. THURSDAY. APRIL 40. .sos

The opinion Of the Supreme Court
IN the appeal case OF Ewing VS..
City Of Wilmington, rendered on
Tuesday at Dover, deserves more
than passing notice. In the case
Of Seward VS.. City of Wilmington,
tried in this city in1S96, which was
an action for damages arising out
q an alleged injury caused by Mrs.
Seward stepping in a little gutter
running across the unpaved side
walk at 5th and Franklin streets.
Levi c. Bird, counsel for the plain
tiff, raised the question as to the
eonstitutionality of the Delaware
statute, exempting the city from
liability for injuries caused BY de-
fects in sidewalks, where such de-
fccts were not made by the city.
The attorneys for the city, Messrs.
Hartman and Knowles, in that case.
made a strong fight in favor of the
statute, but Judges Cullen and
Marvel decided against the statute
and city. Owing to the effective
defence put up by the attorneys for
the city, the Seward case resulted
IN disagreement, although the
jury was kept out for over n hours.
In the case OF Ewing VS.. the City of
Wilmington, William S. Hilles and
Lllburne Chandler for the plaintiff,
and Hartman and Knowles for the
city, the court reaffirmed the decls-
ion against the statute rendered in
the Seward case and by reason of
which Mrs. Ewing obtained ver-
dict for $4,000 against the city. An
appeal was taken and the case ar
gued before the Supreme Court last
June. Mr.. Hartman, for the city,
made a powerful argument and the
mastery way in which he presented
his case to the court, resulted in the
reversal of the lower court and a
setting aside of the $4,000 verdict
against the city. The effect OF this
decision will be to head off several
heavy suits for damages pending
against the city, the aggregate
amount Of the claims being not less
than $780, Mr.. Hartman deserves
the greatest credit for this, his lat
est brilliant success, and his per-
sonal popularity, together with his
proven professional ability, will
surely stand him in good stead in
the canvass be is making for re-
nomination as City Solicitor.

The resolution offered by Direc-
tor Simmons, which should by all
means be adopted, makes the officers
Of the department elected every two
years. Itprovides that OH the fourth
Tuesday in April, 1899, the officers
OF the department the secretary,
street commissioner and engineer
in charge of sewers, shall be elect
ed for term of two years each and
their successors shall be elected
bi-ennially thereafter. Heretofore
the officers mentioned have held Of
fee during the pleasure of the d.
rectors. This should not be, the
officers should be elected every two
years, as the department generally
changes politically. The officers
should be Of the same political faith
as the majority of the directors of
that body. The city will also be
divided into four districts, for each
one of which there is to be SUPER
visor, who shall daily patrol the
district over which he was appoint
ed and see that the streets and
cutters are kept clean and in good
condition and repair and perform
such other duties as may be prop
erly brought to his notice. The de
partment could easily dispense with
several of the men that have been
connected with the department since
its inception. A change is one OF
the best things to stir up the de-
partments.
