MISS EMMA &, DeLAMiTER
Aged 10

Few there be who remember this
lady who was once a well-knOwn
citizen of Milford, now residing in
New York State. and who March 8
1894, will celebrated her S9th birth
day anniversary. Her father was a
druggist in Milford fifty years ago
as a partner in the firm of FOulk &
DeLamater. Her present address is
Miss Emma G. LcLamater, 81 Fer
ry Street. BeacOme. New York-(it
was once known as Fishkill-on-the-
HudsOn).
If there should be any one living
here in Milford. or on the Del-Mar-
Va Peninsula. who remembers Miss
DeLamater. it would be a fine act
to write her letter, so that it will
reach her on or before March 3,
1884; just an act of good fellowship.
The writer of this item, Colonel
Theo. Townsend. of Milford, recalls
this fine woman, now in the shadows
OF old age. as fine type of woman
hood of our boyhood associates.

NEW STATE LAW CHECKS
GASOLINE BG0TLEGGINC

George 5. Williams, State Treas
urer, declares that the gasoline boot
| logger has been effectively check
mated through the close cooperation
between Delaware and neighboring
states.
'The result of this cooperation
and the check up on all gasoline
carriers on the highways and rail-
roads" Mr.. Williams says. lis
complete check of the source and
destination of all liquid fuels trav-
cling in Delaware boundaries.
Regardless of the size and meth
cd of shipments. the State Treasurer
knows definitely for the first time,
where the gasoline comes from and
where it goes. Consequently the
State has greater assurance that it
is obtaining their revenue from all
the gasoline it is entitled to tax and
had reason to believe that the rest
would be 'axed, in other states
where it went.
Under the new motor fuel tax
law which went into effect last July.
the Treasurer receives detailed re-
ports on Interstate shipments from
four adjacent states and furnishes
similar information to the same.
The Interchange of reports has thus
become one of the States most inn
portant weapons in its successful
fight against gasoline bOOtlegging.
