COURT TO SETTLE
SALARY MIDDLE
City Solicitor Tells Water
Board He'll Send the
Subject up
WRITES LETTER
EXPLAINING REASONS

A letter from city solicitor Townsend
read at the meeting Of the Board OF Water
Commissioners this morning suggesting
that the Water Department payroll con-
trovcrsy be taken to court prompted the
adoption OF motion by Commissioner
Ford requesting the city solicitor TO take
such steps as are necessary to bring about
a decision from the court of last resort
at the earliest possible moment Commits
sloner Knox did not vote. The motion was
carried after prolonged discussion as to
the advisablity OF engaging an attorney
70 represent the Water Board In the pre-
sentation OF the case. Commissioner Ford
had little doubt that city Solicitor Town
send would be inclined to favor the city
auditor IN his controversy with tho Water
Commissioners, and Chief Engineer kienle
also knocked the city solicitor when he
suggested that the commissioners engage
ian attorney. The idea OF se,ting an attor-
ns., however. was relnduished,
Mr.. Townscnd's letter was In part a.
follows:
"The real question Of this case Is
whether Mr. Fercbce can be paid for his
services as inspector on construction OF
the filtration plant out Of the funds ap.
propriated by ordinance OF the Council
This appropriation was made upon the
basis OF "a budget prepared by your depart
ment which budget contained no items OF
cost Of construction Of tho filtration plant
should Il be unlawful TO pay him from
this fund the further question arises
whether he can recover at all II en-
ployed for special work when there were
no funds lawfully applicable 10 the pay
ment OF such services. Another and ar
important question Is this. The city al
great expense has adopted system OF ac'
counting. one OF tile particular objects ol
which is 10 keep items OF operation an'
items OF construction distinct and sepa
rate,
/ II your board can be allowed to charge
Mr.. Ferebee's salary for similar duties
one month TO funds appropriated on the
basis of a budget for the operations and
another month TO funds raised for con
struction, then the city has no power t'
adopt a system Of accounting, and th'
city OF Wilmington is 10 be considered az
subservlend to the Water Department
and the Water Department is an inde
dendent body. rather than a branch o.
city government. Further than this. ever
II / should give an opinion that Mr.
Ferebee's claim for salary could be pai'
for the current funds. this does not meal
that the city auditor would be required
to approve the pay rol or that the mem
bers OF the board would be required &
pass IT after his refusal Under thi
condition Of affairs. / believe IL to b
to the interest OF the citizens and that o
the various departments that this mat
ter be determined by a court Of last re
sort. and shall. therefore, endeavor {
have the facts brought before the Cour
lin Banc for its determination. A decisio
OF this question would in effect be

STRIKERS BACK
AT THEIR KEYS
Paris Telegraph Operators
Compromise and Return
to Work
WILL MAKE FURTHER
DEMANDS ON CLtMEN NCEAU

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PARIS, March 22.-Three-fourths OF
Paris army Of telegraph and telephone
strikers are back on their jobs to-day and
others are returning so rapidly that by
tomorrow, it is expected the last Of them
will again be at work
The end OF the strike came as a result
of a compromise, in which the strikers
won the points at issue but lost out on the
question that was directly the cause Of the
strike, the promulgation Of rule by M.
Simyan, under secretary Of posts and tele-
graphs, by which promotions are no longer
based on seniority or length Of service.
Representatives from foreign powers had
much to do with ending the striker. The
official business of many European powers
was crippled by the strike, and they APP
pealed to Premier Clemenceau TO settle the
trouble as speedily as possible. England
complained more bitterly than any other
power, owing to the fact that King Ed.
ward, who is resting at Biarritz, was al
most lost to England during the week
Of the strike. During the critical debate
over the navy budget, the English cabinet
could not get into communication with the
king.
NJ. Barthou. minister OF public works
and Premier Clemenceau yesterday prom
ised the strikers that none of them woul'
be disnSSsed IL they returned to work anC
that hereafter they could lay their griev
ances directly before the minister Of pub
lie works These were two points fo
which the strikers had held out.
The demand for. the expulsion OF NJ

generally believed he will be forced out o
office just as soon as this can be dom
without the appearance of yielding TO IN
