AN EXPLANATION


S Congressman L. H. Ball on Thursday
sent letter to the Dover Ilader In answer
to the comments made on his retaining
the $3.50 allowances. He makes the
statement that the money has been
deposited to his account in the Farmers
Benk in Wilmington.
A copy of the letter is as follows:
'FAULKLAND, DEL, April "a, 1901.
To THE EDITOR OF THE INDEX,
Dover, Delaware.
SIR:-In recent issue of your paper
appears an editorial commenting on an
allowance made by a recent Legislative
committee appointed to settle with my
self as retiring State Treasurer, which is
incorrect and misleading. This joint
legislative committee consisting Of Sena-
tors Abbott and Clements, and Repre-
sentatives Kitchen, Layton and Holcomb,
made allowance aggregating 2,150, as
follows: 81, 800 for the retiring State
Treasurer; $400 for clerk hire, and $3.50
for attorneys fees, in the usual way that
such committees have heretofore done.
After this allowance had been made,
was advised, that while the course of the
committee was following precedents, it
would be better to avoid any question Of
its legality, to have it passed upon by the
legislature. Accordingly it was supposed
to be placed in the claim bill prepared by
the committee on claims and the legis-
lative attorneys. but it appears only in
the Senate resolution authorizing pay
ment of the claims Of the Senate.
When the legislative committee settled
and turned over the assets of the State
and the cash balances to the present
State Treasurer, there remained to my
credit as State Treasurer upwards of
$500, representing the allowances made
by the committee and checks issued, but
not yet paid by the bank. As soon as
any question was raised as to this allow
ance, and while the legislature was in
session, presented to Senator Abbott,
Chairman of the Joint Committee, the
checks covering the allowance, which
had been drawn by their direction, and
he refused to accept them. Immediately
after the adjournment of the legislature,
/ offered to hand check for the amount
to the present State Treasurer, Martin B.
Burris, who also declined to receive it on
the ground that he had already received
the entire balance which had been certi-
fed by the legislative committee as being
due to him. The amount of this allow
ance has consequently remained as a
balance to my account as State Treasurer
in the Farmers Bank, remains SO at this
time, and will remain there until it is
brought properly before the next legis-
lature for such action as it may see
proper to take. These are the facts in
the case and request that you publish
them. Yours truly,
L. H. BALL.

Notice to Farmers

If you are going to need American or
Page Fence this Spring you will make a
big mistake unless you put your order in
without further delay. This is the great
est year the country has ever known for
Wire Fence, and the factorys are now far
behind with there orders and if you put
off buying you will surely get left. It is
also the opinion of Wire people that the
prices are going to advance. Measure off
about what you will want and call at our
Office and we will give you the very
lowest price possible. We have in stock
for you to see all the different sizes of
Hog and Fence Wire, also Barb Wire.
Leave your order and we will put the
Fence up when ever you say. We ask
no settlement until after the Fence is
up. We buy in car load lots and have
now orders booked for over 5000 rods.
Respectfully yours.
