GREAT BUILDING BOOM
IN THE NINTH WAR
Immense Tract Which Was Farm Land Few Yea
Ago Purchased and Cut Up in Building L Lots-Near
400 Houses in Course of Construction

That Wilmington now has building
boom there is no doubt. Aside from the
manufacturing plants being put up and
dwellings being built in other sections Of
the city there are upwards to 400 homes
either in actual course of construction or
that win be started within a few days in
the Ninth ward alone.
This section promises to become one of
the best in the city in a few years. Thrift
IS showing everywhere and soon what
we're meadows last year. will be beautiful
residence streets. well-paved. The chirp-
ing Of birds viii give place ITO the clang Of
the trolley bells and merry children will
play where short time ago sleepy COWS
grazed.
Streets Laid Out.
It is impossible for one who has not
visited this section for some time to real
lie to what extent the improvements have
reached. The lots are all laid out in even
squares and the section will be made up
Of two and three-story houses with all the
modern conveniences.
In all the G'ouses now being built cement
cellars. gas and water pipes are being
placed They are being terraced and the
majority of them have front porches.
The rumor which probably did a great
deal to keep people from purchasing
property there regarding the unhealth-
fulness of the locality Is ungrounded. The
houses are all built on a firm foundation
and not on made ground as was reported.
Work of Local Capital.
That this new locality was settled is
due to the Landhth Improvement Com
pany. which IS composed entirely Of local
capital. They have expended between
$3.50 OOc and s1.OOO.OOO on the enterprise.

Besides the Landlith Improvement Conn
pany there are a great many persons who
have purchased lots and will build houses
Independent of the corporation. There has
been about 600 Of these lots disposed of to
individuals and most of them have signi-
fed their Intention of building in the
spring.
A person with a capital of $500 can buy
a home here and pay THE remainder on
the easy payment plan.
BY the 25th Of March there will be over
800 of the houses finished and ready for
occupancy. Already some Of them are oc-
cupled, but on the regular moving day.
when the leases on their homes elsewhere
expire, there will be an exodus to the new
section.
Extending Trolley Road.
In tho spring the trolley roads win be
extended. The Peoples line will have cars

sECY. SHAW DENIES.
That Certain Removals In n. Y. Gus
tom House Were Political

Washington, March 2,-secy, of the
Treasury Shaw today denied the re-
port that certain removals in the GUS
toms service at the port Of New York
were being made for political reasons,
He said the removals were Cor the good
Of the service and as business propo-
sitlon,
The changes at the port, he said
were not made at the instance of the
senators of New York, although with
their acQuiescence and upon the rec
ommedation of the collector and the
appraiser The secretary said there
was nothing sensat lonal In connection
with the removals, but that the govern
ment lost more money through ine0l-
cheney than 1t did through the actual
fraud of customs officials The changes
were in the interest OF more efficient
service. He said the removals had moth
ing to do with the silk frauds and
would have no effect upon prosecutions
now In the hands Of Special Dist
Atty, Smith, in charge Of the cases.
He said there were 1900 persons con-
nected with his department and that
a private business OF that extent and
importance would have removals every
day. He thought there was more dan
ger OF inefficient men being retained
for political purposes than Of efficient
men being discharged for such reasons,

DISPATCH FROM sMooT.
Boise Ida, March 2.-In the house
today u dispatch from senator.elect
Smo0t Of Utah was read concerning the
resolution passed on Saturday indors-
ing him and disappearing the protests
against his being seated as member
OF the senate.
The senate devoted part of the day
to contest over the beet sugar bounty
Dill. on Saturday an amendment had
been adopted in committee of the whole
excluding any company from partlci-
pating In the bounty that employed
alien labor When the senate got into
committee today that amendment was
missing, and the fact aroused some
sharp discussion In the interim, how
ever, Senator Brigham Of Latah had
changed his attitude toward the meas
ure and when the Amendment was
again offered II was beaten and the bin
was recommended for passage without
amendment.
The senate passed a bill for an issue
Of $4,000 of bonds for Improvements at
the state university and another for
$4,000 of bonds for the Albion normal
school.
The state depository bill, already
passed by the senate, was the bone of
contention in the house. 1t was
amended so as to make the state treas
urer also member Of the board of
deposits As It now stands, this board
Is composed of the governor attorney
general treasurer and auditor A
night session is being held and this bill
Is still occupying attention.

INTERSTATE COM. REPORT
Sent to Senate In Compliance with
Resolution.

Washington, March 1.-The interstate
commerce commission today sent TO the
senate it's reoprt in compliance with a
resolution OF the senate directing the
commission TO investigate the report
differences between import and domes-
ti6 rates from January TO July. 1909,
The reoprt indicates that during the
six months in Question the published
rates from ports OF entry to destina-
tions on traffic imported through North
Atlantic reports We're maintained with
out exception, and that the published
rates on domestic tariff from those
ports also had been observed during
that period, IL was admitted however
that departures from published rates
formerly were not infrequent Cement
salt. iron ore and salt cake are articles
used TO illustrate wide differences be-
tweent the import and domestic rates
from ports Of entry 10 Interior destna-
tons, which nearly or fully equals or
exceed the amount OF the customs duty
Carbonate Of potash, on which there Is
no duty, takes a rate from North At
lantic ports 10 Chicago OF Is cents per
100 pounds less on import than on do
nestle traffic, and from one port such
difference Is greater than the import
rate.
The commission states that II has
found II difficult 10 compare the duties
with differences in rates between I'M
port and domestic traffic. because the
duties in a large majority OF cases are
based wholly or partly on value while
the rates are based on weight because
the rates on each class into which In
land traffic Is divided apply TO a great
many articles OF diverse character and
widely different value. and because the
several commodity rates mentioned in
the tables covered a number Of grades
Of the same article. on which varying
duties are imposed Many variations
were found between the description OF
an article IN the tariffs OF the carriers
and In the customs laws.
