CONTINUED from first page)

Continued from first page)
With an estimated 50-million or
more chickens to be barbecued at
outdoor functions throughout the
u. S. this spring, summer and fall,
the work of barbecuing the birds
in lots of 100 to $4,000 has been
developed into a fine art, says
chairman McAllister. He says that
Curtis Norbeck of Ithaca, N. Y,
will report on how to organize
mass barbecues. Carl DOssin of
University Park, Pa, will tell how
he handles pits and barbecuing
equipment for cooking large num-
bers of broiler halves at once;
Ernest Mathews of Wells, Maine
will be the lecturer and demon
strator on how to bring chicken
in the mass to just the right gold
en-brown point over charcoal
fires; and Gerald Zich of Trenton,
N. j., will report on different kinds
of barbecue sauces which are pre-
ferred throughout the East.
In the afternoon, Ann Armstrong
of the Poultry and Egg National
Board will illustrate how to plan
a menu for a chicken barbecue
supper. Emily Yoselson of Mon
trose, Pa, will report on how to
make the proper serving arrange
ments for large groups.
From $3.50 p. M. until 7:30, the
assembled students and experts
will put all the theory to practice
by holding an actual mass chicken
barbecue for themselves n d
guests. Registration fee for those
attending the School is $5, Meal
lister says. This includes cost of
materials, bringing in the instruc-
tors, furnishing a complete barbe-
cuing handbook to each student,
plus, a barbecue supper. Registra-
tions should be sent to Agricultur-
al Hall.
The School will start at 9 a. M,
June 9Th.

Price Of School
Land Protested

A group of taxpayers and voters
of the RehobOth School District in
a statement recently said they de
sired to answer some of the mis-
statements relative to the purchase
Of four and one-half acres of land
from Mrs. Walter Dick, said land
to be used for school purposes"
The group contends that the $45,-
GOO paid for Mrs. Dicks land is too
high. The purchase of the Dicks
land has been approved by the
State Board of Education.
The statement, issued under the
signature of George c. Shockley,
continues:
"It has been stated in a recent
meeting of the executive commit
tee of the PTA that comparative
land owned by James Truitt (adja-
cent to this property is $4,000
per acre, which is $500 more than
the land voted on by the people in
February, 1856.
According to the plot of James
Truitt's land on record in the off
ice of the recorder of deeds at
Georgetown, there are 80 lots. Mr..
Truitt, according to his own rec
ord, has sold 21 lots and received
the sum of 1900. This is an aver
age of $2,061.90 per lot. If Mr.. Tru-
lit should sell the remaining nine
lots in this development adjacent
to the school at the same average
per lot, he would receive a total OF
$61 ,S57 Is, or an average of $5,-
498.41 per acre for the liz acres
which he has in his development,
including streets.
Attention is called to this fact:
Is not the price agreed to pay fol
the four and one-half acres pur-
chased from Mrs. Dick beyond rea-
son in price, compared to value and
sale price of other property ada
cent to the school? The Truitt de-
velopment averages $5,498.41 pei
acre and the four and one-half
acres purchased by the Rehoboth
Special School District averages
$4,000 per acre.
eff the Rehoboth Special School
District needs additional land to
take care vi IT'S S1On
would it not be better to have prop
er legislation enacted to give the
school district the right to con-
denim land that is necessary, and
therefore would pay fair and
rea sonable price?
"It is also a fact that a tract
of land was sold for $4,000 per acre
adjacent to the proposed four and
one-half acres.''

NelU Equipment For
Indian RiUer Plant
fContinued from page one)

Indian River Power Plant is a
Joint undertaking of Delaware
Power and Light Company, The
Eastern Shore Public Service Com
pany of Maryland and Eastern
Shore Public Service Company of
Virginia. The 35 million dollars
will be raised not by taxation as in
government-owned utilities, but by
the sale of securities to numerous
small private investors who have
confidence in the methods of pri-
vate industry and the American
way of life.
Originally, the electric company
planned to do the preliminary work
for construction of the second unit
late in 1857 so that the unit could
be put into operation by the sum
mer of 1860. Starting now moves
the job up Is months. Present
plans indicate completion of the
additional unit early in 1859.
United Engineers and Construc-
tors, Inc, of Philadelphia, en-
ployed to engineer and construct
the plant and first unit, will also
build the second unit Babcock and
Wilcox Company has the contract
to design and build the boiler.
Westinghouse Electric Company
has been commissioned to design
and build the turbine generator.
The original transmission line
will be, operated at $4,000 volts to
carry the power generated by the
first unit. When the second unit is
put into operation further equip
ment will be installed to raise the
pressure on the transmission line
to $4,000 volts.
With both units in operation at
! Indian River Power Plant, the
equivalent of about 100000 more
horsepower will be available for
electric company customers. Coal
consumption for the additional pro-
duction will approximate 1900 tons
daily. Through the operating eco
Monies of large scale production
the electric company aims to serve
power to Delma rva in whatever
quantity it is nee eded, at reasonable
rates."
