last recounted. The Seventh district
showed 46l undisputed votes for Boyd and
40l undisputed for White, majority Of
GO for BOYD.
The ballots objected to by counsel were
Boyd, 40, White, "a, which, if counted BY
the court as it is thought they should, will
not change the majority from the official
count in the district.
In the Ninth district all tickets cast were
objected to by Boyd's counsel on the
ground that the ballot clerk had endorsed
the ballots on the back with his name in
full instead of his initials as the law re-
quires.
1t is thought however, the court will
pass, on these tickets Notwithstanding this
small error.
Boyds undisputed vote in the Ninth dis
trlet was 50, Whites l54, a majority of 60

official count shows.

REAL ESTATE MEN CURIOUS
Over City Auditor EsilIany's Implication
That the City Is Bankrupt, Which Is Not
the Fact.

Over City Auditor Billany's Implication
That the City rs Bankrupt, Which Is MOI
the Fact.
City Auditor Billany's public state.
ment, which many people think implies
that the city of Wilmington is bankrupt,
has set real estate men wild. The state
ment has gone to the Philadelphia
papers and is being published broadcast
over the country that Wilmington is
bankrupt.
ut is the most ridiculous statement l
ever heard of city officer making"
SAID a prominent real estate man last
Monday. sit is literally untrue. 1t
all comes from Auditor Billany's
peculiar way of stating the matter. Will
mlngton is only short in her tax collec-
tons. But as financial body it stands
one Of the first in the country.
What do you suppose those New
York brokers and bankers who recently
paid premium for our city bonds will
say when they read this, as most as
suredly they will?
what nonsense all that talk of bank
ruptcy is. Its mischievousness is its
worst feature. Besides, the untruth Of it
all is seen in the fact that the assessed
value of the city is over $33,000,000
while the debt is only 100000. And
nobody knows that better than Mr..
Billany. Why was he not more guarded
in his statements than to allow the i'm.
plication to slip out abroad that Viii
mington is bankrupt.
ut is the worst blow the city has had
for many day. The meaning of bank
ruptcy is that the real estate Of the city
would not buy the bonded debt-and
how wide of the truth that is even a
Child can see
The seriousness and troublesomeness
OF the matter lies in the fact that the inn
plication on which this rumor is based
came from the mouth of Wilmington's
ofhcial finance scrutineer And for that
reason carries the official stamp on the
statement. 1t is worse than foolish. 1t
IS next to criminal in its feature of un-
guardedness at the present moment of
financial tension. 1t kills all real estate
transactions and outside investments
ana saddles on us all the awkward and
continuous duty of explanation and con-
1t is about the most reclx-
lessly foolish statement ever heard"

FOR DEEPENING TINE CHRIsrIASA


ington Strongly Endorses the Move
ment by a Big Vote.
The session of the National Board Of
Trade i'll Washington Friday was of
peculiar interest to this city.
The resolution passed by the Whining
ton Board of Trade in regard 10 the deepen
ing of the Christiana and for the general
improvement of Wilmington har6or was
on the calendar for discussion. 1t aroused
particular interest.
On account of the movement made by
delegates of the Trenton and PHILADELPHIA
representatives it looked at one moment as
II the Delaware resolution was in danger.
The representatives referred to ATTEMPTED
to incorporate it with the inland water
way canal makingit part of that project,
so far as the. congressional appropriation
was concerned.
Both President w. +. Mullen and
Daniel w. Taylor leaped to their feet and
iemphatically demonstrated against any
such promiscuous action. They clearly
demonstrated to the convention the dis
tinctiveness of the Delaware movement.
Their vigorous addresses converted such a
strong majority to their ideas that when
the vote was put on the Chrstiana i'm
provement resolution as q distinct net
there were but two or three negative votes,
These also did not oppose the project in it.
sell, but were only anxious to tack other
projects to it.
When II was all over, leading New York
and Philadelphia merchants, who seemed
thoroughly informed on the Importance
of the contention of the Wilmington dele
gates crossed over from their seats and
Messrs. Taylor and Mullen
for their stout vindication of Delaware
interests.
Afterwards Daniel w. Taylor took a
certified copy of the resolution (the origi.
nal Wilmington Board of Trade onel Of
the National Board OF Trade to the House
OF Representatives to Congressman Causey,
who warmly congratulated the De!a.
!wareans on their success. The document
is placed on file ready for the House con-
mittee on rivers and harbors when that
body is ready for action on the Whining
ton application.
General James II. Wilson, the third
delegate from the Wilmington Board of
Trade, was not present at any of the ses-
5lons OF the National Board in Washington.
