dence last Thursday, March 6,
from an heart attack He had been
suffering with angina pectoris for
a number of years but kept going
until the sudden attack of Wednes-
day, the day before his death. The
passing of w. A. Broadway takes
one of the good men of Severson's
Neck. Besides his connection with
old Severson's Church (now con-
solidated with Asbury, Smyrna) he
was for 33 years chairman of the
Board of Directors of Bayview
School District and his interest and
pleasant dealings made him popu-
lar with both parents and teach
ers. He was also member of
Stars and Stripes Council, No. 26,
of the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics of Smyrna.
Mr.. Broadway was a son of the
late William M. Broadway, G. A.

ELECTION PERFUNCTORY

At the Middletown town election
held last week only "a ballots were
cast, and Messrs. C. c. Hopkins
and c. Douglas Appleby were re-
elected councilmen. They were
both unopposed. This will be Mr..
Hopkins third term on the council
and Mr.. Appleby's first full term.
Mr.. Appleby was elected to coun-
Gil last Fall to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Benjamin
T. Biggs. The other members of
Council are Messrs. Herbert I. Phil
lips and P L. McWhorter, Jr. The
fiscal statement of the Mayor and
Council indicates steady improve
ment in the town financial condi-
tion Although receipts from all
sources. not including the Light
and Water Department which is
operated as separate unit, were
almost 800 less than in 1884, the
total bank balance in all accounts
increased from S42,25O10 at the
end of the 1934-1935 fiscal period to
SAG, ,974.43 at the end of the present
period During 1885 the bonded in
debtedness of the town was reduc-
ed from $4,000 to $4,000. Un-
paid taxes total s2,592, 20. while the
1884 statement showed an unpaid
balance of S3,718.12. Street i'm
provements costing S1,105.10 were
made. The statement of the Light
and Water Department, of which
c. Douglas Appleby is superintend-
ent, shows an increase in receipts
from lighting although two reduc-
tions were made during the year
which were estimated to save con-
sumers approximately $4,000.

BILLING ON MUSKRAT SEASON
state Attorney General Green Says
Season Expires March 31st

Attorney General +. warren
Green ruled Monday that the
muskrat open season in New Castle
county extends to March 81 this
wear. His opinion was sent to
Chief Game Warden Clarence S.
Foster, of the Board of Game and
Fish Commissioners in response to
Mr.. Fosters request for a ruling
to clear up doubt created by a con-
fict of dates in the act of the last
General Assembly. Some persons
had contended the law applied only
to last year. The regular closing
date is March 10. 1T is my opin-
ion" wrote Mr.. Green, that from
a construction of the entire act it
is lawful to catch and kill musk
rats on embarked meadows in New
Castle county 10 and including
March 81, of the year 1886" He
added that it was apparent a mis-
take had been made in recording
the extension.
