DIR. L. H. BALLS LETTER.
Reference to 1t by the Dover Index
in It's Yesterdays Issue.

After printing the letter of DIR. II. H..
Ball, former Seate treasurer, the Dover
Index, in it's issue of yesterday makes
the following reference to the letter in
it's editorial columns:
"From the foregoing letter il is seen
that the eX-State treasurer. according to
his own statement, has the constructive
possession Of the $3.50 to which we al
luded in last weeks issue.
1T was not the inteHtion of the man
agement of this paper to assail the char
acter OF Dir. Ball, but to call attention
to the fact Of his having failed to turn
over the amount in controversy to his sue
cessor. State Treasurer Burris.
Assuming the statement of the ease
as set forth in the letter Of DR. Ball to
he correct, then the state or DIR. Ball is
to be deprived of the use of this money
for the period of two years on account
Of bunglesome procedure on the part Of
the patics concerned.
''fhe information on which we based
last weeks article was obtained from
thoroughly reliable sources and it is still
claimed by our informants that we were
correct in our statements, with the only
exception of the institution Of legal pro
ceedings. This raises question Of
veracity which we are unwilling ia
undertake TO decide"

Sixth and King streets viii be taken out.
The Street and Sewer Directors at
their special meeting yesterday afternoon
decided to notify the company to remove
them.
1t appears that there is a controversy
between the telephone company and the
directors over little matter of fifteen
cents.
The directors have contract with the
telephone company whereby it pays for
telephone service by the month. The
payment is made by check. The trouble
arose over the omt-of-town calls for which
an extra charge is made.
Secretary Wiley has been in the habit
Of collecting payment from the persons
making the out-of-town calls and then
turning ii over to the telephone com
pany.
The company has positively refused to
accept these payments and demand that
it all he contained in the monthly check.
The directors say this cannot we'll be
done as individual calls cannot be paid
for by the monthly check through the
city treasurer.
The directors decided that as there
We're Belmarvia telephones in all the
| offices. they could well do without the
other phones.
