How those people that live close tc
the river can put up with these con-
ditions is more than I can under
stand.
The new sewer constructed in
1882, coming from the north along
the canal bank at this point, and
which crosses the canal at Butler
would if I understand it correctly
could take care of this condition.
But, the way things are, some one
has shot q big blunder in the way
of engineering and construction of
this sewer, for it certainly does not
do it. Conditions are worse than
before.
1t would be we'll for the members
of the board Of works to take trip
and investigate this, and correct
this evil-it surely needs it.

Another Complaint Against the Light Company

reached the office when that dirty
trick was done.
Now a neighbor and 1 each paid
cur part to have those poles put
in up to Sixteenth street when
Mr.. Evans ran the line, for which
I never got one dime back when
they were extended. Now I pay
So cents demand charge for some
thing I know nothing about and
IS cents if the bill is not paid in
ten days, and now 81 to have them
turn it on again. The same thing
over again-the poor will pay.
I should have known when this
company took it over what to eX-
pect, for have said nobody could
have been fairer than the South
eastern when they had control of
this line out east. They believe in
live and let live.

Love Is a Spark
BY HARRIETT SCOTT oLINICK

BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK
Though I travel new roads and seek
new faces
Since you are gone;
Though I make of my life a gay,
heartless vacuum.
1t will not matter long.
Though I develop new whins and
behave capricious,
No matter, my dear.
Though I cry I am happy to others
unhappy.
You need not fear.
For my life is the Quilted end Of a
candle
Pickering in dark.
When you return I shall know what
love is:
A divine spark.

FINDS ROCKY RIPPLE

Rv Old-Time Fisherman.

BY Time Fisherman.
I am fisherman. The reason
for writing this article is to COM
plain, or, in other words, raise HI
about the conditions of the river
in the vicinity of Rocky Rippls, one
of the pest fishing places for bass
in Indiana. A sewer empties at this
point about Fifty-Fourth street, a
little below the Riviera club.
The filth and dirty water that
come from this is something ter
rible. This filth contaminates the
water downstream beyond North
western avenue pr Michigan Road.

FORD AUTO PRICES REDUCED
Reduction of $40 to SIS For New
Ford V-8 Models

Reductions of $40 to SIS in list
prices of 1884 Ford VS. passenger
cars and $40 to $50 in list prices
of Ford VS. commercial cars and
trucks were announced last week by
the Ford Motor Company effective
Friday, June Is. Ford prices had
remained unchanged since the in
PRODUCTION of the 1884 Ford VS.
last December, the Ford Motor
Company not having participated
in the recent general automotive
price increase. The reductions an
nounced are, therefore, a decrease
in the original prices. The price
reduction on the standard and de
luxe Tudor Sedans, most popular
individual models in point of sales,
is SIS. Prices of other standard
and de luxe body types were re-
duced $40 except prices of the
Roadster, Phaeton and Cabriolet,
de luxe types, which remain un-
changed. Both standard and de
luxe passenger cars have the same
VS. engine and 112 inch wheelbase
chassis. Body types for both are
identical except for the de luxe
equipment.

FINISH WATER
FOWL SURVEY
Survey Made to Determine
How Delawareans Would Re-
act to 3 Changes in Law
PIT EXPRESSED OPINIONS

Results of a Statewide water
fowl survey conducted by the Del
aware Game and Fish Protective
Association, in which 217 Della
wareans expressed opinions, show
the following in the order in which
the questions appeared on the
QUESTIONABLE: Seventy-seven per-
cent do not believe rest days a con-
servative measure; II per cent do
not believe a longer open season
with rest days would create more
business than a 60-day conserva-
ton season, including Sundays; Y
per cent believe rest days or furth-
er restricted hours of hunting
would cause law violations worthy
of consideration; 78 per cent would
not permit the hunting of water
fowl for a longer season with suf-
f1cient rest days to make the hunt
ing season conform with the 60
day season last prescribed; SO per
cent do not approve of further re-
stricted hunting hours instead of
sunup to sundown; 50 per cent
either approve of feeding or do not
presently approve of any change in
feeding regulations. OF these
opinions 81 per cent came from %
towns outside of Wilmington, the
five with the largest total being
Newport, 21; Lewes, 18; Harring-
ton, IS; Dover, II; Newark, TO-
The survey was intended to de-
termine how Delawareans would
react to three major changes in

REQUESTS
CEMENT BE
USED AT FORT PECK

Acting upon information that a
bid will be opened in Kansas City
soon for eight hundred thousand
barrels of cement to be used on
the Fort Peck dam, Governor
Frank H. Cooney has written Har-
old L. Ickes, secretary Of interior,
stating that he believes this bust
ness should be placed with Mon
tana manufacturers if their bids
are as low or nearly as low as the
other bidders.
Coal miners, cement plant en-
ployees and railroad men in Mon
tana will be greatly benefited if
Montana firms get this business
which the governor believes be-
longs here, he told Ickes. Mon
tana has, the governor wrote, two
large cement plants which have
been shut down for some time but
which could start operating should
they receive the order, giving en-
ployment to about $50 men for
five years. 1t would take about
$4,000 tons of coal to manufacture
the cement and this would give
employment to a great number of
Montana coal miners. The coal
and cement would have to be
hauled distances up to 400 miles,
with resultant benefit to Montana
railroad men. The governor furth-
er pointed out that Montana
would receive about $34, 900 taxes
on the coal and cement.
The governor sent copies of the
letter to Senators Erickson and
Wheeler so that they might be in
a position to help Montana get
this business.
