company. which was given notice OF by
Mr. Dempsey, said it wan mistake.
There ia no desire to have the com
pauys charter amended, but simply to
amend the city charter no as to provide
for this increased appropriation.
Tho House bill authorizing tbs Gov
ernor to sppointa notary public for the |
insuranco and real estate business OF |
William II, Robinson, in Wilmington,
had close call. 1t was reported favor
ably from committee anu mr. Alrichs
asked that it he read for passage. BE.
fore the vote was taken MIR. Pyle said
il ssumod to him that the passage OF
the bill would be in direct violation OF
the new Constitution, which forbidH
special Legislation. He spoku in the
highest terms OF Mr.. Robinson, but
said no did not want to see anything
ione that was not constitutional. Re
marks were also made by Mes1rB. Al
richs and Fenimors, and, as tnere was
o difference OF opinion Rs to whether
the bill could be construed HI special
legislation, providing, as it docs, for
public officer. all objections were with
drawn and all of the members voted in
the affirmative.
Representative Mccoy gave notice OF
bill 10 the House which will interest
the entire rural population OF New
Castle county. 1t provides that all of
the money collected for road taxes shall,
in the future, he collected by collectors
appointed by the road commissioners
and be paid to the commissioners, in
stead of going into the county TREASURY.
This will insure the expenditure of the
money where it is collected.
Representative Donaldson introduced
his bill to tax Investments. 1t il simi-
| lar TO the Adams tax law, and it's main
features, which were printed when the
bill was given notice of, have not been
changed very much. One feature OH
literatea the oath in foreclosing mort
cages, judgments, &C. Securities OF
savings bankB are to be taxed, hut
money borrowed from building loans on
houses is to be exempt.
At the AFTERNOON session of the House
the bill permitting the coluring of CLEO
margarine was reported unfavorably,
and in all probability it will not pass.
Some of the members OF the Legisla-
ture think tho hill diyerting the tavern
and marriage licenses frum the school
fund should not have been passed until
the general appropriation bill had be-
come a law, and argue that il any
thing should happen to prevent the
passage of the general appropriation
bill, which, however, il Is obligatory
to pasa, the school fund would be shorn
next year of $l0O. 600. There is really
no neod Of any fear on this point, az
the appropriation bill la one Of the
necessities of the present session.
