HIGHWAY BILL
BEFORE COURT
Decision Withheld After
Hearing Argument i'm Quo
WarrantO Case
DEFER DECISION A WEEK

With oral argument heard Mon
day, Stewart Lynch, attorney, who
started the action, will file a brief
by next Monday in answer to the
opposition's contentious in his quo
warranto proceedings in Superior
Court attacking the State High
way apartment amendatory reor-
ganization bill passed by the Leg
islature over the veto of Gov.Rich-
ard c. McMullen. Donald P. Ross,
Ralph w. Emerson, and Charles D.
Abbott, Republicans, were named
in the legislative measure which
would change the political COM
plection of the highway depart
ment. The bill also would elimin-
ate the Governor as an ex-officio
member of the department. The
argument was heard before Judges
Richard S. Rodney and Frank L.
Speakman who reserved decision
until after the filing of the brief by
Mr.. Lynch. Former Atty.-Gen. P
Warren Green, chief legislative
counsel, and Rep. Henry M. Cosby
opposed Mr.. Lynch. Mr.. Lynch
contended that the appointive pow
er lies directly with the Governor
while the Republicans attorneys
maintained that the State Consti-
tuition of 1897 curbed the appoin-
tive power of the governor to Of
fees named in the Constitution
and such others as authorized"
Mr.. Lynch further contended that
the bill is unconstitutional as the
title does not give complete notice
of the contents of the act, setting
forth that the title limited the re-
organization to an increase in
membership while the measure
also removes the governor and
deals with the term of office of
secretary, quorum for a meeting,
and terms of Office of the members.
Mr.. Green and Mr.. Candy main
tained that all necessary require
ments were made in the wording
of the title. Another contention of
Mr.. Lynch was that the act re-
quired a two-thirds vote of the
General Assembly. The vote in the
Senate was II to and in the
House, % to 13. The measure in
creasing the department member
ship from four to seven. The Re
publican members, including Frank
" DUPONT, holdover member from
the old board, organized on May II
and elected Ernest Muncy as sec
retary, replacing Chauncey P. Hol-
comb. 1t was after this action
that Mr.. Lynch instituted the quo
warranto proceedings.

S35O,OOO WHEAT
DAMAGE is SEEN
Long Drought Reduces This
Years Yield 35 Percent
Below Last Years Crop
RAINS BRING RELIEF

The drought, which caused loss
amounting to S35O,0OO to the
wheat crop alone, was broken over
the weekend Intermittent show
ers Saturday and the downpour
Tuesday after a sultry, humid
day that saw the mercury mount
to go degrees during the afternoon
is believed to have relieved the sit
uation here. Swimming pools were
crowded from 2 p. m. to 6 p. m.
and thousands of others sought re-
lief from the heat and humidity in
drives into the country Most of
the wheat crop has now been har-
vested, although little if any has
been threshed so far A prelimin-
ary check-up made by the Bureau
of Markets indicates that because
of the drought, which came just as
the wheat was ripening, this years
crop will probably be 35 per cent
below that of last year, ]. L. Sop
er, director of the bureau, said.
Based on last years yield of ST.
O62, 900 the loss will probably reach
$350,00 he said The effect of
the drought has been statewide.
Many farmers in the Middletown
area whose crops generally yield
35 bushels to the acre have report
ed to the Bureau of Markets that
they expected only about half that
yield this year, Mr.. Soper said. In
Kent and Sussex Counties where
the yield is generally less than in
the Middletown area, farmers are
that their yield will
range from 10 to IA bushels to the
acre These are general averages |

SEEK PURIFIER
WATER PLANT
Smyrna Town Council Puts i'm
Application for Improve
ment With the PWA
STOPS CORROSIVE PIPES

Smyrna Town Council has put
in its application to the Public
Works Administration for financial
aid to install an up-to-date water
purifier at the Smyrna Water
Works. Recently some engineers
representing the purifier manufac-
turers visited Smyrna and went
over plans for putting in such an
equipment and if government aid
can be had to pay for such
plant, Council will, no doubt, con
slider the proposition The purifier
and installation will cost approx
imately 5000 of which the PWA-
would share, it is said, So per cent.
For sometime, in fact every since
there has been water works In
Smyrna, all house piping and ser
vice lines have had to contend With
a rust or sediment deposit that
fills pipes, causes rusty water and
reduces the life of pipes wherever
installed. This is an expense re-
quired of property owners every
twelve to fifteen years. BY in
stalling a purifier it will take care
of this condition at the plant be
fore water is pumped thru the
mains, assuring not only the elm
ination of rust, it is said, but add
ing to the publication Of the
towns water supply. These engin-
eers contend that our inexaustible
well of water always believed to be
pure spring water, really filters
from Lake Como. They took an
analysis of both the well-water and
the Lake water and find both to be
practically the same. Most of our
citizens take exception to this and
contend as they always have that
our water supply is pure spring
water from a natural well and this
supply was available
when for long periods at time
the pond was dry. However, there
is need for the installation of a
purifier right at the source of sup
ply and citizens are hoping that
application to the PWA
will be granted.

