ESTIMATING ON
STATE REVENUE
Commission Figures That Its
Recommendations Would
Produce $5O,OOO More

Much interest has been taken in the
report to the Legislature of the Com
mission on Revenue and Taxation
which was read On Tuesday last. The
commissioners estimate that if their
recommendations are carried out the
State will get mt least $4,000 more
revenue. aside from that to be obtained
by plotting and leasing the States
oyster beds.
Much of this estimated revenue
would be from liquor license fees. This
committee recommends that the license
be increased to 5000 a year. of which
$500 shall go TO the city in which the
saloon obtaining a license is located
and $50 10 the county, the remaining
$3.50 going to the state. The license
at present is $500. with an additional
license of S25 which permits the selling
Of liquors TO be drunk Off the saloon
promises. If the recommendation OF
the commission should be enacted II
would mean at least $4,000 more state
devenue. estimating the number OF
licenses in this county at 800. There
are more than 800 saloons now
The increase in taxes Of the D.. NJ
and V. Railroad the NJ. ID. and v
Railroad and the Wilmington Northern
Railroad would yield about $4,000 more
and the commi ssioners estimate that
the additional revenue to be derived
from a collateral inheritance tax, from
a mercantile tax, a tax on telephone
transmitters. express companies an0
Wholesale liquor dealers would swell
the revenue to $4,000.

B. 80. PLANS
IMPROVEMENTS
New Bridge and FOuT-tTaCk
System Part of the
Project

That the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company contcmplates a four
track system through Wilmington. as
announced in THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL. is confirmed by the report that
it's engineers have already begun a
survey at Boothwvn, Pa, with the inn
provement I'm view. Boothwyn is nine
miles north of this city.
The first indication that the COM
pany contemplated the addition OF two
tracks to its present two track line
through this section was the fact that
its engineers I'm drawing plans fof
a bridge over its tracks at Seventh
street. provided space between the
sustaining piers for four tracks. al
though but two tracks run under the
present wooden bridge over Seventh
street. These plans were submitted
to the Street and Sewer Directors. but
have not been approved by City Engi-
neer TAYLOR. owing to the fact that
the tensile strength Of the proposed
bridge Is not calculated for the lay
ing OF concrete across Il. Mr.. Taylor
will confer with the railroads engl'
neers as to a change In the plans.
A four-track system through VIII
mington would make a vast improve
ment in the service Of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. Taken with other
improvements contemplated, notably
the construction Of a stone bridge oven
the Brandywine 20 replace the present
steel one. is evident that the Baltimore

dustrial depression and finds Whining
ton worthy centre for its activities.

RATS BATTLED
IN PIPE PRISON
GnaWed Each Other to Death
and ChOked Up a
Sewer
HAD TO DIG STREET
UP TO MAKE REPAIRS

Eight gigantic sewer rats imprisoned
in a six inch drain leading from No. GA
East Sixth street into the Spruce street
sewer subsisted for nearly two months
on cobs of corn which blocked their way
into the sewer, and then, terrified by
heavy drainage caused by the rain OF
Tuesday, killed each other
This was the tragedy among denizens Of
The citys big sewer mains disclosed when
plumbers went to work on the drain on
Wednesday morning. The largest rat was
eighteen inches long and would have been
a formidable antagonist for a bull dog.
Two months ago when employees Of the
Traynor Sanitary Company, Of No. 2lS
East Sixth street. started work on the
house drainage a pipe leading from the
Spruce street sewer into the cellar was
used. while still unconnected by a colony
of rats from the sewer as a means of in
gress. A large stock Of corn made the cell
lar a most attractive resort for the rats,
and Mrs. Anna Porter, who lives in the
house, was soon made aware of their in
roads by numerous hilarious nights i'm rat
land. Finally, one day catching a dozen
rats scampering into the pipe, she put
some bricks against il and felt safe.
Several of the animals had borne away
large cobs Of corn, and. as was disclosed
Wednesday, these cobs were caught side
ways in the drain. forming a barrier to
further advance toward the sewer. Thus
the rats were imprisoned in the space in
the pipe between the bricks piled against
the end of the pipe in the cellar and the
cobs of corn. When the pipe was connect
ed with the rest of the house drainage.
the corn and the rats blocked the solid
refuse. while the water went past them.
When the heavy rain Of Tuesday caused
additional drainage, the imprisoned ami
mails evidently became frenzed. and. as
their bodies showed. literally tore each
other TO pieces in their despair. Their
bodies then block the drainage entire
iy. and the plumbers were sent for.
1t was necessary to dig through the
street and to open the pipe IN order to
discover the cause OF the back flow. THIS
disclosed the corn cobs and the mangIed
bodies Of the rats.
Now Mr.. Traynor, the plumber. is won
dering whether the city is responsible for
the rats and should pay damages. or
whether its up to himself to bear the OK
pense OF clearing the drain.
