City Council
Appr0miGtes Much
Money For improvements
leontlnnsd iEon EIEst 30

! 8. In addition to these, a new
pickup truck has been purchased
for the water department, and a
secondhand pickup truck purchas-
ed for the sewage plant operations,
at an expenditure of $1,000.
10. An appropriation of money
has also been made for continuing
the widening of South Walnut
Street to eliminate the dangerous
bottleneck south of South East
Second Street.
II. Continuing the practice of
laying curb and gutter where the
property owner wishes to lay side
walk, an appropriation of $4,000
has been made for this purpose,
and many are making these i'm
provements to their property.
12. In addition to these expendi-
lures from the General Fund, an
appropriation of $4,000 has been
made from the Sinking Fund to in
stall the new water pumping sta
ton at Marshall's Pond to provide
additional water supply, and to
safeguard against the possibility OF
failure of our other two wells.
13. Another appropriation of $15,-
600 has been set up to improve cur
electric distribution lines, one item
of which consisted of heavier wire
from the plant to the railroad on
Lake Avenue, which work has been
completed.
Most of these projects are being
paid for out of current income and
a small portion out Of the sinking
fund. City Council realizes there are
many other municipal projects re-
uuired, such as enlargement of the
sewage disposal plant, many water
mains for water supply and fire pro-
lection, extensions to the sewerage
system, storm water system, etc.
Since these cannot be Undertak-
en- out of ordinary income, Council
has appointed a committee to study
and recommend bond issue to af-
feet these improvements.
The City's present bonded in
debtedness is down to $11S,OOO, the
last bond issues for general i'm
provements having been made in
1886 and 1887. in WPA days.
With a fairly large bond issue
water and sewer mains can be run
to the newer parts of the City which
have developed in the last ten
years, and provide these utility
services as we'll as providing fire

Safety Council Notes

The heavy, late-mOdel automo-
bile, travelling at high speed, tore
down the hill, then up the grade,
and finally around a sharp curve.
just as it rounded the curve, its
lights went out - only for a few
brief seconds, but long enough for
a small boy, walking along the
road, to step in front OF the speed
ing car. The tragic result, another
needless death because one car
wasn't in top mechanical shape.
This incident, a dramatic lesson
on the Importance Of keeping cars
lin safe mechanical repairs, was
cited today by F. J. Jamison, AS
sistart Manager of the Delaware
Safety Council, as part of that
groups special May program to re-
duce traffic injuries and deaths
from accidents in which cars in
unsafe mechanical condition were
reported. The campaign is in COOP
Grafton with the National Safety
Council.
Automobiles in need of repair
figured in one out of eight fatal
auto accidents during 1850" Mr.!
JamisOn pointed out. This is all
the more tragic when it is known
that most needed automobile re-
pairs require iittle in time and
money when compared to a human
life".
Mr.. JamisOn reported that poor
headlights, bad brakes, worn tires
and steering mechanisms are ma
jor weaknesses found in cars
whose drivers neglect regular
safety checks. He urged every mo-
torist in Delaware to have a COM
petent mechanic check these fea-
lures at least twice a year-Oftener
in older model cars. OF equal i'm
portance when it comes to safety
are windshield wipers, muffler and
exhaust system, window glass.
horn and rear-view mirror.
Now is the time to check your
car for safety" Mr. JamisOn advis-
ed. mot even next week or next
month. With fair weather upon us,
the streets and highways will soon
be crowded with people beginning
vacations, observing Memorial Day
or just enjoying the good weather
The mOtorist who insures that his
car is in top condition now is being
smart and safe, perhaps saving not
only his own life but that of some
one ne holds dear"
I Mr.. JamisOn offered this word OF
advice for every driver. "Be a good
driver .... and always remember
make safe driving a habit. Check
your car. check accidents"

Frear Calls For Action
On New Summit Bridge

United States Senator J. Allen
FTear has called for prompt and
favorable action by Congress on
Legislation which he has intrOduc-
ed to- authorize construction of a
four-lane fixed highway bridge
over the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal at Summit.
Senator Frear declared that the
recent collision of two vessels in
the narrow waterway is evidence
of the acute necessity to remove
the obstacle of inadequate bridges
which create hazards to navigation.
In addition, the Senator reiter-
ated his earlier contention that the
greatly increased volume of traffic
flowing through the state requires
a modern crossing at Summit cap
able of meeting the traffic load.
Mr.. Frear disclosed that he is
again communicating with the Sec
Tetary of the Army, the Chief OF
Engineers and the Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Public Works
in an effort to obtain their support
for the project.
The Senator pointed out that the
armys present recommendation of
only a two-lane bridge at Summit
is unacceptable He charged that
the tremendous volume of Federal
taxes paid by Delaware into the
Federal Treasury. is in no way
fairly compensated for by Federal
ivN ofd tn tho state
Senator Frear called on all Del
lawareans to support and encOur-
age the enactment of the legisla@
tion to authorize the 4-lane bridge
at Summit.

