8 (Special) It would cost 38,048 to build a sewer system in Elsmere according to R. C. Beckett, state sanitary engineer, At a meeting of the Town Commissioners last night a letter from Mr. Beckett on the sewer question was read. A special meeting which property owners are urged to attend has been called for Monday night, September 18, when the matter will be further discussed.

Mr. Beckett's letter follows: "I went over the revised figures of the Elsmere sewerage system from the plans submitted by Albright and Mabus, in 1927, I believe. I figured the revised cost as follows: 25,430 feet of 8 and 10 inch terra cot- ta pipe, 516 lineal feet of manholes, $5160; two temporary sewage treatment plants, $3000. Total, $38,046.50. "As you know they have put in an Imhoff tank at Richardson Park treating adequate in size to take care of Elsmere, Brack -Ex and Roselie treating Mill Creek as one watershed for sewerage purposes.

The engi neering work, pertaining to the inter ceptor tewer which would run from Richardson Park, south of Elsmere and up to Brookland Terrace has been run by the County Engineer's office and I have a copy of that in the office. This survey indicates that the two outlets' of the two outfalls of the Elsmere system would be able to connect into this interceptor. Depending on action by the Levy Court in extending the outfall sewer which they might do if Elsmere would contribute the equivalent cost of two temporary sewage treatment plants would determine whether the PENNA.

OPPOSE KREBS SCHOOL CHANGE Newport Residents Object to Transfer of Two Grades of Pupils AGAINST REMOVAL TO RICHARDSON PARK NEWPORT, Sept.

8 Residents of Newport and outlying districts are opposing the proposed project of residents of Richardson Park, in conjunction with the State Board of Education, to remove the seventh and eighth grades from the Krebs School and erect a junior high school at Richardson Park to serve Jointly the Richardson Park, New port. Stanton, Oak Grove and Mar-shallton districts. The Krebs school trustees are displeased with this plan, as four additional rooms were erected at the Krebs School last year with the thought In mind of adding a junior high school, and naturally they cannot see the wisdom of leaving these rooms idle and transferring children from the district to a junior high school at Richardson Park, when the pocple of the Newport District are paying taxes on the bond Issue which was necessary to erect the addition their school building. It would be necessary for the students from outlying districts to be taken to and from school by automobile, or go by trolley, which is additional expense to the parents. It is the consensus of opinion of people in the Krebs School District, that since the late H.

J. Krebs and Mrs. Krebs contributed $150,000 for erection of the new school at Newport, this district should be given some consideration, inasmuch as the original building was at no cost to the State Board of Education and there was a bond Issue of $19,000 for the four additional rooms. Newport is a manufacturing centre, having several large plants, and good school facilities are considered highly essential. Other outlying districts.

Including Marshallton with their fine new school, and Stanton, with a two room addition made last year, are also opposing the plan.

Cebb. who is in charge the Wheat Allotment plan for Delaware, returned from a three day conference of specialists and government agents in Washington late yesterday afternoon. to It adjudication of the cost of operation of the Imhoff tank by these incorporated areas taking advantage of this but this charge would be very minor. "Since a private water company has come through Elsmere and solved the water problems without the necessity of tfie town bonding itself, it would seem that now wculd be the proper time to construct sewers, especially under the Nation al Recovery Act. Assuming the total cost of the sewerage system is 000.

the actual cost under the National Recovery Act would be as follows: "Deduct 30 per cent as a cash grant on the part of the Federal government, which leaves a net of $28,000. The carrying charge of this $28,000, which would be in the form of bonds Issued by the town of Elsmere, would be as follows-: Interest at 4 par cent. sinking fund requirements. 30-year bonds, operating cost of Imhoff tank, $300; total. $1,919.24.

"The carrying charges yearly of $1,020 would amount to 18 cents per $100 assessed valuation figured on an -assessed valuation of $1,096,110. 'Figuring this on typical homes assessed at $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 and $4,000, it would be as follows: "Homes assessed at 51000 yearly increase in taxes $1.80 or 15 cents a month. Home assessed at $2000, yearly increase in taxes $3.60 or monthly increase of 30 cents. Homes assessed at $3000 yearly, increase in taxes of $5.40 or 45 cents monthly. Homes assessed at S4000 yearly, increase of taxes of $7.20 or a monthly increase of 60 cents.

"On the above basis it would seem that the carrying charges would not be excessive and certainly now; would be the opportune time to go ahead with the project since you have the plans already prepared and all that would really be needed would be to get in touch with the Levy Court to mak arrangements, if possible, to extend the interceptor sewer at least far enough to connect both outlets of the Elsmere system. Yours very trulv. C. Beckett." 1170111? ATUIMi1 producers of this State. At a meeting about 10 days ago at the sam uls' of members of the Inter-State Milk Producers Association of this locality when a resolution was ofTerd not acted on criticizing th of the Inter-State and rT.ic-- ing ths resignation cf H.

They stated that; the new organization would hsv no official connection the Interstate Milk Producers' Association, but they felt thy should be fully informed of" all matters con tect-ng tne producers of this State. There was considerable objection expressed to seme features of tiv new milk marketing code and this fact has probably hurried forming the organization. An organization meeting win be held in Dover on the night cf September 21.

when a constitution and by-laws will be presented and officers elected. Professor T. A. E.kr. head of the Animal Husbanirv De- Partment of the University of "Dela- ai ra-ucu ana presented the following statements: "Due to the critical period through which the dairy industry is passing at the present time it seems essential that the Delaware dairymen should establish a well integrated organization fcr the protection of their interests and for fostering anv movement that may be advisable in restoring order from the present chaos." Representing the Guernsey breeders were Frank McVaugh, Hockessm; George Green.
