The city linemen are figuring on the
cost Of placing the police and hre-
alarm telegraph wires under ground,
as it is the intention TO remove the
wires from the poles and place them
in condulti when the city feels that 1t
can stand the expense.
Each company having conduits in
the streets has reserved a compartment
for the city wires, but up TO the pres
ent time the city has not ayailed itself
of the opportunity to get rid of its
overhead wires, the chief obstacle
being the matter of expense.
In reply to inquiry from o reporter
of Every Evening, one of the city line
men said he WAS of the opinion that 1t
would cost about 40 cents foot for
the cal L. that would be required to
carry the city wires, but he was not
prepared TO say what the total cost
would be. The city has many miles OF
wire connected with its fire and police
service, much of which could go in
conduits il the city was in position
to buy the cable.
The Delaware 81 Atlantic Telegraph
and Telephone Co. has made an offer
to assist the city in the matter until
it is able to take care of itself, the
company proposing TO furnish the city
enough wires in the conduits TO pro
vide for the city system, but whether
this will be taken advantage of is not
known, as it is understood to be pref
erable for the city to provide its own
cable.
There is no question but what it
would be much more satisfactory to
have the city wires, as we'll as others,
under ground, for several reasons. In
the first place overhead wires are
always source of concern, as they
sometimes come in contact with other
wires which give trouble, and in stormy
weather serious damage sometimes re-
suits, imparing the system at time
when it should be in perfect condition.
Fortunately for the city it has always
had men who We're able to keep the
system in good shape and trouble did
not last very long at any time.
Conduits are laid in nearly all of the
streets in the business section of the
city and also to a large extent in the
residence section, which would make
it possible to put all of the down towr
wires under ground and also most ol
those outside Of the business section.
Where overhead wires would be re-
| quired the danger would be reduced tC
a minimum, as there would not be s.
many other wires and artificial agen.
cies TO contend with.

Dover, June 11.-Murder by lawless
negroes was committed on Saturday even
ing, AZ Frederica, II miles from here.
Negroes from FELTON,. Bowers Beach and

Of the shooting was obtained: About Z
O'Clock in the evening near Dill's Hotel
an alteration took place between William
Cooper and another white man, whose
name could not be ascertained Cooper
was getting the worst Of the fight, when
be appealed to William Barrett. a colorod
man who had known him from boyhood
BaTatt went 10 Coopers assistance,
which act seemed TO be the signal for a
general miXup. resulting in the shooting
OF Luther Howell and kemerer Shots
were fired directly at the two white men
by Juniper Benson, a disreputable negro
living near FELTON,. Benson's shooting
brought forth two more volleys, after
which theE negroes. six or seven in
number. who had driven over to Frederica.
jumped into their teams and drove rapidly
away toward FELTON,.
So quickly was the shooting done and
80 excited we're the people that little
attention was paid to others than the
wounded mem Later a telephone mes
sage was sent 10 FELTON,, to head of OF
capture the negroes who had done the
shooting, As a result Robert Thompson
Brinkley Causey and Harrison rilghmau
were arrested as they entered Fetor
and locked up at FELTON, Benson
was also taken, but WAS released

An Ola Case Against the Borough aud
Council of Wilmington.


An Old Case Against the Borough aud
Council Of Wilmington.
An attorney, in going through the
archives of the Court of Chancery, has
found an interesting record, dated
1921, when Wilmington was a borough.
1t was the case of Isaac H. Starr, in
which the complainant filed a bill in
Chancery against the burgess and
borough Of Wilmington. 1t was shown
that the city had entered into a con-
tract with the Spring Water Co for
furnishing water to the borough The
company had constructed a reservoir
between Third and thigh streets, which
now is Fourth street. 1t was located
at about West street. In building
this reservoir it was alleged that GER
tain springs of water on the Starr
land which had been accustomed to
flow above the surface, we're diverted
from Starr Chancellor Ridgeley sent
the case to the Court Of Common Pleas,
which was the same as the present
Superior Court. A special jury vas
struck to try the case. The jury
drawn was as follows
George Clark, Philip Reybold.
James Price, Christopher Vandegrift,
Samuel Pennington, George Houston,
John Bird, Sewel Green, Jesse Boul-
den, John Sutton and Nathan Boul-
den. The jury found that the allega-
tions of the complainant were correct
and awarded him damages to the
amount of s600
The Chancellor granted a perpetual
Injunction against the borough and
commanded it 90 shut up the water
works until the money had been paid
to Mr.. Starr. The record shows that
upon the signing OF a release the
money was paid to Starr.
Prior TO the settlement of the case
it was carried to the Court of Appeals,
which affirmed the findings IN the
Court of Common Pleas. It was in
August, 1928, when the matter was
concluded.

spection of Galveston's government up to
that time shows it to have been in keeping
with the governments of other American
cities.
There were periods when the council con
tanned some of the very best citizens of the
community, who accepted Office at personal
sacrifice; and there followed periods when
incompetency and corruption held full sway.
In June, 1903, DIR. A. V. Fly was eiected
mayor Having become firmly convinced
that the city had been systematically robbed
and grossly mismanaged, he asked the coun-
Gil for appropriation to pay for an over
hauling of the city's book His request be-

ployed an expert accountant of high stand

government directly affects the health, life
and property of every man, woman and child
living within its limits.
From many of the cities throughout the
United States have frequently arisen reports
of corruption and scandal, wastefulncss
of public money and utter disregard of the
public's interest and general welfare. How
to manage the cities of America is ma
tional problem, and the story of how one
city proved itself equal to the emergency is
of national interest.

to-day, is one of the romances of American
city building.
The success of Galveston has proved so
marked that already her form of government
has been copied by her neighboring city,
Houston; Dallas will probably do the same
thing with the beginning of the next year,
and San Antonio and Fort Worth are con-
sidering the matter. Delegates from Wis
consin and Iowa cities have also visited Gal
weston for the purpose of investigating, the
commission form of government with a
view to having it established in their home
towns.
Naturally, the question of good city gov
eminent is more than local issue. 1t is one
of the most important single problems con-
fronting the American people. Through its
health department, its police, fire, sewerage
