SHERIFF NOW
ON SALARY
Law Allows Him Wages to
Pay WardeuS
COURT,WILL HEAR His REPORT
dc Nav Refuse to Accept the Pay
and Fight for His Fees.
Future Of Old Jail

Now that the prisoners have been re-
moved from New Castle jail. there is
much speculation as to the duties and
the emoluments of the sheriff at this
time. In accordance with the act in
relation 70 the sherim's salary, he be-
gins TO draw the sum of $1,000 yearly
as soon as he reports all of the pris-
oners turned over TO the Trustees OF
the Workhouse.
The act fixing the matter of salary
bears date OF March o. 1901, and is as
follows
Section l. That the sheriff of New
Castle county shall receive an annual
salary of $1,000, payable in quarterly
linstalments. and he shall also receive
ANNUALLY the sum of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of defraying expenses of such
deputies as are necessary in perform
ing the duties OF the office The above
amount shall be paid by the Levy
Court of said county in the same man
ner that other county salaries are now
paid.
Section ?. That the provisions Of
the foregoing section shall take effect
at such time as the said sheriff shall
deliver TO the Board OF Trustees of
the New Castle County Workhouse
the prisoners in his custody, pursuant
to the provisions of an act entitled,
An Act TO establish the New Castle
County Workhouse, and known as
chapter 247. volume 81, Laws of Della
ware.
Section 8. That all fees which are
now by law taxable and payable to the
sheriff OF New Castle county for his
own use shall continue TO be taxed as
heretofore. but the same shall be col
r lected by the said sheriff and paid into
the hands OF the county trtasurer OF
New Castle county.
a Notwithstanding the existence Of
the act, It Is probable that the sheriff
+ will fight to retain the fees he has re-
b ceived since being in office.
!. CLOSING or THE OLD JAIL
II has been several centuries since
New Castle Jail was as barren as It is
today. It eventually will pass out of
existence as a place for the retention
OF criminals. and may be turned into
: an industrial plant When given up
by the cOunty.it RENTS to the Trustees
J, of Market House Square of New Cas-
tie, which body has not yet planned a
future for It, The sheriff will even
tually remove to Wilmington, as there
will be no occasion for his living in
4 New Castle after the custody of the
q jail passes from him.
70 Sheriff Mcdaniel will not discuss the
B subject. He will retain his present
wardens until he sees just what he
needs and how many he really needs.

COMPAN MAY
NOT Build HERB
Railroad Officials Tired Of
Waiting for Privileges
From Directors

'If the Street and Sewer Department
persists i'm acting as il has in regard TO
the elevated tracks matter much longer
some other city will enjoy the benefit of
the proposed improvements" Thus spoke
an official of the F.. w. a. Il. railroad 10
reporter for the Evening journal this
morning. That the city in question will
be Chester has been strongly limited for
some time past. Continuing the discus
sion the official said that the railroad
company would not erect shops here if at
any time the City Council or Street and
Sewer Department could compel them to
remove them. Following are noted some
of the improvements which will be made
i'm case the elevated road is built here
A big force of men is at work i'm Edge
Moor grading for the new yard which
is to be constructed there. This work
will he carried on regardless of the ele-
waited road questions. But in case such
a road is not built the yard will be but a
small affair compared TO the one the COM
pany has in view, and as a consequence
of the uncertainty of the project no big
preparations can be made. The steam
shovel now is at work just north of the
four tracks and within one year from the
first of December there will be a four
track road between this city and Phila-
delphia.
III the company's project goes through
the freight depot at Fourth ana Ilnc
streets will undergo extensive repairs.
Ahe location of the house will not be-
changed. but the place will bc remodelcd
entirely and when completed viii be
twice as large as the present freight
house.
At the new yard in Edge Moor a mas
sive transfer depot will Ice erected where
freights for the different divisions will be
classified. This is an Improvement the
company has had in mind for a long time
as such depot greatly simpliies freight
transportation Its construction depends
altogether on the building Of the elevated
road through this city. however.
Other great improvements viii be made
In the way of remodclmg the freight and
passenger shops in this city. Additions
To the shops will be built and greater
forces of men employed.
These are few of the improvements
which the company will make If it Is
given the right to build an elevated road.
The construction of such a road, ofii.
cials say. would mean an increase Of at
least 900 i'm the number of the com
pany's employees The amount of money
that would be put in circulation in this
city would be- large and business men no
doubt would feel its effects.
