
Temporary Emergency Relief Com
mission, showing the way in which
direct relief has been reduced in
Delaware, although there are still
10000 persons receiving aid through
state funds now, have been very
gratifying.
The number of families who have
been receiving relief through state,
and national monies, show that Del
aware relief work has shown a
gradual lowering compared to the
United States as a whole.
In March of this year there were
4,560,000 families receiving relief
throughout the country as compared
with $4,000 on August 1. In Del
aware there were 1884 families re-
ceiving relief in March as compared
with 1900 in August. The peak
month both nationally and in Del
aware was March.
However comparing Delaware
with the nation, from January to
the present time, there is not a
great difference. In January the ma
tion was giving relief to 3,S50,000
families. Up to August the number
in the nation had been reduced to
3,510,000 families. In Delaware the
number on the rolls in January was
5000 families as compared with A.
900 in August. This year is the first
time that relief figures nationally
have been available, but in Del
aware the figures are available for
the past three years.

the relief work in Wilmington from

TIME NOW FOR SEED
WHEAT TREATMENT
Kent County Agent Gives InfOrma-
ticn About Handling Seed.

AS it is nearing the wheat seed
ing period, farmers should be Civ
ing careful consideration to the
treatment of the seed which they
are planning to SOW this fall if they
expect to harvest a clean crop of
wheat next summer, is the advice
which has been sent to all wheat
growers in Kent county recently
from the office of County Agent Rus
sell e. Wilson who has been working
on this seed wheat treatment pro-
gram for the past eight years.
One of the greatest losses to the
wheat crop in Delaware, and in
other sections of the United States,
in previous years has been attribut-
ed to the stinking smut which has
resulted in heavy dockage on the
market, so about this time each year

Jester, vice grand; Paul Fisher, as

ICE AND SNOW FOUND
BURIED UNDER DUNES

Beneath S0-foot high sand
dunes flanking Cape Henlopen,
excavators said they recently
struck a layer of ice and snow
buried, they believe, by the
shifting sands of many winters
ago. The frequent northeast
winds have built these sand
hills so high that the ice lay
ers remained untouched by
the broiling suns that bake
the SUBMITS each summer, it
was said.
On one of these dunes lies
the wreckage of the old Cape
Henlopen lighthouse, built by
the British Colonial Govern
ment on a grant of land from
William Penn, which was then
a pine forest. Sand drifting
westward from the ocean
shore had completely sub
merged the forest when the
old lighthouse fell in 1926.
