The assessment OF the property of

SSS7. 600.
In the southern district of the city

ARGUMENT CONCLUDED
IN FILTRATION CASE
Judge Edward G. Bradford
Expected to Give a De
cisioneThis Evening

Agreement on the demurrer filed in
the case Of the United States Sand
Filtration Company against the City
OF Wilmington. was concluded before
Judge Edward G. Bradford in United
states Court to-day. The court is ex-
pected to give decision some time this
week.
City Solicitor Haman's contention
in THE hearing was that the contract
entered into between the filtration COM
pany and the city was illegal because
the law requires that the Water De-
partment must receive BIDS for work
to be done and also because at the time
the contract was made the city did not
have the necessary funds to pay Tor
such plans as contracted for.
The p,aintiff company. however
claimed that the law allowed city
body to purchase leases for the use
of patents because there could be nc
bidding under such circumstances, and
that it had money to pay for the plans
because the Legislature had already
passed a law allowing the department
TO borrow 100000 to be expended or