KENT FARMERS
WHEAT CHECKS
Have Been Received i'm This
County From the AAA
For Compliance
RECORDS TABULATED

AS Kent county was one of the
first counties in the East Central
Division of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration to COM
plete the majority of applications
for the 1889 wheat price adjust
ment payments, several hundred
farmers in this county have re-
ceived their wheat allotment
checks within the past few weeks,
according to Lyndon D. Caulk,
treasurer of the Kent County Ag-
ricultural Conservation Associa-
ton. These benefit checks are re-
ceived from the treasurer of the
United States, and are distributed
to the respective payees through
the county extension office where
official receipts must be signed by
each landlord and tenant who re-
ceives one of these checks. As
sistance in the distribution of
these federal checks is being given
by members of the county commit
tee including r. Harry Wilson, H
Clifford Clark and Lawrence E.
Cain, whose efforts in preparing
these wheat adjustment applica-
tions are largely responsible for
these payments being received at
this early date for Kent county. |
These checks which are being dis
tributed at the present time rep !
resent payment of IL cents a
bushel on the average yield of
wheat in compliance with the acre
age allotment, and should not be
confused with the agricultural con-
payments which will be

DIR. KLEFFMAN
TO HEAD SYNOD
Picked By This Presbytery
To Be Next Moderator
Synod of Baltimore
SESSION AT MILFORD

The Presbytery of New Castle
at its one-day June meeting in the
Presbyterian Church at Milford
Monday, recommended as its
choice for Moderator Of the Synod
of Baltimore the Rev Albert H
Kleffman, pastor of West Presby-
terian Church, Wilmington. DR.
Kleffman's choice by the Presby-
terry Of New Castle is tantamount
to election to the office, which ro-
tates among the three presbyteries
comprising the synod. This year
it is the turn of the Presbytery of
New Castle to propose a candidate.
The presbytery also named the
Rev. DR.. Elliot Field, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church at Dover, as
its representative at the synod to
nominate DR. Kleffman for the
moderatorship. The synod meets
at Frederick, Md, next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, June 49,
21. A proposal to merge the
synods of Baltimore and West Vir-
ginia into one large synod was re-
jected. 1t was the presbytery's
consensus that the geographical
difficulties, especially as to dis
tances to be Travelled to synodical
meetings were too great for the
merger to be practical or desirable.
The Rev. DR.. Willard G. Purdy,
moderator of the presbytery, pre-
sided. The Rev. DR.. William
Leishman of Lewes, stated clerk,
and the Rev. John Jackson Brown,
Jr., Milford, permanent clerk, serv-
ed in their positions. Licentiate
Kenneth B. Walter of the Presby-
terry of Baltimore, a graduate of
Lafayette College and Princeton
Seminary, Princeton,
N. j., was examined by the COM
mittee on examinations. Presby-
terry admitted him to membership
and made arrangements for his or
dination and installation as pastor
of the Port Deposit, Md, Presby-
terian Church Friday evening. An
invitation from the church at
Princess Anne, Md, to be host to
the Presbytery at its fall meeting,
October 2 and 3, was accepted. AT
a luncheon in the Grange Hall,
DR.. Purdy introduced the Rev. DR..
William Gibson, pastor of the
church at New Castle, a former
British subject and World War
who was among the
guests at a reception for King
George and Queen Elizabeth at
the British Embassy in Washing
ton last week.

share of this project. The Legis-
lature, just before taking its 90
day recess, passed a bill authoriz-
ing an appropriation from the
highway fund of $4,000 for the
work and the act has been approx
ed by Gov. Richard C. McMullen.
1t was this bill which had the Sen
ate and House deadlocked during
the final days of the session before
the recess. The measure was in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
David w. Steele, president pro
tenn of that body; and was design
ed not only to improve shipping
facilities in the Indian River Inlet
and Bay but ais to help Millsbor
develop as shipping point.

NEW ROAD OPEN
VIA KIRKWOOD
Made Available to Motoring

er Route to Wilmington
SAVE MORE THAN MILE

Hundreds of motorists, bound
for weekend trips to Delaware
Bay and ocean shore resorts, took
advantage of the new detour, made
available by the opening of the
road between Kirkwood and Lum's s
Pond. The new detour route, from
State Road, to Tybout's Corner, to
Kirkwood, Summit Bridge, Middle
town and Blackbird, lops off a lit
tie more than a mile from the
five-mile detour around St.Georges
by way Of Glasgow. The new
road, constructed with federal
funds is by the State Highway De
partment is over a portion of the
ground formerly the site Of old
Lum's Pond. The old road was
covered with mud dredged into
Lum's Pond by the government
Treating Of the surface of the road
which cuts across from the south
side Of Reedy Island bridge to the
DUPONT boulevard, short distance
to the Port Penn Road below st.
Georges, has also been completed.
This road was used frequently by
persons detouring east of st.
Georges. It was, however, a grav-
el and dirt road and dusty. About
$50 lucite re1ectors have been
placed on curves of the two main
detours around st. Georges. Supt
of State Police John R. Fader said
the installation Of the refiectors is
to increase safety Of
night driving on the detours. The
rehectors have been placed on
curves of the roads on the section
from Clark's Corner to Delaware
City, on the winding road from
Port Penn to the DUPONT Highway.
