FAIR PROGRAM
SURPASSES ALL
PREVIOUS YEARS
Management Has Erected
Many New Buildings,
Enlarged Grounds.
MANY NEW EXHIBITS
Fair Will Open Monday
Night, July "a, With
Teter's Hell Drivers.

In making arrangements for the
Kent and Sussex Fair, the manage
ment has left nothing undone. The
program for the coming fair sur
passes that of any previous year.
The new eating houses and restaur-
ants are the greatest Improvements
that could happen to any fair, IN
fact, II is the only fair in the East
experimenting with this type Of eat
ing houses. All Of them are attrac-
tive stucco houses with concrete
floors, modern kitchens with run
ming water. This goes to show that
the first thought in the minds Of the
directors is serving their patrons
sanitary food in clean up-to-date
restaurants.
The grounds have been enlarged
and improved with new avenues,
trees, new electric lighting and new
buildings affording space for many
new exhibits this year. The Kent and
Sussex Fair, claims TO be one Of
Delaware's most powerful forces
recognizing no creed. no religion
and no politics. They recognize ey-
cry man alike, and the fair belongs
to the people Of Delaware and is the
spirit Of the community. In arrang-
ing for attractions this year they
have selected only the highest type
that can be appreciated by men, wo-
men and children alike.
Instead Of opening the fair on
Tuesday as in the past It will open
Monday night, July q with Lucky
Teter's He'll Drivers. This is one OF
the most spectacular and thrilling
automobile and motorcycle shows In
the United States they do every
thrilling stunt that is possible for
an automobile or motorcycle to do.
Due to the number Of cars that are
in this show It Is possible
for this show 20 Be given but once
q week, for their cars are damaged
SO badly during the show that It
takes almost week to re-condition
them.
Tuesday, the opening day Of the
fair, will have the honor. as usual,
of being Children's Day. A great

MANY STREAMS AND
PONDS FOUND UNSAFE
Bathing h Rarely Safe n Majority
OF Cases

Pollution is SO rife IL many OF
the ponds and streams Of the State
that bathing therein is rarely safe,
and in no case should q person
drink any of these waters without
sterilizing them, according to DR.. A.
C. Jost, Executive Secretary Of the
State Board of Health.
There have been several instances
in the past Of typhoid fever appar-
emily having been incurred from
bathing in polluted waters, either
through swallowing some OF the
bathing water, or through adherence
of filth to the hands and later trans
mission to the mouth. Il is partie-
ularly noticeable that typhoid. a
filth-borne disease, is most prevail
ent during the warm months when
more people are picnicking, camp
ing and bathing.
The American habit Of stream pol
luton, both with industrial and hui
man wastes, has been one Of the
most costly health lnenaces, as well
as depriving many beautiful bodies
OF water of their natural recreation
al advantages. Many rural streams
have been polluted with underground
seepage from nearby farm toilets
and barn yards.

KENT COUNTY HAS
HIGHESTTAXRATE
Rate Is Still Forty Cents
Despite Increase In AS
sessment.

The action Of the New Castle
County Levy Court last week. IN re-
ducing the tax rate Of that county
TO thirty-hve cents, leaves Kent
county with the highest tax rate IN
the State, since the rate IN Sussex
county was reduced to thirty-hve
cents some weeks ago.
The rate IN Kent county Is forty
cents and was not reduced this year
by the Democratic Levy Court Not
only did the Kent Levy Court con-
tinue the tax rate at the maximum
permitted by the law for the county,
but they also failed 70 pass on 20
the taxpayer the benefit Of an IN
crease IN the assessment.
The total assessment IN Sussex
county Is not much higher than the
total for Kent county and the in
crease in the assessment In the low
er county was about the same per-
centage as the increase in Kent
county, yet the Sussex county rate
was reduced ten cents.
Economy in government in the
upper and lower counties have made
these reductions possible and It has
been the contention Of the Kent
County Republican Committee that
some economies introduced in Kent
county would have made q reduc-
tion possible there.
Under the existing tax rates Of the
three counties a farm valued at five
thousand dollars will pay $3.50 more
tax in Kent county than Il viii In
either New Castle or Sussex coun-
ties.
The failure Of the Kent Levy
Court to effect economy in the
costs Of the county government, ana
follow this action with a reduction
IN the tax rate. will be one OF the
major issues in the county cam
paign this fall.
