Many Residents Voice
Disappointment In AL
lowing Violation To Re-
main

City Council held special ses-
sion last evening at which action
was taken in the matter of the
building permit issued to Luther
Pinder for the erection of hotel
and dining room, and tourist cab
ms. on United street. permission
TO do so having previously been
called a violation of the new
zoning ordinance.
The matter first came to the at
tention of the new ZOning Board
OF Appeals in session yesterday
morning in council chambers.
owing to conflicting nature of
the remarks made by MIR. Pinder
at that meeting, and since it had
been alleged that the council had
previously given permission for
the building operations planned
by Mr. Pinder, that Board passed
the matter back to the council
for action.
As result of last nights meet
ing conclusions reached-clouded
as they were, in the opinion of
many citizens commenting on
theml-the. :. coming ordinance
stands in desperate danger of be-
coming ineffective in the prece
dence that was set.
The permit issued for what has
been called a tourist camp, is in
direct violation of the ordinance,
il was pointed out, for several
reasons. chief of which is no re-
gulation being made for the type
of buildings planned in the area
designated. neutrality-suspicious.
governing set-backS from side
walk lines and total area of
buildings to be erected were said
to be in violation of the ordi-
nance.
Effort on the part of a minority
of the council (the vote again
was 4 to 81 to require Mr.. Pinder
to submit complete plans to the
council for study met with de-
feat. Councilmen Boyden, Brin-
ton and Ramsey assented and
councilmen Carbonell, Grillon,
Sweeting and Freeman voted
against the motion. 1t appeared
that no plans have been drawn
for the project.
No further action was taken fol-
lowing the vote above-mention-
ed. Much discussion. however,
was entered into by opposing
sides in the controversy with an
effort to place blame for the per-
mit-issuing that caused the con-
fusion and start of coming regula-
tons in Key West off to a poor
start. 49,
Contacted this morning, sew
eral citizens were non-commital
as to whether legal proceedings
would be started in the matter.
II was stated that much building
was contemplated for Key West
with resultant employment of
many local people over a long
period of time. The demonstra-
ton last night, however, it was
said, had discouraged some in
terestS to the extent where plans
for construction have been tenn

WHEAT RAISERS
TO GET $4,000
S25 New Castle Farmers to
Receive Parity Payments if
Acreage is Not i'm Excess
TO PLANT 27,OO0 ACRES

Approximately 825 commercial
wheat growers in New Castle Coun-
ty will receive total of about $685.
600 in parity payments from the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration this year provided their
paintings do not exceed their AAA
acreage allotments, it was an
nounced here today. Payments to
be made to New Castle County
farmers were estimated by G. NJ
Worrilow, County Agricultural
Agent, and Secretary of the New
Castle County Agricultural Con-
servation Association, following the
announcement that the AAA will
pay 10 cents per bushel on the
normal yield of each producers
acreage allotment. The nations to-
tai 1910 appropriation for parity
payments to wheat farmers is $751;
100000. Parity payments are made
in an effort to bring the American
farmers buying power to the 1910
1914 level. The 1910 Appropria-
tion Act provided for these pay
ments to be made on the five basic
crops-cotton, corn, wheat, rice and
tobacco-if the 1889 average prices
of these commodities were less than
rs per cent of parity, or the 1910
1914 prices as they related to price
levels of commodities which farm
ers must buy. All crops qualified
growers for payments except to to-
bacco, the prices of which were
above rs per cent of parity. The
providing for parity
on the four remaining
crops totals $225, 100000. The s25
farmers cooperating with the Agri-
cultural Conservation Program are
growing atotal of approximately
1000 bushels of wheat on 1000
acres in New Castle County. Be
sides these price adjustment pay
ments, farmers who cooperate in
the 1910 AAA Farm Program, and !
plant within their acreage allot- /
nents, will receive agricultural |
payments at rates

Hope For More
PLAN TO INCORPORATE

The Smyrna Business Association
at the regular meeting Tuesday
night, set the date for Smyrna Day
as Friday and Saturday, April 18th
and 18th. Plans for incorporation
were discussed ana reports of that
committee given, with the result
that definite steps will be taken to
incorporate the Association. Due
to the fact that a Town Council
meeting was held the same night,
several of the presiding officers
were absent, and weather condi-
tions kept many other members
away. In spite of this fact, Mrs.
Myrtle Wade, secretary of the or
ganization, reports the addition of
10 new members. According to
Mrs. Wade, all members will be
sent card before the next meet
ing, March 18th, asking each one to
endeavor to bring in a new member
and thus increase the size and inn
portance of the organization. The
membership now stands at 49,
Mrs. Wade maintains that this is
less than half of what it should be,
and that the larger the member
ship, the more power and meaning
the organization will have to better
the business in Smyrna.

POLICE WATCH
TRUCK WEIGHTS
New Axel Load Limit EnfOrc-
ed Due to Condition of
Highways and Roads
FINES ARE REFUNDED

State police are continuing to
watch all trucks for possible viola
tions Of the new 15,000-pound axle
road regulations that has been put
into effect, but they We're weighing
only those trucks that seemed over
weight and not all trucks as when
the drive started. Acting Superin-
tendent of State Police Norman r.
Purnell said he hoped that within
the next few days the roads would
be in such condition that the nor
NAL axle load limit of $4,000 might
be reeStablished. He added that
the police are not anxious to make
arrests, but would like truckers to
aid in protecting the roads. Fines
and costs imposed on most of the
los drivers arrested recently are
being mailed back in conformance
with a ruling of Atty.-Gen. James
K. Morford, Superintendent Purnell
said. In cases where the drivers
had an axle load in excess of $4,000
pounds this is not being done, as
these arrests are sustained under
another section of the law. 1t was
also explained that although the
law provides that the State High
way Department may not reduce
the maximum load limit to less
than 10000 pounds, the 10000
pound axle load regulations was
well within this restriction as it re-
TERED to the weight allowed on
each axle and would therefore per-
mt a gross weight up to 24,000
pounds. Mr.. Morfords ruling that
the arrests of drivers recently is
illegal was made at the request of
ernest V. Keith, attorney for the
delaware Motor Truck Association,
Inc. Robert J. Mccormick, presi-
lent of the association, said its pro-
Test had been based on the action
d highway officials in putting the
restrictions into effect without Civ
ng truckers Sufficient notice" to
'earrange their schedules. He de-
'lared, however, that truckers will
abide by the departments rulings
70 save the roads.