awarded last year and the work
was carried over to the present
construction season.
The 38 contracts which the De-
partment will have in operation

type of highway improvement that
the Department provides for as
we'll as other projects.
As a result of these awards the
Department is entering upon its
largest construction season that has
been experienced for more than a
quarter of a century and from the
viewpoint of total cost of projects,
it is the largest season in the his
tory of the Department.
The projects on which work is
now in progress are located in al
most every section of the State in
Guiding the City OF Wilmington.
while some of the projects that
were started last year are expected
to be completed during the present
construction season, work on other
projects will continue until early
1853 before they are finished.
OF the projects being constructed,
8 are dual or divided highways, Is
are widening and resurfacing or re-
construction of existing highways,
are for earth stabilized and surface
treated highways and of the prof.
ects involve the construction of new
bridges or the repair of existing
structures.
OF the remaining nine contracts
on the list several are drainage
projects while others are for erec-
tion of traffic directional signs and
materials for mosquito control
work.
r. A. Haber, Chief Engineer of
the Department, has indicated that
as much progress will be made on
these projects during the present
construction season and pointed
out that in addition to the projects
already under contract, plans and
specifications are being completed
on additional projects for which
contracts may be awarded during
the present construction season.
The work now in progress, as
wen. as that in the preparation
stage, will result in considerable
improvement to the movement OF
traffic in this State.

SAYS oMALLEY

Why does Charley Dresser PICK
the Dodgers? President Walter o.
MaIley Of Brooklyn was asked.
Does he? O'Malley replied in
question. 81 didn't know he did.
know he's glad to know that many
fellows like the Giants. The pres
sure is on them. They have a great
club"
Did Cleveland offer $25O,OOO for
pitcher Johnny POdres?
''Tell you how that happened"
said O'Nlalley. Hank Greenberg Of
the Indians was watching him
pitch in Miami and said lis that the
boy you fellows like? He looks like
a $25O,O00 pitcher Then somebody
used the story that Cleveland Of
cred us that price for POdres. I'll
be very much surprised if we make
any deals"
A 30-seeOnd interview with Dres-
sen found Chuck going out on the
limb again. The Phillies should
have great pitching, he was told.
They are high on Karl Drews.
Il have two pitchers who will
win more games than Drews," said
Dresser. He undoubtedly was
thinking Of John Rutherford and
Ben Wade, who. like Drews, are up
from the minor leagues.
Jimmie Dykes, relaxing on the
rubber table was asked how come.
"I've got to get my rest" said
Dykes. This is a night game and
I'll be up until II O'Clock"
What happened to Glenn Elliott,
the pitcher you liked month ago?
Manager Bucky Harris of the SEN
ators was asked.
"He came up with a sore arm
and never told me-" said Harris.
Tie told somebody else instead of
me and / got him ticket back to
Sacramento"
Casey Stengel, Yankee manager,
got talking about his favorite
shortstop. Ever since Cobb paid
such a tribute to Rizzuto I can't do
. thing with Phil" said Casey. HE
liked the bench and I've rested him
d lot this spring. Got to give the
boys time at the bench. But / think
Phil will be around for tOday's

Plan For Retiring
(eOntinued from first pager

younger employees. Many other
employees, however, can request
to keep working after age 60
or the company can so request.
According to Edward Staley,
president of the w. T. Grant Com
pany and also of the Employees
Retirement Plan, Adoption of the
plan was a natural outgrOwth of
the cOmpany's desire to provide
greater security for it's employees. 4"
About 5,4OO employees of the
company, of whom 7O96 are women,
are members Of the plan, being at
least 30 years of age and having
completed at least two years full
time service with the company.
Questioned about other phases of
the plan, Mr.. Staley brought out
that the company itself carries
nearly 1870 of the financial bur-
den of the plan, since it pays the
contribution on all income up to
$1,500 per year for all employees
involved.
On the administration of the
plan, Mr.. Staley explained that a
special retirement board of not
less than six people, two of whom
are elected by the contributing
membership and may not be Off
GERS of the company, handles all
matters pertaining to the plan.
OF interest to young men partic-
ularly is the fact that employees
on military leave of absence re-
ceive special service credits on
their return to employment with
the company. These special credits
are paid for entirely by the COM
pany.
Employees themselves, when ask
ed how they feel about the retire.
ment plan, are enthusiastic. TO
gether with my Federal Social Sc
curity payments, this company
plan will really guarantee our in
dependence for life" they say.
