Of view of the News. all honor to
Mr.. Luff. The heavy tax PAYERS of
the county should take off their
hats to him. 1t is a Republican
Comptroller keeping a check on a
Democratic Levy Court. 1t is an
old abuse that Mr.. Lufr has knocked
in the head. The Comptroller some
time ago began holding up bills for
committee work on the part of the
Levy Court Commissioners little
extra compensation for the court
commissioners.
The law plainly says that the sal
ary of Levy Court Commissioner
of Kent shall be $500 annually in
lieu OF all other compensation, and
Mr.. Luff in holding up the bills was
supported by an opinion of Mr..
Harrington, Deputy Attorney Cen
eral, to the effect that the commits
sioners were not entitled to extra
pay for work which is a part of the
extraordinary duties of the com
missioners.
In New Castle County the Levy
Court Commissioners receive no
extra pay for committee work. To |
be sure, their salaries are much |
higher than those of the Kent com
missioners, but it would be better
for the compensation of the Kert
commissioners to be increased by a
definite amount than to have it re-
main an indefinite sum. At any
rate, Mr.. Luff intends to follow the
aw in the matter, and a man who
ioes so is on the right track. k.-Ev-

desirable between the terminii designated

law permits that the route between the

Wilmington, DEL, Sept. g. 1911.
/ Mr.. 4. G. Coleman, Wilmington, Del,
! Dear Sir: We do not consider that we
| have any official function to perform in
the matter of the road, which you pre-
pose to build and give to the State, until
you shall have organized your corpora
tion to build this road. When the cor
poration, thus organized, shall submit to
US the proposed route of its boulevard, or
any section thereof, it will be our duty
to approve OF such route before it can be
finally determined upon and to evidence
our approval by endorsement upon the
survey Of such route, or section thereof,
which the corporation must file in the
Office Of the Secretary of State before it
can proceed to construct any part of the
boulevard.
You have informed us however, that
you have finally decided to suggest the
city of Wilmington and the town of Sell /
byville as the terminii of your road or
boulevard, for the reasons stated in your
letter. After spending two or three days |
in Sussex County and carefully consider /
ing the situation there, we feel inclined, /
to agree with you that the |
southern terminus which you have Sc
lected would place the road in the south.
ern part Of the State where it would be
most beneficial to the county and State.
We are also inclined to agree, unoffieialv,
that the route between Selbyville and
designated in your letter of
8th, is the preferable one for
hat part Of the road extending north of
and when your boulevard cor.
)oration ID duly chartered, and the sur.
'eys Of that part of the route are pre-.
enUed to Us, we shall be willing to Of
icially approve them.
In approving the various sections of
be route the commission feel that their
election should be based largely upon Y
he desire of the citizens for the road.
uch desire would seem to be the best
by the willingness of the people
give the right of way.

been reported as revolving against his

own accord and could not r]elinuuish
their position.

although an effort was made to ar
range an armistice last night. 1t fail

had already made.
