order, said 1t would he rigidly enforced.
I.e hopes the public will observe the
rule for their own safety, but if they
purrosely decline to comply with the
order he will have them elected from
the cars by nolioemen. 1t is his inten-

To Be Made In Time for Arranging for
Next Years Taxes. I ~
The resolution adopted at the meet
ing of City Council last Thursday even
ing authorizing the appointment Of
three additional men In the city tax
office to assist the assessors and COLES
tors in maxim a complete new assess
ment, will avail nothing this year, but
the appointments will be made soon
enough 10 enable the work to be done
in time to arrange for next year Is taxes.
The assessment will pe made at the
usual time, but will be more thorough.
1t is proposed to visit each property in
the city and fix its value by special
investigation. A great deal Of time will
be required, but it is believed that
with the additional men, who must be
competent for the work, there will be
no delay.
The reason given for making the com
plete new assessment in this manner is
that many property owners have been
objecting to the assessment on their
holdings on the ground that it was too
high. as compared with other proper
ties. The members of the finance DOM
mittee of City Council and the asses.
sors hope the result of the work will be
an equitable assessment.

A SPLENDID CLOCK.

Mechanism for Noting the Periods at the
New High School Building.
In Principal A. H. Berlin's office at
the High School, the new electrical
olcck has been put into operation last
week. 1t is a marvel of completeness
and is called a fve-progrsmme clock.
Every clock in the building is con.
nec.sd with this master clock, and all
move with 1t by means OF electrical
connection. There are 81 such time
pieces connected with the master clock
and with each of them is bell, which
is rung automatically for the various
school periods.
One of the principal parts of the
clock in view is a long Grass cylinder
dotted with posts, which operates be-
side smaller cylinder containing pro.
jeoticns. The contact OF the posts with
the projections takes place at timed
periods and causes the ringing of the
desired bells. For the regulation of the
hours on specific days of the week,
there is still smaller cylinder.
For the operation OF the clock, pow
erful batteries are provided and these
are in the basement OF the school. The
clock was made by Frederick Frick of
Waynesboro, Pa, and is said to be the
most complete for the purpose ever
made

COUNTY FINANCES.
Money Very Low and ofiicials arc Waiting
: for OYerdne SnInrins

Money Very Low and oficials arc Waiting
for Overdue Salaries.
The New Castle County Levy Court
is approaching the end OF It's fiscal year
with deplorable financial situation.
ItIis understood that the county has
practically nothing In its treasury, ard
it has not yet paid the salaries for last
month. A good deal OF money has been
required for court expenses and for in
terest on bonds, the latter item costing
the county $50, 900 this year.
Some months ago, it was found ex-
pedient to borrow $4,000 from the
Farmers Back and more recently that
note was renewed.
The condition is hardly surprising
one when it is recalled that the county
started upon work to the amount OF
about $40, 600 for which 1T had made no
provision in its annual budget About
$4,000 was paid on Seventh street
bridge good while ago, and that much
more will have to BIO paid In the not
very distant future. The court is pre-.
pairing to issue bonds for $40, 600 for the
completion of the bridge, and ought to
have some balance to reimburse the
other accounts after the bridge is paid
for. The contract price was s25. COO,
but some alteration in the plans will
probably add to that figure, although
the increase should scarcely eat up all
the So, GOO in addition to the $4,000
already expended.
Some time this month the court
should fix the tax rate for the next
fiscal year, beginning July 1st The
present tax rate is go cents on tho SlOO
of assessed valuation. 1t may be in
creased this year. By the time the
Adams tax money is settled up now
that the upper court has decided the
law to be unconstitutional It will
probably be found to have cost the
county a pretty penny. Some revenue
was expected from it in the year now
closing yet it has been of little benefit
to the county.

HORSE SHOW NEXT YEAR.


I Members OF the Association Well Pleased
With Their First Effort.
| Wilmington will have horse show
next year, and as often annually there
after as the circumstances will warrant.
At least, this ia the programme at
present, Judging from the opinions OF
some OF the principal members of the
Wilmington Horse Show Association.
Several we're spoSen to about the mat.
ter and they were 80 pleased with their
first effort that all believed the horse
show would be 40 annual event here
after.
Tho show which was held this week
was SUCCESS. 1t was not o money
making Insulation, but was Just what
lts promoters desired, pleasing ex-
Inhibition which paid expenses. The at
tendance was about 1000, which is con-
sidered coed for the first effort, and
the impression prevails that IL show
is given next year it will be even better
attended. The association had lived
up TO every promise. They had an
nounced that there would BIO first
class exhibition and made their word
good in svery respect. Fine horses were
tthere, the best that could be obtained;
tine programme was arranged in a

some waits. Provision was made for
accommodating the people to the best
advantage for all concerned, and, willis
there was considerable outlay in the
matter of preparation and maintenance,
the receipts will Just about pay ex-
penses. This is satisfactory, as, it was
not the intention to make any money.
Ii the same grounds are used next year,
provided there is show, the expense
OF making preparation will be less than
this year, but the show will, of course,
cost more. as it is proposed to have il
on larger scale. person who at
tended the show this week said II ex-
ceeded the first show held at Wissa-
bickon. The members OF the local
association want to keep up interest In
the horse and believe they can best do
so by having exhibitions and race
meets.
The next event will be the race meet
OF the association, which will be held
at the same place next Wednesday and
Thursday. Interesting events are on the |
card for each day and fine sport is ex-
pected.
