There was no confusion in caring

State Highway Department on July

eral Assembly, all of the roads OF
the State. Road improvements are
moving on Just the same as if moth

Loud protests went up from all

measure was before the legislature,
but since the law was enacted and
the dirt roads have passed into the

There are but few changes in the

100000 SURPLUS
Pay Rolls And Bills Are
All Paid; 100000 Loan
Refunded.
TAXES ARE REDUCED
Financial Record Believed
Unequaled BY Any
Other State.

With a threatened deficit in the
general fund confronting the State
last winter prior to the converting
Of the General Assembly, Delaware
has succeeded, largely through the
enactment of new fiscal laws at the
recent legislative session, IN ending
the fiscal year. June 30, not only
with a balanced budget, but was
able to start the new fiscal year last
Monday with a surplus Of approxi-
mately 100000 in the State treas-
try. II is claimed few II any other
states in the Union have q record
equal to this.
Notwithstanding economic condi-
tions Of the last four years, Della
ware has paid all Of its bills and
has met all Of its payrolls when
they we're due. Counties, cities and
towns have done likewise. and there
have been no reductions in the
working forces of the State. county
and municipal governments.
When Governor C. Douglass Buck
was asked about the budget surplus
he said: Yes, the budget was bal
anced. and there will be shown a
surplus Of something like 100000
after all bills for the last fiscal
year have been paid" He was not
sure Of the exact amount.
The general fund, which finances
the operation of the State govern
ment. except the highway and edu-
cational departments, Will have a
balance, after all bills have been
paid, of more than 100000. and
there win be balances Of several
hundred thousand dollars in the ed
ucational and highway funds.

W. S. TODD NAMED TO

Long Deadlock Broken When New
Levy COuFtmRn Is Sworn Into Office

After wrangling for several
months, the Sussex County Levy
Court broke a long deadlock and
named William S. Todd, of Green
wood, to be member of the Board
OF Assessment for a six year term.
The election of Mr.. Todd came
within a few hours after Herman d.
johnson, of Milford, the newly-ap-
pointed member of the Levy Court
took office. For months past the
Levy Court had been at lOggerheads
over the naming of a Board of AS
sessment member to succeed J. RO-
land Buell., who resigned last Febru-
airy. With the late Edgar M. Baylis.
a, Levy Court member, i'll at his
home an impasse was arrived at
when the two remaining members
sponsored rival candidates for the
job. Levy CourLman Bishop for
months backed Harvey Wolfe, of
Laurel, for the place; while Wilmer
Steele, Of Ocean View, was support
ed by Levy Courtman Bunting. With
the death of Mr.. Baylis and the
naming Of Captain johnson, of Mil
ford, last week, things were rapid
ly brought to a head.
The newly-appointed Levy Court
man, who was chosen by Governor
Buck as man who has been a
steady Republican without radical
factional affiliations, after assuming
office refused to vote for either of
the two men whose names had been
before the body for months. With
this situation confronting them, Mr..
Bishop nominated William S. Todd,
Of Greenwood. but Mr.. Bunting
stood fast on Mr.. Steele. The cleo

Quite Comeback
BY winning, the Techmen made
a decided comeback in the series.
They are now only one game be-
hind the defending champions,
Eastern, for first-place honorS,
which honors they hope to clutter
up more by defeating the Lincoln
Parkers Friday in what will be
the feature contest of the series
that day.
Western defeated Roosevelt,
33-17, in the other game yester-
day. The Westerners took the lead
at the outset and held it through
out the 40 minutes, despite flares
by the Rough Riders on occasions.
This triumph also kept the George.
townerS in the thick of the fight
for top honors.
Like Tech, they are within one
game of Eastern with two victories
as against one loss. They play
Central Friday. A victory will
keep them as a dangerous con-
tender for the crown-a situation
that will not make them angry at
all, despite the confusion and ex,
citement that will naturally be
part of the series after that.
