The almost historic combination
Of Delaware, New Jersey and Penn

administration, is now broken into
two districts.
Delaware and New Jersey are to
be made into one district and Penn

This is part of the Treasury De-

Although Federal agents operat-

Faced with the prospect of a
duck-hunting season next fall of
only 80 days. half the usual number
of days, the gunners of this section.
at least, it is said, will be content if
permitted to shoot wildfowl three
days 4 week for ten weeks.
That is the will of the great ma
jority of duck-hunters in this sec
tion. Moreover, if permitted three
days a week, they wish them to be
Thursdays. Fridays and Saturdays.
The limiting of the season this
year to 80 days is the recommended
tion of the Advisory Board, Migra-

Speaking of Milford, the report

Vacancy Survey
Vacancies in Milford we're very

Reports from the cantaloupe

and transportation of cantaloupes
which do not contain a minimum of
8 per cent sugar content. This re-
quirement does not mean that the
cantalOupes must be ripe. for the
law recognizes that cantaloupes
must be picked so as. to reach the
market in the proper maturity; but
the law does intend that all canta-

Duties of Trusteeship
In Foreclosure
Sales Rigid

A recent opinion of Distric
Supreme Court Justice oscar r.
Luhring in a suit for deficiency
judgment after foreclosure holds
that legal requirements of the
trustees to sell the property at its
fair value in a competitive auction
must be strictly observed.
The Wardman Real Estate In
vestment Corporation, plaintiff,
had sued Luther F. Murphy, a
District fireman and his wife, for
deficiency. Joseph D. Sullivan,
appearing for the Murphys
claimed:
"The pretended sale was made
in violation of the duties of the
trustees to sell the property at
its fair actual value, and did not
represent the fair actual value
of the land and premises
secured under said deed Of trust,
which were of q much greater
value. and the alleged de-
ficiency has no existence in fact
and cannot be the basis Of q
judgment against these defend
ants" ...
Second Defense In Equity
A second defense, described as
an equity plea, was interposed in
the case, and described the entire
transaction. Mr.. Murphy pur-
chased the property April l, 1880,
from two alleged dummy
holders of the title who, it is al
legged, were employees of the corp
grafton, for the sum Of $7,150.
represented by a first. trust of
$500 and a second trust of $3,47O
payable at the rate of $3.50 per
month.
The defendants voluntarily
paid a total sum of $50 monthly
for interest on the first trust and
interest and curtail on the sec
ond trust.
When the first trust matured,
it was agreed that the total pay
ments would be increased to $50
per month to cover renewal
charges and this amount was
paid up to July l, 1882, when
the defendants salary was de-
creased $25 a month under the
economy act. The trustees un-
der the second deed of trust,
who were officials of the plain
tiff corporation, refused to &C.
cept the defendants proposal
