A ooMPLETE RETR.fcTIoM.
Withdrawal of the Charge That Mr.. Car
peuter Issued Tax Receipts in Blank.

hfthdrhwh OF the tbarEe Ihhb MR. Jar
peuter Issued Tax Receipts in Blank.
Morning News, June 4.
While the Morning Newsis not strictly
bound to express an opinion rs to
whether or not Mr.. Joseph L. Carpenter,
.Jr., when tax collector for the Second
district of this hundred, issued tax re-
ceipts in blank-ths paper never hav-
ing raised this question editorially, but
only printed what citizens generally
have had to say about it-it does feel
that it is no more than fair and Just to
state the results of its search for one of
these blank receipts.
1t is probably very well known that
we have been searching high and low
for blank receipt properly stamped,
and with Mr.. Carpenters signature at
tached to it. Such paper would un-
doubtedly have had political value at
this time, and in addition we believe
that a public officers political sins
should at least attend him through life,
if they do not follow him to the day of
judgment. AS matter of fact, then,
we have found great many response
BILE citizens who have stated to us and
to the reporters of this journal that MIR.
Carpenter did, as tax collector, issue
signed and sealed tax receipts in blank,
but we have found no such receipts.
When we began Wilmington was full
of these receipts. BY continuous search
we reduced the number to fifteen, then
to thirteen, and then to one in three
pieces, but even this one in three pieces
disappeared by continuing the search,
and we have not been able to find even
one of the three pieces. In short not
one blank receipt signed by Mr.. Car
penter has been found by us in Will
mington.
We heard of several in various parts
of the State outside of Wilmington, but
none of these has been found by us, ex-
cept one, which we were not looking
for, and which reached us indirectly, and
as to this one all that we have to say is
this-that, in our judgment, the sigma
ture of Mr. Carpenter, which it bears,
was attached to it by some form of
stamp or other Mechanical continuance.
In our judgment Mr. Carpenter is en-
titled to the benefit of this statement
which amounts to this, that there are a
considerable number of persons in Will
mington who have repeatedly said that
he did, as tax collector, issue blank tax
receipts, properly signed and stamped,
but that we have not been able to find
one receipt of this kind, issued by him,
anywhere in the State. What may come
to light in the future we cannot say, but
up to date Mr.. Carpenters denial of
having issued tax receipts in blank is
justified by the results Of our patient
and determined investigation.

CITY AND sCHooI TAX.
Tho Rate for the Ensuing Year Estah
Iished Mt RI,4O,


The tax-rate for the ensuing year has
been fixed at $1.40: 81 on the 800 fol-
city purposes and 40 cents for school
This is the same rate as last year.
Tho assessment of the two city dis
tricts is as follows;
Northern district-For city, $tS,203,-
$50 at 81; for school, $18,331 100 at 40
cents.
Southern district-For city, $15,610,-
004 at 81; for school, $15,S29, ,673 at 40
cents.
The errors and rebates will be about
$4,000; say $4,000 or $1,000 for the
Southern district and the balance for
the Northern. There are additional re-
ductions this year on account of marsh
lands. These influence the totals in both
Northern and Southern districts. One
firm alone in the latter was exempted
$4,000 in its assessment valuation this
year under the Improved Marsh Lands
bill enacted at The recent session of the
Legislature.
The city assessment will total of $685.
S13,543 which produces at the dollar
per cent tax rate $336, 6,135 for city pur-
poses. The school assessment totals
$94, ,160,S63 producing at 40 cents the
sum of $136,643. This gives total tax
at $1.40 per 300 of SHAFTS for city
and school purposes for the coming
year.
The tax warrants will be ready and

TWO MORE CASES DISMISSED.


