WHEN HE RETURNS.

The agitation over the water ques-
tion has subsided, and the parties at
interest win await the decision of the
Court OF Chancery. which fortunately,
has not yet been abolished The ques-
tion involves a large sum of money
about SIS for every man. woman and
child in Wilmington.
This case will be heard when the
City Solicitor gets back from his va
cation.
For a long time people have been
asking why the water tower in Rock
ford Park, which cost something like
100000, and which was intended as an
observatory, from whose height the
visitors TO the park might get one OF
the most magnificent panoramic views
anywhere, has not been opened. 1t ap-
peats VtllAt- there are no difficulties In
the way but formal agreement be-
tween the Dupont Company and the
city.
This will also be attended to when
the City Solicitor returns from his va
cation.
The Board OF Education-if there Is
a body at present entitled 20 use that
name-has for some time been wonder
ing where il is at" The moneys which
Il needs for its legitimate purposes are
being held back pending the decision
Of the true status OF the body. and the
manner in which the money is to be
receipted for and expended,
This will doubtless be untanaled
when the City Solicitor returns from
Europe.
We notice, too, a very interesting
case Of taxation that win have TO be
determined by expert opinion. 1t re-
lates 10 the Home OF Merciful Rest
The legislature at it's last session pass
ed a measure exempting the institution
from taxation but the question is how
much OF the taxes collected IL TO bs
returned2 Whether IL must be adjusted
in accordance with the fiscal or tn,
calendar year?
The City Solicitor will be asked for az
opinion when he returns to Wilmington
There are numerous other matters
that have arisen in the course of 4
month that need for their solution th'
expert knowledge for which the cit
pays. We may be wrong. but it woul,
seem that it should always be possible
TO reach our law officer and to com
mand his services.
This may also be referred to the Cit
Solicitor on his return. But suppose n
should never return7 We don't car
to contemplate our condition Of help
lessness.
