FARNHURsT HOSPITAL CROwDED. Tho
Delaware State Hospital at Farnhurst is
now more crowded than ever before
IN Its history, and were it not for the
fact that the new addition will he
shortly ready for occupancy the
crowded condition of the institution
would be serious. According to the
report OF superintendent Hancker.
there are now 271 persons in the hos
pltal, which is one more than estimate
submitted to the General Assembly
when the increase appropriations were
asked for. The addition built to the
hospital will be ready for occupancv
IN a short time and then the pressure
on the main building will be relieved.
All the stories about the mosouitoes
being so bad at the watering places
appear to have originated in the fertile
brain OF some newspaper reporter. It
is scarcely possible that the mosquito
was so inquisitive as to look around for
MS board bill and whisper a warning
to the delinquent one. Still the wet
weather was the means of raising n
crop OF mosquitoes, the like of which
has not been seen for some years, even
n their favOrite haunts. Very few of
he watering places have advertised
'hese attractions this season, but the
'lze of the ones read about is some-
hing startling. There are Delaware
md Jersey mosquitoes, but the Jersey
Insects take the medal.
The ADAMS Tax BILL.--The Adams
AK bill will not go into effect until
December. The New Castle Levy
Court came to that decision after get
ing an opinion from their attorney,
ohm II. Rodney. The act as passed
provides that all investments which
ome under the law shall be subject
tax after Aug. 1st, but no time is
pecitied for making the assessment.
he assessors will receive their in
tructiOns from the Levy Court some
lme next month. The bill is not
popular one and we should not be
urprised to see it repealed by the
legislature when it meets in January.
Ill mortgages are now being drawn
nth clause in them to the effect that
he debtor has paid no part of the tax /
or will he be required to pay taxes to
e assessed thereon during the exis-
ence of the debt.
