LIGHTING PLANT
Council Finds it Need Not Ask
Legislature to Authorize
Project

The municipal lighting plant pro-
ject received another boost in City
Council last night. Councilman Con-
way, Of the Tenth ward, who origin
ated the movement, moved that City
Solicitor Brady be instructed to give
notice of a municipal lighting plant
bill in the Legislature before the time
expired for new business to be intro
duced in that body.
Mr.. DuRoss, of the Sixth ward, was
opposed to taking this action at this
time, particularly because the com
mittee appointed to get data and other
information on the subject had not
yet made a report and he thought il
would be we'll 10 wait until II did
President of Council Banning in
formed the members that the commit
tee had not been idle and that il had
gained some information on the mat
ter which was of value and that a
report could be expected shortly. Mr..
Kane. of the Fourth ward. augment
ed these remarks with the statement
that the committee was getting data
from every point possible.
Mr.. McGovern, of the Eleventh
ward. said the city already had
authority under the home rule act,
passed by the Legislature, to engage
in the municipal lighting business
and that It was not necessary to &c
to the Legislature.
Mr. DuRoss added that the city
solicitor could not give notice Of a bill
anyway as it required a member OF
/ the Legislature 10 do that
Mr. Conway said he didn't care who
did it. and Mr.. Kane ended the dis
cussion by remarking that it was moi
necessary to give such notice or &c
before the Legislature.
Mr.. Conway withdrew his motion.

legislators Seek to Clarity
Laws in Wilmington With
out Partisan Advantage
WANT DEPARTMENT
TO NAME THE CLERKS

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Feb 3.--Several bills
We're given motive OF by Representa-
tives Gillis. White and Alexander in
the House yesterday afternoon TO
clarity the city election laws In Will
mington and to meet certain condi-
tions pointed out recently by Robert
G.. Harman, who contends that because
Of those conditions there has not been
a legal city election I'm Wilmington for
some time. The bills have the ap-
proyal of the Department OF Elections
and 1t is said there is no partisan ad-
vantage sought in them.
One bill is TO require the Clerk of
the Peace to turn over 10 the Depart
ment Of Elections the books of regis
tered voters for Wilmington. Now
there is no law requiring this, so the
Department has had 10 copy the books
at a cost OF $1,000 or thereabOuts,
every two years.
Another bill is to require the cleo
tion officers after a general election
to turn their books in TO the Depart
ment Of Elections, instead of 20 the
Clerk of the Peace, so that the original
books can be used for the ensuing city
election, without the necessity Of copy
ing them.
Another bill proposes that the hours
for city elections in Wilmington shall
be made the same as at general cleo
tions. At present the city election polls
close an hour earlier than at the other
elections.
Another bill is TO give the Depart
ment Of Elections authority TO ap.
point the clerks at elections, from lists
submitted by the Republican and Dem.
ocratic committees. The clerk to each
! Judge shall be OF the political faith OF
that judge. The Department OF Elec.
tions has had trouble in getting clerks
/ appointed by the judges of election Z,
serve, and under the proposed bill q
clerk who would refuse to serve would
be liable to fine, Just as registration
officers are.

water in the bottom of the shaft. and
the indications are tnat the oJ0-foot

weeks; not more than two months at

superintendent James Quinn, in
charge of the mine. has every con-
idence that the 500 level will open
up just as good a showing as was en-
eountered at the 500-foot mark.
There Is but little doubt of the ore
going down, and that Il will be even
richer than on the level which has
just been left. The work is being
confined to the sinking of the shaft,
all operations at the 500 having been

McMURRY GETS NEW TRIAL
Talking With Juror Gives Accused
Benefit of the Doubt-Con-
yiction Set Aside.

J. H. McMurray, former secretary
of the defunct Herrick-Kerrin Invest
ment company, convicted of embez-
element a few weeks ago. was yester-
day granted a new trial by Judge
Coleman. The ground for the re-
hearing of the case was the fact that
official indiscretion in chatting with
Juror Paine had been practiced, and
the accused was given the benefit of
the doubt as to the effect the con-
versation might have had upon the
juror. McMurray was freed from the
stigma of conviction and his trial will
have to be begun anew.
