BOARDING STABLES TO Be VISITED

In responsible a resolution passed by
the Levy Court yesterday, all the county
assessors for Wilmington hundred re-
ported to the court this morning. The
members OF the court claim that some
of the assessors have not made a com
plete assessment OF the personal prop
erty in Wilmington, as required by law
and the effect OF the resolution passed
was that they would have to 60 over that
work again and that their checks would
be held up until it is done.
The assessors are Victor Gael, Robert
L. Chadwick, Harvey Hoffecker, Joseph
B. Bierman and William ]. Bayley. They
were told why they were sent for and that
It was thought!there we're large number
of horses in the city that bad not been
assessed.
Several of the assessors contended that
as far as they knew, the assessment was
complete and that their checks should
not be held up. Members OF the court
contend that there are many horses III
boarding stables not assessed.
After a conference with the assessors
Commissioner Scott moved that the reso'
luton holding up the assessors checks b'
reconsidered. He explained that the
assessors had agreed to 60 over their dis
tricts and put on any personal property
that NAV have been omitted. They vii
report to the court on Thursday. Ih'
payroll Of county officers, including th'
assessors, was then passed, Scott s motion
being adopted.

mission to use the cells in the basemen

Washington, Feb. 27.-1he Interstate
Commerce Commission today, in an
opinion by Commissioner Prouty, an
nounced its decision In tho casee OF the
Fred c. Clark Co. against the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern Railway Co. and
others and the Waverly oil works against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. and others.
In these cases the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad Co. was the prin-
cipal defendant.
The commission holds that the COM
hination rates on petroleum and its
products from Cleveland and Pittsburg
TO points reached by the New York New
Haven q Hartford Railroad Co. result
in unreasonable and unjust rates; that
the refusal OF the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad Co. TO consent to
participate in through rates in that traffic
is unjust and unreasonable, and that the
situation is such as TO operate greatly to
the advantage OF the Standard Oil Co.
The decision further says that there is
no competitive relation between petroleum
and is products on the one hand and
other articles Of traffic on the other and
that the failure of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. 10 pro-
| NlNo lolnl IhNtn Oh INNiNiNAlH alih iii
products, while maintaining joint rates
on other traffic, docs not constitute
wrongful preference and advantage.
In It's final conclusion the commission
holds that the act to regulate commerce
does not authorize the commission to
compel the establishment of joint rates
by connecting carriers, nor to describe
the divisions of joint rates or the condi-
tions OF interchange in case the connecting
carriers fail to agree IN respect thereto,
and IT, therefore, concludes that, not
withstanding the combination rates COM
planned of are unjust and unreasonable
and the general shipping situation h such
as TO work practical monopoly in favor
OF the Standard Oil Co., the commission
is without authority to grant relief in
these cases and the petitions therefore
are dismissed.
