WILL CAUSE
MUCH SURPRISE
New Assessment tG Lower
City Taxes in Future
Property in Wilmington Is Not As
SeSSed Within S4,OOO,OOO Of
It's Value

Citizens Of Wilmington who are inter-
ested in the question of taxation are also
interested in the result of the special as
sessment now being made 10y the board
of special assessors appointed by City
Council
The object of the appointment Of the
special assessors was TO obtain some idea
Of the exact value of purchasable real
estate in order that each property owner
might be taxed according to the property
owned by him, and that the rich and the
poor should share alike in the subject Of
taxation.
The men named by Council are Hubert
Cassidy, Charles Foulk and Marion
Wood. two being Democrats, but each
practical business man. In their valua-
tion Of property politics does not enter.
There is no friction between them and in
every assessment made they are unani-
nous in their opinion Much surprise and
dissatisfaction. however will be express
ed by property holders when the figures
are compared with those of the city as
SCISSORS books. 1t is estimated that the
new assessment will raise the value Of
taxable property more than $4,000, OO0 by
which, it is believed, that if the report
of the special assessors is accepted by
/ Council the city's tax rate will be lowered
TO S1.2O
/ The assessors in going about have
/ found many peculiar things in connec-
tion with the present assessment, which
has been copied it is said from year 10
year. from one book to another without
any effort being made to ascertain the
real value of properties. In some in
stances they have found properties owned
/ by the wealthy that have not been placed
upon the books for some cause. In other
cases they have found smaller houses
owned by the middle class" of people
which were rated far above their value.
In many cases where manufacturing
pants were visited. it was found that the
assessment did not reach one-third Of the
actual value. At one place visited the
company's plant was assessed at $4,000
when in reality the value was over $780,.
600. The assessment was raised to $780,
600. In another instance two properties
on the South Side which almost face each
other were increased, one $4,000. and the
other s15,000 the assessors believing that
they were more valuable today than they
were ten years ago. In other cases il
has been found that small frame houses
whose value has decreased by age wer,
assessed at the same figure as they wer,
the day hey were built. Assessments OF
these properties were lowered and it il
believed that the new assessment will moi
only bring the tax rate down, but vii
make an equal division of taxation upon
Ian those who own valuable properties

NO SHORTAGE OF
COAL Is EXPECTED

Wilmingtonians need not worry
about a shortage in the supply of coal
during the coming Christmas-tide. The
recent storm. which tied up certain di-
visions of the Lehigh Valley, Reading
and Pennsylvania railroads, caused a
temporary decrease in the supply of
this necessary. but all the lines are
again open, and there will be ample
supplies of coal 10 meet all demands
Dealers say that there is absolutely no
cause for any alarm about a probable
shortage.
The coal men have been getting high
prices all summer and fall, when sup
plies were abundant. and they say that
"a temporary shortage would have been
mo justification whatever for an ad-

den, the ferns and palms being of her own cultivation.
 In her collection she has a Boston Sword fern that has reached such perfec- tion as to call forth expressions of won der and admiration for the success of Mrs. Harris in the cultivation of ferns. This fern was photographed the past week, but owing to It's size and the con- tinuous motion of the leaves, the photog- rapher had some dirculty in photograph ing 1t.
 In circumference the fern measures g feet and many of the "swords' measure 59 inches in length and inches wide.
 Mrs. Harris planted the fern a little more than a year ago. It was small little plant ans gave no hint of the lux uriance 1t has now reached. Its tropical. beauty and freshness would have to be seen to be fully appreciated. All the palm growers are asking Mrs. Harris the secret of her success. In talking with some friends Mrs. Harris laughingly said that in re-potting the fern she had util- ized a large beer keg and that this might have acted as a stimulant.
 q really attribute my success" said Mrs Harris, ''to air and water. I have always seen that my palms and ferns have sulcient sun and water. This fern has been watered twice day this sum mer, owing to the excessive dryness. I kept the fern in my hall through the win ter, but now that it has reached such
