This action wipes out a county institu-
tion, which has existed since January 30,
1929 AT that time a law was passed
which fixed the number Of commissioners
at eleven. There were, at that time
only nine hundreds Christiana
and Appoquinimink hundreds had
two members each until they were
divided and the hundreds Of Blackbird
and Brandywine hundreds were created
from them. But since 1920 the member
ship has continued TO be eleven.
The Members Fell Out.
The meeting to. day was not a cheerful
one The members evidently disliked
the dissolution of what have proved very
pleasant and profitable relations. The
desk effects wero packed during recess
and the members made every preparation
for their FINAL adjournment

session began. A resolution making an
additional appropriation Of $40 TO Red
Lion hundred was offered by Mr.. Clark
and adopted.
Debating Election Payments.
The committee on inspectors and
assessors presented report max
ing the final allowances to reg
istration and election expenses.
It was offered as final and the voters
assistants were thereby prevented from
receiving any pay, as the committee de.
cidol that the county could not pay
either registration clerks or voters as
sistants.
Mr.. Jolls made statement defending
the committee in its action in this re
spect
Mr.. Hutchisop said he really thought
it lust that the men be paid, especially
| the registration clerks. Kent county
has paid them and why not New Castle
county Justice between man and man
| demands IL. He would only pay for one
clerk to each registrar One man could
not registrar all the men. 10 was neces-
sarv for the registrar TO have n clerk.
They should be paid a good comoensa-
tion for their work.
Jolls-"Well, then, just amend that.
The law is very specific as to the ex-
penses TO be paid by the county. There
is no provision for such payment
Hutchison-"A clerk told me that
Senator George Gray said that the clerks
could compel the county to pay them by
means Of a maudamus.
Sutton-"The matter should be
brought before the Legislature and let It
be determined whether they should be
paid, and, If So whether the county or
State should pay them.
The report was adopted without call
ing the ayes and nays.
