FARMERS FIGHT
THE POLE LINE
New Castle and Red Lion
Hundred Residents Think
Enough Poles are Up

William II. Cooper Jr, appeared be-
fore the Levy Court today In reference
TO the request of the American Power
Company for the privilege of erecting
poles and string wires along the pub
lie road between New Castle and Della
ware City. The company has the con-
tract to light Delaware City and Fort
DUPONT.
The farmers along the Hamburg
road object to an increased number
of poles as well as the heavy charged
wires. Following the recent trial In
cut to release the contact with the
wires the farmers do not wish to as
sumo other such risks.
In addressing the court Mr.. Cooper
said he had sought the opinion Of pro-
perty owners along the road on the
subject among them being Former
Governor Lea who did not wish to give
his permission at this time HARLAN
q. Scott. II. b. Rogers and Charles
Enos objected TO any more poles be-
ing planted on the road.
Mr.. Cooper said he did not believe
New Castle county should grant the
company the franchise.
4. Bayard Heisel, representing the
company, said its officials had not
come asking anything unusual
There are other electric lines along
the road just as dangerous as the pro-
posed line, he said. He presented a
lengthy petition from the property
owners OF Delaware City asking that
the line be built.
Mr.. Dennison asked Mr.. Heisel that
II the franchise were granted would
the company light the road He be-
lleved there should be light at every
other pole.
Mr.. Heisel replied that if telegraph
telephone and other companies, which
use the road, do not give free service
tho company he represents ought not
TO be expected TO do So
Mr.. Dennison remarked that too
many franchises are given away by
the court. The question was laid over
for q week
The electric light company intends to
get its power from the Delaware Wa
ter Improvement Company at New
Castle.

MORE REVENUE
FOR THE COUNTY
New Law COmpeIS Churches
to Pay Tax on Properties
Held as investments

Churches, charitable organizations,
etc, that hold property for investment
will be assessed hereafter and must
pay county taxes on the buildings.
William G.. Jones attorney for the
Levy Court, drew the attention Of the
Levy Court to-day to an act bearing
on the subject which was passed at
the last session of the Legislature.
The act follows;
"Section 1. That Section 1 OF Chapter
II Of the Revised Code OF the State Of
Delaware, as published in 1898, be and
the same is hereby amended by strik-
ing out the words cor any county,
church. religious society, college OF
school, or to any corporation for
charitable uses" where they occur in
the second or third lines of said Sec
ton, and inserting in lieu thereof the
following or to any county of this
State, or to any church or religious
society and not held by way of in
vestment, or to any college or school
and used for educational or school pur-
poses or to any corporation created
for charitable purposes and not held
by way OF investment
Mr.. Jones said the act was primarily
intended to cover the case of the Trus.
tees of the Commons. which owns 110l
acres of land outside New Castle.
At the January term of the Supreme
Court the question whether the farms
are held in trust for charitable pur
poses will be argued
There are many properties in the
county exempt from taxation at the
present time that will be taxed undet
the new law. These properties are helC
as investments and must pay taxes
The assessors will be notified to assess
such property.

TREES SICK;
NEED ATTENTION
Forester Doctor Tells 0ffiCi-
ais Trees are Sensitive and
Should be Cared for

Bernard Rifkin, consulting represent
alive of John T. Withers, landscape
architect of Jersey City, who has been
identifying the grounds Of suburban
ties here, appeared before the Street
and Sewer Directors this morning and
told them how very decrepid some of
the trees in Wilmington are.
Messrs. RiflSin and Withers are tree
physicians, and talk of bleeding trees
and diagnosing their ills with a
nonchalance that would puzzle a regu-
lar M. ID.
Mr.. RiflOin says trees have sensations
like human beings and considers il
criminal to let them get sick. He told
the directors that many of the trees
here are in dangerous condition and
need attention this winter. Mr.. With.
ers wants to be advisory city forester
of Wilmington. He is i'll at present
and cannot be in the city. Mr.. Rifkin
offered, as a demonstration, TO treat
two or three diseased trees at a cost
of about $3.50 each, the work occupying
a day and a half. The directors will
consider the offer.
Mr. RiflSin will address the Board of
Trade tonight on the tree subject.
