meeting OF City Council, last evening, a
lively time occurred over the assessment. |
Mr.. Jemison reported that he had had a
conference with City Solicitor Cooper
and the latter decided that the placing
OF the property of the New Castle Trust

and the property must be stricken of.
Mr.. Jemison offered a resolution to the
effect that the property be assessed at
500 in the name of the New Castle Trust
Co., John H. Taylor, president, and that
Mr., Taylor be notified to appear on We'd
nesday night next TO show cause why
the assessment should not be made. The
same action was taken with respect 10
the property of Miss Lizzie Dalby, l2l
Delaware street, assessed at $500.
Tho assessed property of the Delaware
Water Improvement Co.. was taken up
and Assessor Doris would not consent
TO placing it upon the list, because he be-
lievcd that it was new industry and
was exempt for 10 years
Mr. Jemison, who had asked the as
SCISSOR to place the property on the list,
said IL did not come under the law Tor
manufacturing establishments, and he
was backed by Mr. Reynolds, who said:
"lhe Wilmington New Castle q South
ern Railway Co was n manufacturing
plant, yet the roadbed was assessed.
Mr. Jemison contended that Walls &
Elkinton we're manufacturers of ice
cream and as much entitled to exemption
from taxation as the improvement COM
pany
Mr.. Gallagher saidg "We had mo
right to exempt anyone IL not the Delal
ware Water Improvement Go
Mr. Reynolds said III you do not as
sess the power plant why do you not
assess the pipe line through the city as
you do the roadbed OF the trolley line ?'

as beneficial as anything in the city.
/ Through the works we have the water
rents lowered to S. where they were s.
/ before
Assessor Doris claimed that the rail
road was exempted by a special act Of
| Council
The matter was dropped and the
property left off the list.