James II. Pierson was yesterday
week arrested by Sheriff Simmons, on
capias.and held in $4,000 bail for trial
at court. The capias was issued at the
instance of Frank j. Meredith, grocer
at the southwest corner of Third and
Jefferson streets, and it charged Pierson
with "wilfully and unlawfully injuring
the business of his employer" Pierson
was clerk in Meredith's grocery store,
but recently left and Meredith claims
that he has since been circulating stories
about his credit among those from
whom Meredith has been purchasing
supplies. Meredith also has number
of letters which he says Pierson wrots
to various dealers warning them not 10
trust him. as his credit was bad. Thess
proceedings, he claims, impaired his
credit and affected his business, where
upon he sought redress by law.

the oIrr SEWER SYSTEM.
The Street Departments Plans for Com
prehensiye Sewer System.


The second step towards the requisi-
ton Of a comprehensive sewerage sys-
tenn for the city was taken at last night
weeks meeting of the Street and Sewer
Department.
The Brandywine interceptor controls
the outflow for the northern watershed
Of the city and the new plans will pro-
vide for the southern section of the city.
The new plans were presented by
Sewer Engineer T. Chalkley Hatton.
They were prepared by Draughtsman
Theodore A. Leisen of the engineering
department. 1t is proposed that the
sewer start at Eighth and Rodney
streets, following the proper Topographic
cal curvatures to Maryland avenue and
Beech street, then down Beech street to
the Christiana. The sanitary portion of
sewage is intercepted at Beech street
and Maryland avenue, where it empties
into Clement Run. The part between
Fourth and Eighth streets will not be
constructed at present. The sewer is
contemplated to drain the southwestern
part Of the city. Eventually it is pro-
posed to extend the interceptor along the
southeastern portion of the city. Other
sewer extension plans were considered,
including the Rattlesnake sewer, be-
tween Gilpin and Delaware avenues;
the Van Buren branch to Clayton street,
and one along Market street from the
court house to the Christiana.
The total expenditure under the
present contemplated plans is about
$4,000 or $4,000, of which the Rod
ney and Beech streets sewer will cost
$21, 900.
Messrs. Carpenter and Gawthrop in
spected the plans carefully. 1t is under
stood that bids for the new work will
be called for at an early date.

OLD cUsroM .AnOLIsHEp.
Town Bell Taken Down and the Office of
BeII-rinrcr A hnIisIntl

Bell-ringer Abolished.
EAsToN, NlD., June 3.-The town bell
in the court house steeple, which has
been rung twice day for 6s years, had
its last daily ringing to-day by Bailiff
William Grace in pursuance of an order
by the town commissioners discontinue
ing its use except as fire alarm bell.
The bell was bought in 1928 by a sub
scription of the citizens of Easton, and
by consent of the levy court placed in
the court house steeple to be under con-
troll of the commissioners of Easton for
the convenience of the "houses OF
public worship" on Sundays and the
academy and other seminaries" on
week days. As the churches and schools
now have their own bells, the ringing of
tho court house bell for these purposes
is useless.
John Fleming, who went in office
July l1th, 1928, was the first official
bell-ringer; the second was Nicholas
Valiant, who died in office, and was
succeeded by his widow, Margaret
Valiant, who held the office three years.
1t is worthy of note that her candidacy
for the office was never opposed, while
in all the years when man wanted the
office a half dozen other men were con-
testing for it. Among the notable bell
ringers was Soloman Barrett, reyolu-
tionary hero, he having been drummer
boy at the battle of Cowpens, and seen
other service in the revolutionary strug-
gle. In his old age the stipend he got
as bell-ringer in Easton was sufficient
to keep him comfortably. The late Gen.
iIench Tilghman had an oil painting of
this veteran, made by a distinguished
artist, which now hangs in the office Of
his son, Col Oswold Tilghman. Major
Barrett worked the bell ropes for eight
years. Wilmington Cox, William X.
Rathell, William H. Bostick and other
well-known and manly men were at
one time or another courthouse bell
ringers. William H. Groome, a promi-
nent merchant of Easton, and long
time president of the Farmers Bank,
got up the subscription in 1923 to buy
the bell, and after its arrival it was put
on exhibition in his store.
