MUST PAY GROUND RENT
CITY SOLICITOR CONRAD GIVES
OPINION.
REGARDING THE PAYMENT OF
TAXES BY CITY MARKET HOUSE
COMPANY TO CITY COUNCIL.

At last nights meeting of City Coun-
ell, the matter of collecting taxes on
the city market house was taken up
and acted upon.
Chairman Kane Of the Finance Com
mittee, presented a communication
from City Solicitor Conrad in refer
ence to the market house property.
The company renting the market house
was compelled to pay county taxes on
the property, but it claimed that it
was exempt because the property be-
longs to the city and demanded their
return. Council declined to return the
amount and the company refused to
pay the rent since 1898. Mr.. Conrad
decided Council had no right to refund
the money, and a resolution was pass
ed notifying the company that unless
the rent is paid by April 10, the city
solicitor will proceed to collect the
amount due. $1,000.
The Market House Company owns
the building, but the city owns the
ground on which it is erected, and the
company pays an annual ground rent
OF $500. 1t is claimed that if the COM
pany has paid county taxes illegally it
should endeavor to collect the amount
from the Levy Court.
The usual monthly garbage bills and
the bills OF the five county assessors, OF
$500 each. We're ordered paid.
City Auditor Pyle reported having
deposited $21.38 received from Clerk OF
the Market COnnell to the credit of the
Mayor and Council. He also reported
having received a check from the
Water Department for $4,000 the
amount loaned by the department to
the Council.
The report Of the Sinking Fund Com.
mission, printed last week, was read
and filed.
The miscellaneous payroll of So
S66.S6; police payroll of $5,657.14, and
Council payroll Of S276.26, were Or
dered paid.
The interest list for April, amount
ing TO s37,336, and bonds due April l
amounting to S14.291.5O, were ordered
paid.
The city treasurer reported the bal.
anee in bank to be s49, ,093. .75: received
Of Thomas S. Lewis, $1,000; Eugene M
Sayers, 1915.

Having been authorized by Bishop
Andrews to do so. Presiding Elders
Watt Corkran. Baker and Martindale,
of the Wilmington Methodist Confer
ence, met in Dover today to adjust
some of the ministerial appointments
recently made, and over which there
has been some dissatisfaction.
The result of the conference will
probably be that Rev. +. c. Mace will
remain as pastor Of Kingswood, and
Rev. L. p. Karholsen will not be trans
ferred from the Central New York
Conference. Rev. H. S. Dulaney, in
stead of coming to Kingswood, will
probably go to Millington, Md, where
he was first assigned by the bishop;
Rev. w. w. Chaires will probably re-
main at Tilghman's Island, according
to the original assignment; Rev. e. II.
Collins may go to Millsboro. and Rev.
/. G. Fosnocht to Whitesville.
The case of Rev. w. A. Wise, who

who expresses unwillingness to go, Will
also be considered.

To the Editor Of the Herald:
Recent dispatches from Milford, Del.
published in the newspapers OF this
city announcing that contracts have
been made by millinery merchants Of
New York with persons in Milford for
20 600 birds for Easter bonnets, call for
o most emphatic denial from the Mil
linery Merchants Protective Assceia-
ton. Of this city.
All who are familiar with the trade
know that birds and bird plumage are
not desirable for Spring and Summer
trimming. The only parts Of a wild
bird, native TO the states. used at the
present time are pigeon wings, which
are furnished by taxidermists. who OBJ
tain them from shooting clubs. Dealers
will not accept bird plumage from
farmers and amateur hunters. because
they do not know how 10 prepare the
plumage for use.
