Lewes, April ia concrete bulk
head erected by John NJ. Vessels across
the front of his property and an un-
fenced space that was used by the late
DR.. David Hall was torn up at mid
night by agents of the Hall estate. and
there promises to be a lively tilt in
the courts over the matter The tri-
angular shaped piece of ground which
lies directly between the front of Mr.
Vessels residence and King street has
been the subject of much speculation
for several years.
DR.. Hall claimed il and the owners
of the Vessels property also claimed it,.
The matter Until the death of DR.. Hall
had been kept out of court, but the
indications now are that it win be set
tied by law. Mr.. Vessels has brought
suit through his attorneys, Charles f.
Richards and Son, for trespass and
malicious and wilful destruction OF
property.
The Hail estate has retained Attor-
neys John NJ. Richardson and Charles

Present Petition Before the

The property owners on the High

Appeals last night, asking for a re-

To the Board Of Assessment, Revision
and Appeals Of the City of Whining
ton.
Gentlemen: The undersigned. own
ers of real estate in the part of the city
of Wilmington. called the Highlands,
respectfully. but most strenuously. OBJ
iect TO the recent action Of your board
i'm classifying as built up" and not
rural or suburban" the portion of
the Seventh ward west Of Woodawn
avenue, and urge the following as
some of the reasons why we now APP
peal from such classification. not only
collectively but each OF us individu-
ally, respecting the real estate assess
ed TO us I'm the district mentioned.
]. Because the territory mentioned
| is in fact rural or suburban" and by
no stretch of imagination can IL be
fairly and truthfully described or clas-
sifed. as "built up" II would be as
true 10 classify Market street as "ru-
iral or suburban" as to classify IN,
4 Highlands as "built up"
.. Because the Highlands was taSer
into the city against the protest anC
lactive opposition of owners of real es.
tate there. and the law annexing thil
territory expressly stipulated that th'
tax rate should for a period of year,
not yet expired, be at one-half the ful
rate To make the rate now fu'l rat'
will be "a breach Of good faith.
3. Because Of the absence of thu
municipal improvements and advan-
tages. with no paved streets no sew
lers.. few lights. inadequate policl
protection. only a small quantity o
iashes removed on portions OF a yer.
few streets, we think we should not b.
taxed TO provide such city improve
ments for thel rest Of the city. II
these respects the situation is the SAM
las IL was two years ago.
! 4. Because we are advised that tn
lmethod of making the classification
was not I'm conformity 10 the law un
der which it was made and is there
fore illegal. This objection we will b
reluctant to press hoping the appea
to reason and fair dealing will prevail
without resort to law.
