Of the maximum rate law Martin said
today:
"The Hillery act requires the con-

in counties and municipalities, and so
when enlarged expenses are necessary
the assessment of the property Of indi-

of further expenditure. This tends to
the reduction of the average State rate

ELTWEEO POMEROy
SAYS INK SECRETS
WERE LIFE'S WORK

A long-standing family quarrel ne
tween Charles Taylor Pomeroy and
Eltweed Pomeroy. brothers, found an
echo in Chancery Court today in an
injunction suit brought by the Pomeroy
Ink Company, of which Charles Taylor
Pomeroy Is a stockholder, against Eli
weed Pomeroy, former head of the in
solvent Pomeroy Manufacturing Com
pany.
Eltweed Pomeroy had accumulated,
through years Of research, certain for
Inulas for the manufacture of inks,
muciIage and paste, which he used in
his business. When his concern was
adjudged bankrupt, and sold under the
hammer, the assets were claimed to in
clude the formulas which he had ac-
cumulated. F,ltweed Pomeroy claimed
that the formulas were his individual
property, and is alleged to have sold
: certain ones until an injunction was Sc
cured against him by the Pomeroy Ink
Company.
The matter came up before Vice
Chancellor Emery today on the return
OF a rule to show cause why the in
! junction should not be made perma-
nent. Scott German, who is associated
with Albert Mersfelder as counsel fol
Eltweed Pomeroy, maintained that the
formula were not rad secrets, and
thus did not come under the head Of
assets. Anyone with sufficient time ant
patience, he said. could compile similar
formulas. Frank Benjamin, counsel foi
the complainant, argued that the for
m ulas consisted of notes taken from ex
periments made in the laboratory Of thi
i~nsoIvent company, and as such were
the concerns property.
An offer to return the formulas upof
certain conditions was refused.
