Harris Having
Run OF Bad Luck
His Liquor Store Is BurgIarized
For The Third Time

Colby Harris has a mighty popu-
lar liquor package store.
The only trouble is, the empori-
um attracts people he doesn't want
and, despite all his efforts, he can't
keep them away.
Last Sunday night or early Mon
day of this week, his store on the
DOver-WyOming Road just south of
Dover had an unWelcome visitor
for the third time since last July.
Mr.. Harris discovered the visit
Monday morning. He discovered.
too, that when the visitor left, Is
bottles of wine also went.
He valued the missing wine at
$40, but the thing that really cha
grins him is the fact that, try as
he might, he can't make the store
burglar proof.
Last July, when the first rob-
berry occurred, the visitors gained
entrance by the simple device of
ripping the rear door from its
hinges.
Determined to put stop to such
earrying-On, Mr.. Harris studied
the situation carefully, then INSTALL
ed steel doors and barred the win
dows.
His sense of triumph was short

Huge New Project Of
Delaware Power And
Light Company Would
Be At Indian River.

Long range plans for an Indian
River steam-electrical generating
plant to cost ultimately $50, 900, 900,
or more, were disclosed by the
Delaware Power and Light Com
pany at a Delaware State Senate
hearing in Dover last week.
The hearing was told that the
company needs the right to con-
denim private property as reason
able assurance it can get the power
out" of the proposed plant on the
Indian River.
Stuart Cooper, president OF the
company, told newspaper folk that
his company had already taken an
option on 451 acres Of land on the
Indian River, between Dagsboro
and MillsborO, as a site for the
projected new power plant The
purchase price of the land, If
the option to buy is exercised, will
be $143,250, it was stated.
The projected Indian River, plant.
Mr. Cooper said, will form the third
major Delmarva Peninsula steam
electrical generating plant Of the
Delaware Power and Light Com
pany, the others being already in
operation at Edge Moor and at vi
emma, Md. The Indian River plant,
first steps in the construction Of
which are not expected to be start
ed for two or three years, would,
linked with the Vienna, Nd, plant,
Mr.. Cooper explained, serve long
range future electric power needs
OF the lower Delmarva Peninsula.
The Indian River plant, which
would include large structures sim
liar TO those at the Edge Moor
plant, for the housing Of huge
boilers, generators and auxiliary
electrical equipment, would take
two years to build, Mr.. COOper said.
and the labor Of 500 to 500 per-
sons. About 20 to 80 EMPLOYEES
would be required for the operation
OF the first units of the Indian Riv-
er plant, he said; and if expanded
to the size of the Edge Moor plant
later, as many as 100 or more en-
ployees would be needed.
at hrst the Indian River plant
probably will include two units OF
44'OOO kilowatt capacity each. Con-
structiOn for this initial Indian Riv-
er plant facility would cost S16.-
OOO,OOO to SlS,000,O00, he said. La
ter the Indian River plant could be
expanded to three or four units, de-
pending upon future power needs
OF the farms, villages and seashore
developments of this rapidly grow
ing area of the Delmarva Peninsula
may require, he explained.
