Board Of Revision Considering an
Appeal Made by the P, B. &
W. Co.. With Respect to
Elevated Structure
and Shops.
INVOLVING ABOUT 100000
OF Which Nearly 100000
is on the Elevated Wall and
100000 on the New
Plant at Todd's Cut.

The p, B. & W. Railroad Co. has
appealed from the city assessment on
its elevated railroad and the new.shops
at Todd's Cut, the amount involved be-
ing about g. 900, 600. John Biggs, at
torney for the company, and o. V.
Bingham, the company's real estate
agent, had a hearing on the appeal
last night before the Board of Assess
ment, Revision and Appeals. City
Solicitor Townsend was also present
on behalf OF the city.
The company protests against the
assessment of about Sl,500, 600 placed
by the assessors on the elevated rail-
road, and asks for a reduction of the
assessment on the Todd's Cut shops,
which amounts to about S400, 900.
The company contends that the ele-
waited structure is on its right of way
and is not taxable, in view Of the fact
that by a legislative enactment the
company pays $40, 600 year,to the State
in lieu of all tax on the right of way
in the State. The claim on behalf Of
the city is that the assessors have acted
under authority given in the law TO
assess all buildings, whether on the
right Of way or not, constituting the ele-
waited railroad wall to be a building.
While no action was taken last night,
the sentiment of the members of the
board was to allow the assessment to
stand, with a view TO having the
matter taken into court on an appeal.
1t was held that judicial interpreta-
tion of the law on this subject would
settle the matter and all parties in in
terest would know how TO proceed in
the future.
Az to tha aasesanent IN tba Todd,s
Cut shops, the company claims that
it is excessive, in view of the fact
that some Of the buildings are not OF
fast land, being on ground which is ex-
empt from taxation for 10 years. In
order to reach a decision on this point
the members OF the board decided TX
visit the shops this afternoon.
Before passing finally upon eithe
matter the members OF the board will
have conference with City Solicito
Townsend.

BAI1LESHlP RESOLUTIONS.
Adopted Last Night by tho Brownson 1
brary Association.

Adopted Last Night by tho Brownson IL
brary Association.
The Brownson Library Association,
at a meeting last night, adopted the
the following, drafted by a committee
composed Of John j. Mckinley,
Michael @. Flood and John J. Farley
Whereas, The Congress is now con-
sidering the act authorizing the build
ing OF a battleship to be of larger pro-
portions than any now in our navy 5
and
Whereas, The State Of Delaware has
not yet been honored by having her
name placed upon a ship in our navy
and
Whereas, Delaware from her stand
ing in the history Of this nation, is de-
serving of the honor of having the
largest ship in the navy bear her
name; therefore be it
Resolved, BY the Brownson Library
Association that we indorse mosl
heartily the movement TO have the
new battleship named in honor Of oul
State Of Delaware, which State was
the first to sign the Constitution and
whose people have fought both on lane
and on sea to assist in the preservation
Of this government which Delaware 's
men had been so prominently active II
establishing; and be it further
Resolved, That we forward copies o
these resolutions to the President o.
the United States, Secretary Of the
Navy, and to our Senator and Repre-
sentative in Washington and respect
fully urge that Delaware be given hei
proper place among the battleships O
this nation.

Wilmington. Del, April II, 19O0-Mr.
Samuel IS. HOh, General Manager VIII
mington City Railway Co.-Dear Sir: |
am In receipt of your letter of the 10th
instant, In which you absolutely and
emphatically" deny a statement at-
tributed TO you by one OF tho evening
papers Of this city, TO tho effect that your
company did not intend TO better It's
service here In response 10 the public de-
mand therefor, which statement was tho
text for the comments in Tho Star of last
Sunday of which you complain in tho
letter before me- ! see that you have
also had this letter printed in Every Even-
ing, believing, as you say, that ! would
not desire YOU TO "lahor under this in-
justice for another week" ] am glad You
have taken this course, in order that fe-
sponsibility for the error committed may
be definitely placed without further delay
] should certainly be sorry 20 see you labor
under any injustice, even Tor moment,
especially In circumstances where 1 might
| be contributory TO such injustice.
When the statement attributed to you
! appeared in the paper referred TO, it
seemed so defiant OF the popular feeling
and so inconsistent with your duty TO
the public and 10 the company you repre-
sent, that ] looked for some deniali Il did
not appear; nearly u week passed and you
were still silent Then l naturally con-
cluded that you had been correctly re-
ported. for It did not occur to me that
any respectable newspaper would be
, guilty of deliberate misrepresentation
! Of course no one has the right TO demand
, or expect that you shall 60 round denying
newspaper reports, and l can appreciate
your reluctance 10 engage in public dis
! cussion of a personal nature, but It seems
/ TO me that It would have been wise, in
the present state OF public feeling on this
subject, II you had promptly exposed the
! INSTRUMENTATION of which you declare
YOU we're the victim. No man, high or
| low. can afford TO ignore public senti-
ment, even though be thinks he is in the
right. and / am glad to know that you
now. though somewhat tardily, totally
repudiate expressions so foreign TO your
intentions and so inimical to your interests
l can but regret that you did not do this
earlier.
/ shall take pleasure in giving your de-
nial as much prominence in the next issue
Of The Star as was given the criticism of
which you complain in its last issue. You
are al liberty to use this letter in the daily
press. If il shall seem desirable TO you To
do so. Renewing my expressions of per-
sonal respect and good will, l am
Very truly yours,
