 Salary Is Asked.

Salary Is Asked.
 Hartford, May 7.-The judiciary com- mfttee this afternoon listened to re- marks of several high sheriffs of the state in regard to the bill abolishing the fee system in their offices. The committee, it is understood, is in favor of placing these offices on salary basis. All the speakers expressed a hope that should the committee favor a salary for the sheriffs that the figures would be substantial enough to attract good men to the office. Sheriff Hawley of Fairfield county said his fees amounted to $6,00O year and he de- scribed what his duties were, the heavy expenses he was under, the risks he took and the manner in which the money came to him. He said that many times when Investigations of crime had to be made by the county the sheriff had to advance the money to conduct them. Sheriff Sibley of Windham county said he was opposed to cutting off fees in the service of criminal processes. He said that in the larger places in the service was mostly done by local officers, but if the fees were cut off this would fall upon the sheriffs as there would be no desire on the part of local officers to do this without expectation of compensation. He created some amusement by stating in illuecrationg the work of the sher- if that he would have big task on hand in case of a riot and the com pensation or salary basis would not

LOAN OBTAINED HERE.

ONE of our local financial institutions has
~ given an illustration OF the deal at home
idea, which is making headway throughout the
city. 1t is pleasing to note that the Water
Board loan to secure money for civic improve
mcnt has been taken by the Equitable Guarantee
and Trust Company, one Of the citys leading
financial concerns. This shows that we have fa-
cilities here for handling large as well as small
loans, and the fact that the Equitable was the
successful bidder for the bonds demonstrates that
Wilmington is amply able to take care of itself
The local company was brought in direct COM
petition with bidders from other cities, and it
won, just as other Wilmington business houses
will lead in competition with other cities that are
striving after the trade OF Wilmington
The new filter system will be received with all
the more satisfaction, because the money
needed for its erection has been Sc
cured in Wilmington 1t will be a Wilmington
enterprise. The success of the Equitable in
handling the loan should also be a good adver-
tisement for the city, as it shows that business
enterprises contemplating locating in Whining
ton will find here ample banking facilities. Will
mington's financial institutions are all upon a
sound basis, and they are doing their part for the
growth and prosperity Of Wilmington, as was
evidenced in this latest instance Of trade at
