CITY COUNCIL EXPLAINS
WATER, SCOT, FIRE SIREN
TROUBLES TO THE PUBLIC

In a recent issue of the Milford
Chronicle, there appeared an arti-
Gle in the social column relative to
the taste of the city water. the SCOT
from the power plant, and the
blowing of the fire siren. City Coun-
Gil would like to explain the con-
tributing circumstances in cOnnec-
ton with these matters, feeling
confident that to know the facts is
to understand the situation which
exists.
When our city wells were opened
in 1888, the state board of health
filed a letter which is self-explan-
atory. 1t stipulated, We will ap-
prove the location proposed with
the understanding, of course. that
chlOrinatiOn will be had at all
times" In January of this year the
chlOrinatiOn equipment was found
to be imperative, and with special
emphasis being placed on health
protective measures in the face
of a serious shortage of doctors,
steps were taken Immediately to
repair the equipment and resume
the required chlorination of water
for the protection of our citizens.
The SCOT. or fy-ash, condition re-
ferred to in the article is one that
has proved especially Objectionable
in many communities and can be
directly attributed to the fact that
producers are prohibited by gov
ernment order from the usual oil
treatment of coal which minimizes
the amount of fiy-ash. Obviously.
all consumers are anxious to re-
sumo the use of oil-treated coal as
soon as it is available. However. in
the meantime with conditions in the
coal market growing even worse.
we are. perhaps. fortunate to obtain
an adequate supply of any grade to
permit uninterrupted operation at !
our light and water plant.
With reference TO the blowing
Of the fire siren. due to a shortage
Of active fire-fighting personnel. it
was thought advisable to prolong
he blowing of the siren in order
hat all members might hear and
respond to the alarm. AS a trial
Measure, however, the alarm has
,een adjusted to a maximum per-
cd of one minute.

chairman still believes with the
extra effort that is being put forth
that the county will still come
through this fifth campaign with
flying cOlOrs.
The overall figures of the county
show that on July 5, only 80 per
cent of the quota has been secured,
and that only 31.02 per cent of the
"E" bonds sold. but intensive ef-
forts are now in progress to bring
Sussex out of the deficiency that
might delay the final victory.
1t can be said that the county
passed the 81 100000 mark on June
27, but purchases of "E" bonds has
not kept pace with the total sales.
The "E" bond sales for the coun-
ty was $444,61S, with a quota to be
reached of S1,26O,O00.
Special sales campaigns in the
various communities of the coun-
ty are being held this week to stim-
ulate the buying of "E'' bonds, and
every chairman is making strenu-
ous efforts to put the county over
the top.

other figures. The total amount of
money which passed through the
totalizator was $23,592, 200 for a
per diem average of S7S6, ,407. These
figures also of course. constitute
new records and compare with
1925 total of $13,6S4.975.
20 Per Cent Increase Cited
Perhaps the most significant
point emphasizing the health of
racing in this state is the fact
that the increase of approximately
40 per cent is the greatest pro-
portionate increase of any track in
America. Large as are the fore
going figures, they cannot be COM
pared with those in New York, nor
was it ever hoped they could or
should be so compared. However,
point where Delaware is out
standing and where a favorable
comparison can be made even with
the great metropolitan ovals, is in
the matter of purse distribution.
Calculations made show that the
total distribution was $632,025 for
a per diem average in excess of
$21, ,067. This per diem distribution
is far higher than that of many
famous tracks which for years have

broke through a window but his

neighbors to assist in saving the
home, but everything was lost with
the exception of one heater. Dickie

been considered in the front rank
of American racing.
A feature unique in Delaware is
that a great portion of the outlay
is in war bonds-the figure in
1914 being $139,350 so distributed.
In that regard horsemen pointed to
Delaware's minimum purse of ST.
500, which, when supplemented by
war bonds, was approximately the
same as the minimum purse in New
York.
Other figures, which also consti-
tute new highs for Delaware, are
total attendance of 31S,453 for a
per diem average of 10,615. For the
meeting just finished no special
trains were available, nor were
other preacetime facilities usable.
Notwithstanding, the gain in at
tendance was more than 1,400 per
day. In 1912 the total attendance
wa 276,300 for a per diem average
of 9,210.
A new departure this year and a
one was the contribution to
war relief agencies of $92,S90. Of
this amount $S5,000 was from Del
aware Park itself. Throughout the
meeting, war bond booths were kept |
open at the track and total sales
through that medium were esti-
mated at an additional $53,26S |
purchased by racegoers.

All Supplemental Gas RatlOns Are
Now Affected BY The Order

The Office of Price .Administra-

boards to make public the names
of persons issued B and C gasoline
ration cards, the extra gallonage
allotted, and the purpose for which
it is claimed.
An OPA spokesman said the rul-
ing was intended to fix a national
policy, insofar as it is feasible for
boards to comply. in order to dis
courage the waste of gasoline
through what he termed exagger-
ated claims.
The ruling is effective on all B
and c rations issued on or after
July l. The OPA spokesman said
boards might comply with the new
directive by submitting lists to
newspapers or radio stations, by
posting on the board premises. or
simply by making board records
available for inspection to the ex-
tent that this does not interfere
with the boards work.
