TOWN MANAGER OF SMYRNA
AND OTHER MUNICIPAL CHANGES

Newman of this district residing
in Smyrna, is looking after the
necessary legislation for Council
Besides the Town Manager author
ity, he has also introduced supple
mentary bills requiring Smyrna
taxes be paid to January / of every
year to vote at the annual Febru-
ary Town Election. Other amend
ments are also in his hands The
move of the new administration is
to effect progressive and econom-
ical changes for the good of the
town instead of having the town
run without a proper system. AL
ready the police department is re-
quired to make reports of all ar
rests and complaints each and
every month. The same sort of
system will be worked out for all
the other department of the
town.

KENT POULTRY

A statewide program for the
forming of local poultry associa-

each county for the purpose of dis
cussing various problems relating
to the production of eggs and
broilers has resulted in two such
associations being formed in Kent
county within the past few weeks
under the direction of the exten-
sion department of the University
of Delaware. One of these organ
ization meetings was held on the
evening of January "a in the voca-
tional agriculture room in the
Caesar Rodney School, and a sim
liar meeting was held in the pub

evening of February 1, at which

Smyrna Town Council is sponsor
ing an amendment to Smyrna
Town Charter, introduced into the
Legislature at Dover by Repre-
sentative Newman of this district,
to provide for a town manager
should they want it. Nearly all
progressive towns are adopting
this plan and find it not only ex-
pedites and makes for better busi-
ness system, but saves such muni-
cipalities money. In Smyrna's
case where four councilmen are
elected with a Mayor to run the
town, no one councilman has the
time to give his whole undivided
attention to the town. With a
business manager, answerable to
Council, in charge of all depart
ments, a better check-up and sys-
tenn can be had and less waste of
time and money. Representative

SAYS DITCHING
AIDS MUSKRATS
So Declares w. S. Corkran of
Lewes, Director of the
Mosquito Control
BACKED BY TRAPPERS

The fifth annual report of the
Delaware Mosquito Control Com
mission just completed by Wilbur
S. Corkran, Executive Officer and
Engineer, in the headquarters of
fee at Lewes, contains testimon-
lals from muskrat trappers and
wild life enthusiasts that the con-
troll work has aided rather than
hampered and destroyed muskrats
and game in the areas worked, be-
liefs which have brought much
criticism of the mosuito control
program. A chart reveals a gen
eral increase in the number of
muskrats trapped rather than a
decline. In Sussex County, where
the major work was done, the av-
erage rats per trapper were 141 in
1888 and 1854, the first years of
the drainage work; 163 in 1884
and 1885; 219 in 1885 and 1886;
249 in 1886 and 1887; and in 1897
and 1888 a slight decline to 220
rats per trapper. I'VE have con-
tinued in 1888, as in previous
years." the director reports, "our
care to see that muskrat and wild
duck marshes are not overdrained.
We therefore, feel confident that
accusations of our work being gen
orally destructive to wild life can
not be sustained. Warm weather
and heavy rains in 1888 were unus-
ually favorable to breeding condi-
tions in Delaware. With the with
drawal of most of our CCC labor
before the warm weather of last
year, and with a state appropria-
ton insufficient to take care of
such peak mosquito production as
occurred, we were powerless to
prevent some infestation at times
in several communities of the con-
trolled area. However, as the an
noyance from mosquitoes in those
places was comparatively 50 mucn
less than it was outside the con
trolled area, particularly IN New
Castle County, it was evident to
the public that even under the
most severe breeding conditions
and with inadequate labor, mo
squito control was decidedly help
ful in reducing the pests" The di-
rector further points out the great
benefit to the control work of the
re-opening Of the Indian River In
let the past year, a project the
commission consistently advocated

a muskrat marsh with a capital
value of 100000 and a force of
nine trappers-that's the way they
handle the trapping business on
the Eastern Shore, says the Ches-
tertown, Md, Kent News. ]. Rus
sell Summers, Talbot county road
superintendent, said he has a
marsh of 1000 acres in Dorchester
county which has already yielded
900 muskrat hides since the start
of the trapping season on January
1st. His nine trappers live in a
specially built, movable house.
They work on a commission basis
and Summers said their income
averages $50 a week. He said he
will stop trapping when he has
taken 1000 pelts, leaving the rest
of the muskrats as breeding stock
for next season. More than half
his pelts are black, bringing $1.35
each. The red Or brown ones bring
95 cents. Three white ones have
appeared i nthe traps this winter
but their fur does not bring more
than the brown ones.
