Stolen Loot Left By
Thieves
Sheriff Receivers Two Bags
Of Stolen Chickens But
Thieves Not Caught

Sheriff Eugene Racine's forces are
endeavoring to learn the owners Of
two large bags of White Leghorn
chickens, all dead, found in the edge
of field along the Glasgow
Road, east of Elkton. The officers
believe the chickens were stolen and
the thieves, imagining they were be-
ing pursued, threw their loot away,
probably from an automobile.
The chickens were found by res
ident of that section and turned over
to the sheriff's Office. The two bags
contained about 40 chickens, all of
which had their heads wrung. Quite
number of farmers and poultry
raisers in the locality have lost chick
ems recently. One of the heaviest
Losses was Lyman A. Spence of Cher
ry Hill, who had 76 full grown turk
eys stolen.

Natural Gas For Cecil
County Delayed
Pennsylvania Governor Stops
Extension Of Lines Owing
To Anthracite Probe

Distribution of natural gas in nor
thern New Castle county, Dell ana III
Cecil county, Md, has been delayed
Inv the action of Gov. George Earle
of PENNSYLVANIA, in ordering the
Pennsylvania Public Service Commls-
sion not to permit the extension OF
any more natural gas lines until COM
pletion of a probe of conditions IN
the anthracite regions
An announcement had been maue
nv the Delaware Power & Light co.
on Dec. 3rd, that it would supply ma
tural gas at substantial savings to lts
customers as soon as the company
with which it has signed prelimlh-
ary agreement, could pipe the gas to
the Delaware line. 1t was expected
the installations could be made TINS
summer.
Shortly after the Pennsylvania Gas
Transmission Corporation filed with
the Pennsylvania commission an ap-
plication to pipe NATURAL gas from
Western Pennsylvania, Kentucky ana
West Virginia, into Southern Penn
svlvania. Governor Earle announced
his action.
When the report of Gov. Earle was
called to the attention of Thomas w.
Wilson, president of the Delaware
Power and Light Co., he said the
PENNSYLVANIA Gas Transmission Cor
noration is the company from which
the Delaware Power & Light Co. ex-
meets to obtain natural gas and that
evidently the gas transmission COM
pany is being delayed in securing the
necessary permits in Pennsylvania
which would enable it to deliver ma
tural gas to the Delaware State line.
The application of the Pennsyl-
wanna Gas transmission Corporation
nroposed distribution of natural gas
tn companies now serving the manu-
featured product in Chester, Lancas-
ter. Dauphin, Berks, Lehigh, North
ampton, Bucks, Montgomery and Del
aware counties in Pennsylvania.
The application will be held up I'M
der the governors order until COM
uletion of studies by 3 commission
seeking a remedy for the bootleg
coal situation in the anthracite re
gions.
Extension of natural gas into East
ern Pennsylvania was protested p9
the United Mine Workers.
1t had been hoped by the Company
supplying gas to sections in Cecil
county that natural gas would have
been available next summer, but the
delay will probably cause a postpone
