Attorneys have boon cry much inter
ested 10 the discussion over the cos OF
printing the advertisements Of sherIi's
sa as in New Castle county. In recent
months some Of them have noticed an
upward tendency in the bi 8, which
they have not been ab g to explain oil
the ground of the length of the adver-
tse nents. Now and again, an attorney
has felt strong disposition to question
the item OF advertising, hut, generally
speaking, did not care to become in-
yolved with the sheriff. For the same
reason, an attorney who might have
deemed it good thing TO move to sct
aside sheritf's snle on the ground of
exorbitant charges, has not done so, as
the sheriff might get back at him.
Nevertheless the attorneys be ieve
there is room for RETURN on the sub ect
Of advertising charges Some of them
believe with the The Gazette that
the law permitting the reduction of the
length of property description for the
purposes of newspaper advertis ng is
sufficiently plain to be followed with a
saving to the parties Interested, and
especially TO the debtor. Others, how
ever, hold that 1t would be very risky
for the sheriff to attempt to follow this
law. 1t is admitted that it could DC
done through the action Of an attorney
for one Of the parties interested, Eut
lawyers differ as to the elect Of the
abbreviated form in the making out
of the sherilf's deed Of sale This diff.
ference Of view was indicated the other
day, when one attorney spoke to an
The Gazette reporter in opposition
to this paper's contention concerning
the Jaw, and within minute or two,
a. second attorney discussing the same
sub iect, he'd that the law was entirely
feasible.
But whatever differences Of opinion
may exist as to the plainness of the
law and the possibility oil following it,,
it would seem that thsre can be no
doubt OF the rise in the cost OF the
sheritf's advertising bills. Here, say
the attorneys, is Legitimate place for
reform.
An examination OF the writs OF
sheriff's sales disoloses some interest
ing comparisons. No attempt was made
TO compare tho size OF the advertise.
ments, the writs being taken generally
as they came IN the Court Housa
records. In 1871, bills of Sl4. % ind
SlI.75 were noted; 1877, eight hills
ranged from Sl7.S0 to $751; 1883,
$50. 20 and 1872; 1893, $50. 20 to s36. 60
1897, S3l.S0 to S37. CO., 1898, one oil
s35. "a; 1901, s31.72 to $780, 49; une OF
SCI. 6S and one of $50. So. The last two
figures may represent farms. but the
avsrage figures seem TO be above $50,
The increased cost Of such advertis
ing appears 10 move in cycles of II
years, Thus in the seventies, the
average was apparently about els: In
the eighties, it seems to have ahout
doubled; and 10 the nineties, it All
parently rose several collars, and il
the present decade. II looks on ii it il
lowering above an average of $50.
