ARMORY HERE
Local Post Condemns
Present Building, Sends
Out Resolutions.
DRIVE rs STARTED

The American Legion Post, No. 8.
of Milford. has begun an intensive
campaign for a new State Armory
in Milford for the headquarters Of
Battery F. 19Sth Coast Artillery, and
at a recent meeting passed resoIu-
tons condemning the present ar
mory and urging the next General
Assembly of Delaware to use every
effort to obtain a new armOry for
this battery.
Copies OF this resolution have been
sent to every member of the next
General Assembly. to the governor
elect, and other State officials.
Frequently Criticized
The present armory has been crit
icized in numerous inspections as
being very much out of date, and as
being in such a physical condition
that It is beyond economical repairs.
Agitations have been made for a
new Milford armory for several
years.
At the meeting of the legion last
Friday night the subject was intro
duced by Commander Archibald D.
Lank, and it was voted to pass a
resolution to be sent to those having
the authority to pass the necessary
appropriation. It also was agreed
that the legian should start an in
tensive campaign to bring about this
much needed improvement.
The Resolution Adopted
The following is the resolution in
trOduced and adopted:
Whereas; The armory located in
the city Of Milford, housing Battery
F, of the 198th Coast Artillery, Is
antiquated and in bad state Of re-
pair; and,

deserving of special mention is the
beautiful community Christmas tree
in the Plaza Square. Trimmed with
hundreds of colored lights the tree
itself illuminates the square. The

thousands of red and green lights
twined in miles of laurel, turn the

New Castle County Jobs

The speakership, as announced,
goes to New Castle, and John r.
Fader of Newark, is the nominee.
Other places allotted to this county
will be one of the House attorneys
and possibly the parliamentarian or
clerk to the speaker. This place
originally was given to Sussex
county but as it is considered more
or less of a personal appointment
because of the close associations the
speaker and his clerk will have dur
ing the session it is understood Mr..
Fader will be allowed to make the
selection. AS a result one of the
other places allotted to New Castle
will be turned over to Sussex. Other
places going to New Castle county
will be minor positions such as

Reynolds Will In
Baltimore Courts

The State Of North Carolina has
filed in the Circuit Court of Balti-
more City a petition to intervene in
the suit which the Safe Deposit and
Trust company had brought against
the Smith Reynolds heirs-a friend
ly action by which the trust COM
pany hopes to have the courts de-
eide its responsibility in the matter.
North Carolina is interested to
the extent of $2,0O0,0 900 inherit
ance tax, which it will get if the
compromise settlement of the Rey-
nolds will case is approved in Balti-
more, as it was in the courts of
this state.
The North Carolina Supreme
court last fall gave its approval to
the proposed distribution of young
Reynolds $4,000, 900 estate. How
ever, the money is in Maryland
and the trust company is not will
ling to dispose of so large a sum
without the approval of its own
courts.
