strued as larceny under the Delaware
statute by a General Sessions Court Jury
this morning, and James Dreddon, color
ed, indicted for larceny growing out Of

Imprisonment. He escaped corporal pun

tion and the unusual character OF the

that Louis Enrich, while returning from

REGISTRARS TO
POST NOTICES

At the meeting Of the Department oi
Elections last night it was decided that
the registrars must post the notices OF
where the registration will be held, as
is required by law.
Some of the registrars were puzzled
over where to post their placards since
the Street and Sewer Directors have
passed an ordinance prohibiting the
placarding Of telegraph and telephone
poles and trees. These registrars ap-
pealed to the Department of Elections
last night and the department decided
that il expected the posters to be put
up as in past years. II has been Gus
tomary for registrars to tack their
posters on poles and fences. The post
ers must be hung up ten days before
the first day Of registration, which will
be October 2.
The department is now preparing the
books and other necessities for the
registration. and they soon will be
ready for delivery.

BANKS BID FOR
CITY DEPOSITS
Treasurer Ross Learns That
Charleston Deposits Where
Greatest Interest is Paid
MAY ADOPT SYSTEM HERE

City Treasurer Howard ID. Ross and
his assistant. Elwood L. Grifenberg,
have returned from the Convention OF
the League of American Municipan-
ties at the Jamestown Exposition.
where they made interesting observa-
tions Of the systems in vogue In the
financial departments OF many leading
cities of the country. Treasurer Ross
and Mr.. Gutenberg attended every
session Of the convention, and took
notes Of all addresses that in any way
pertained to the finances Of cities.
What impressed them as much as
anything else was the information
they obtained that Charleston. s. c.,
places it's city funds in the bank that
contracts to pay the highest amount
of interest This system has been In
effect in Charleston for from twenty
to twenty-five years and is highly sue
cessful. as It Yields the city a big in
terest return Where the city practically
got no money before.
Just before the beginning OF each
fiscal year the Council OF Charleston
asks for bids from. the Charleston
banks for the privilege Of being desig-
mated as the city depository. The con-
dition imposed by the city is that she
bank that Will Fay the greatest rate
Of interest win be selected as the de-
pository. AS a result of this system
Charleston now deposits its city funds
In a bank that pays the city 4 3-S Der
cent interest on all deposits. The next
highest bid was from a bank that Of
fered to pay A is per cent interest
In Charleston the annual revenue
from this source amounts to $1,000 70
IS .000 but in Wilmington It should
under such plan considerably exceed
this amount.
Broke A Combine"
At one time. Treasurer Ross learned,
the banks Of Charleston tried to form
a combine to cut down the rate OF
interest, but one bank refused to enter
into Il and broke the combination.
Chicago aslo has a system somewhat
similar to that Of Charleston. Treas
, urer Ross and Assistant Grinenbern
learned. In that city the funds are
placed in banks that contract to pay
the highest rate of interest, but there
4 is a provision that no bank can receive
a municipal deposit in excess OF th'
amount Of the banks surplus. This
naturally results in tho city money
Being placed in several banks, but they
are institutions that bid the highest
rate Of interest.
In Wilmington two per cent inter-
est Is paid By the active and depository
! banks on municipal deposits. The
Union Bank Is the active bank. and
! formerly interest was raid only on de-
posits uD to s50.000. but now il
is paid on all city deposits.
/ AS several City Councilmen also
learned Of the System in effect lr
i Charleston and Chicago. il Is expected
that within a week or two Council viii
] take some action toward getting a
higher rate of interest on the muni.
cipa funds even II the Charleston
= system has to be introduced in VIII.
