FEARING SUIT,
BANK PAYS TAX
Lone institution Sends 10
State Treasurer Check
For $Ol.4l

DOVER, July 6.-It was not exactly
conscience" money that came to the
state Treasury OF Delaware yesterday
lit was money from corporation with
either conscience or a fear that il
night be a defendant IN "a big suit
brought by the state.
The State Treasurer Of Delaware re-
ccivoi o. check for S9i.H as "A payment
due semiannually, early In January and
early in July Of each year, which is
regarded as an important development
IN a controversy in which the State
finds itself engaged with the banks OF
Delaware.
The banks owe the state more than
$4,000 ia State taxes. which they arc
nearly al refusing TO pay IN 1900
during the term Of State Treasurer
Ban the banks were paying S03i3 each
year but the increase in bank values
would now make that payment more
than $4,000 a year had they continued
to comply with the law.
AZ the beginning of the term Of state
Treasurer Burris. however the banks
cl2imed that the trust companies were
being exempted and on "a contention OF
partialty they began Withholding theii
payments. BY next January the
amount due the State will have reached
$4,000, and there is so much complaint
in official circles against the banks that
e rs whispered about the State House
that state Treasurer Rawlins is pre-
pairing to bring them into both State
ana Federal courts in proceeding tC
compel the payment Of this State rev.
enue.
New light was thrown upon the situ-
alton. therefore, when one Of the banks
sent Ia its little check for its semi
annual tax, amounting to S9LH, foi
which the State Treasurer promptly
receipted. The check undoubtedly saved
this bank the trouble OF defending a
suit brought by the people OF Della

PLANNING FOR
WIDER STREET
Street and Sewer Board ARx.
iOuS TO Make Front Street
Vide ThOTOuehfare

The question now engrossing the at
tent.on of the street and Sewer COM
mission is the manner OF widening
Front street. east OF Market street.
/ John G.. Gray gave notice Tuesday
last that at the next meeting Of the
Board a resolution would be introduced
providing for the widening Of Front
street from Market street to Lombard
street.
The problem which confronts the
/ Board is whether the change in the
line shall effect the north side or the
south side of the street
! Should the south side be chosen,
! condemnation proceedings must be re-
sorted 60 and the change could not be
made further east than French street
as the Pennsylvania Railroad Is build
/ ing the new station north wall on the
present building line on the south side
OF Front street east from French street.
such condemnation would include also
the wall of the elevated which has
already been built from French street
To king street Such proceeding
would not accomplish the entire pur-
pose OF the board who desire IL pos
: sihle to make Front street go foot
thoroughfare throughout its entire
length. It Is now sixty feet wide east
of Market street. such proceeding
would also be an expensive one.
on the north side Of Front street
the majority OF the buildings are small
houses, many Of them of frame con-
struction, whose condemnation would
not be follwed by heavy bin for dam
ages. This plan. however. would cause
a jos in the street at Market street.
and an teams coming eastward would
De compelled to cross the double tracks
TO the driveway on the north side Of
the street east of Market. The street
for the entire distance from Market 10
Lombard could be widened on the
north side of the street
n Two plans can be pursued on the
north side Either he Board may con-
demn a strip Of l1nd the required width
along the north side and pay property
damages therefore or by fixing the
building line that far northward. which
viii prevent new buildings bling erect
ed on anything but the new line. thus
establishing the new width OF the street

WILL KILL THE
ORDINANCE:

Robert G.. Harman. former city solicitor,
has now had the new building ordinance
under consideration for almost two weeks
but was unable to have given ii sufficient
consideration TO submit report 70 the
Democratic members of Council last
night.
The ordinance has now been under CON.
sideration by some one or other OF IFS ad-
vocates for more than seven months and
is not yet IN such shape as SUITS either
its friends or its opponents
Recently the building inspector enlisted
the aid of f. w. Fitzpatrick. secretary,
treasurer ana consulting engineer of the
international Society OF State and NUM-
cipal Building Commissioners.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick wrote Mayor Wilson to
the effect that he use his influence to se-
cure the passage of the ordinance IRE
pared by Building Inspector Connolly,
inasmuch as IL was patterned after the
Cleveland Ohio, code which Mr. Fitz
patrick declares is nearer perfection than
amy other set Of regulations now In force
in this country.
In view OF this statement of Mr. Ftz.
patrick the City solicitor of Cleve,ard
has heen written t. In reference to the
code IN force there
His reply is interesting and instructive
in view of the pre-. ent dsscussi n ever the
ordinance.
Newton ID. Baker city solicitor cf c eve
land, Ohio, does not In substlnca paint
The Cleveland code as the mosel for cit es
OF the United Stltes. He demons tr ties
that it is merely an experiment defective
IN many respects and purely original and
that it was meant to suit Cleveland cen
ditions.
He says IN parts "The building do OF
Cleveland has been in operation but two
years and as It was an original work il
is sun In process Of amen n3ment as errors
are discovered
1T Is. Of course. especal adapted 10
the local conditions fer which It was
made. For local conditions the code in the
main is satisfactory. Some of its rrov'-
sions have BEEN litiga.ed and have stord
the test, others. however have been held
by the courts ms unreasonable.
This letter Of the Clevelard CITY Solicit
or has put the model ordinance 81 near
perfection. IN different l'gh, ana IL is
believed that City Council will next week
kin the ordinance and refer the matter of
drafting new one to City solicitor
Townscad.

The Alice men propose, from the first
not to sit still and submit to Addicks'
programme but to adopt aggressive
tactics from the moment the committee

accept state Chairman Balls overtures,
to authorize State Chairman Alice to

convention Of 100 delegates, sitting just

whom Addicks has been grooming for

that some of his guests conceded that he
was in favor of harmony among the

swered with emphatic force: Il am in
favor Of harmony -unquallhedly-an that
is all I have to say on the matter"
rs it true" he was asked. that To-
morrow you fully expect to be elected
chairman of the Union Republican raity
State Committee and that you have suf-
hc'ent strength to oust Senator Alice from
that positiong'
Tomorrow will tell the story. Come
down TO Dover where the committee will
meet. and no doubt you will get COM
plete answer TO that question"
Several OF Mr.. Addicks frierds were
