The Every Evening thinks Will

city hall. The Lord knows It has
been badly needed for years, but
the city has been too poor to build
one. New public buildings cost
money and new city hall would
not cost much less than the new
High school on Delaware avenue.

The Water Commissioners have
employed Wm S Hilles to look ai-
ter their end of the controversy
over their right to purchase the
Weldin farm. They mean to now
find out where they stand. Ac-
cording to three bright attorneys.
the Water Commis ssioners cannot
legally purchase the property they
have bargained for. The Commits
s'oners contend that they are
corporate body unto themselves and
they can conduct their department
as they see fit.
They say the money that comes
into the Water Department Tor wa
ter rents IS absolutely theirs. to do
as they will with. They can buy
wharf property when the city of
Wilmington has half dozen
wharves that are rented Tor a snug
sum year after year. They can
build "a water filter that cost
over s50,0O0 and possibly 500. 600.
They can expeud thousands of dol
lars on the Rockford water tower.
They say all these things are need
ed. Probably they are, and who
should be as good judges OF the
matter as the Water Commission
rrs?
AS this department pays so we'll
why should not the city have its
own electric light plant. II is easy
to find fault and it is easy 10 run Il
business where you can say, pay
up or 60 without our commodity.
This is what monopoly can do,
but no other business.
SOME men can stand prosperity.
You see evidences OF this every day
right here in Wilmington. Some
men have opportunities put within
their reach. but they have not the
sense to grasp them. Fortune sell
dom smiles on the same person
twice in lifetime, and when they
have a chance to make a name acd
competency, they should awalfen
to the fact that they are on the road
to prosperity. Nothing in this
world succeeds like success. Doa't
forget that printers ink has made
many a man as well as been his
undoing. Suce essful business men
have to work hard to achieve sue.
cess, but there is always room al
the top for the man who grasps the
opportunities presented.
THE Adams tax awwas passed
by a Democratic Legislature and
declared uncolstltutlona by a
Democratic court. Strange you
never heard that it was not urcon-
stitutiona TO collect all revenues
for Wilmington from real estate.
This is one reason why the tax
rate has been raised year after
year, until the people are asking
how much more the city fathers
will ask from the men who own
their homes. 1t is putting pre-
MUM on thrift and We do not be-
lieve that real estate should bear
all the burdens. The time has
come when halt should be called
and real estate Investments be
made attractive in Wilmington.

Impossible to Build at
Present Figures.
That Shown C0ncIusively to
Navy Department.

Washington, January 10 President
Orcutt and Judge Payson OF the New
port News Shipbuilding company, and
the Hyde Bros, representing the Bath
Iron works, held conference today with
Secretary Long and his bureau chiefs re-
specting the departments offer to each
OF these concerns of contract for build
ing sheathed battleship, providing q g
bids were brought within the appropr :
alton. 1t also was stipulated that tie
contractors should restore a number OF
items In the specifications out out by
them In their bids. Today's argument
was devoted by the representatives Of the
firm to show that ysoould not proper
ly be expected to make the heavy sacrifice
involved in restoring the items stricken
out. They produced calculations by their
experts TO establish their contention that
the ships could be built at the govern
ment figure and according to this fun
specifications only at an absolute loss.
Secretary Long took these representa-
lions under consideration and from the
character of the questions asked 1t ap-
pears that compromises can be reached
by mutual concessions, relative to these
sxcised items.

REWARD WITHDRAWN.

Topeka, Kss., January 16.-Gov. Stan

issus an offer OF reward for the arres,
of the perpetrators of yesterdays negro
burning in Leavenworth on the ground
that If the guilty persons ware arrested
they would necessarily have to undergo
the first trial In Leavsnworth county, and
on ACCOUNT OF the present condition OF
public sentiment 1t would be absolutely
useless to attempt to prosecute anybody
there for the crime.
