MORE MONEY FOR
TAX OFFICE WORK
City Council Allows LindmOre
Improvement Company
$477.O2 for Extras

City Council last night allowed tho
Lindmore improvement Company
$477O2, the bill being passed over
the veto Of the City Auditor, the lat
ter having refused to approve the
bill some time ago.
The bill is for extras" i'm connec-
tion with improvements made to the
city tax Office, the contract for which
was given to the Lindmore Improve
ment Company for S45716, the next
lowest bidders having submitted a
bill OF 500.
Mr. Benson, of the Seventh ward,
wanted to know if this was the bill
the City auditor had not approved
and on being told that it was, he said
that he did not want to appear in the
light Of being opposed to the payment
of just bills, but he could not under
stand why Council should want 30
pay the company $62.22 more than
William NJ. Connolly, of the concern,
asked when he appeared before the
coupcilmen in committee meeting, he
having said that the bill for extras
amounted TO $415S0.
Mr. Benson said that he had learn
ed from a man who knew, that the
extras including the percentage al
lowed Mr.. Connolly should not have
aggregated more than $11S.70. He
called attention to the fact that the
charges for extras" amounted to
more than double the original con-
tract.
Mr.. Conway said that the reason
the City Auditor did not approve the
bill was because bids had not been
asked for the extras" in amounts
over $50. He said the bill was not
more than double the original con-
tract, but about the same, and said
that any other contractor had he re-
ceived the contract, would have had
the same extras" He contended
that the bill was a just one.
Mr.. Benson contended that poor
judgment was shown, whereby the
bill fo~ extras" exceeded the cost of
the original work. whose fault It was,
he said he did not know.
The vote to allow the bill was as
follows:
Ayes-Messrs. Dempsey. Rash, Hig-
gins, Kane, DuRoss, McGovern. Nc
Mullin, Conway and President Ban

VOLUNTEERS
TO THE DEFENSE
Argue That City Would Not
Gain by Having Paid
Department
BELIEVE CHANGE WILL
NOT COME FOR YEARS

A partial canvass, made with a view
to ascertaining the position of yolun-
teer firemen of the city, relative TO the
question. whether OF not Wilmington
should have a paid FIRE department
to consist OF eight companies reveals
a difference of opinion with large
majority favoring the present system.
One Of the oldest engineers in the
service whose company is located in
the business section OF the city to-
day placed himself on record as op-
posing any change giving as his reason
for fayoring the present system the
fact that Wilmington now enjoys the
service Of twelve well equipped COM
panies whose members are active and
enthusiastic in their work Much Of
the criticism heaped upon the COM
panies in years past. he declares, has
been unfair and that the blame. most
always, should have been placed on
outsiders. who should have been kept
beyond the fire limits.
According to firemen interested in
the volunteer companies, the city
now has to pay but a comparatively
small part of the expense of the COM
panies whereas the establishment Of
paid department would throw the
entire cost OF maintenance upon the
city treasury. The amount of money
needed TO make such a change, il is
argued, would necessitate an increase
in the tax rate and would thus i'm
pose, what the fremen consider. an
unnecessary burden upon property
holders and tax payers. The cost
of maintaining eight paid companies,
the firemen argue, would be prohibit
tive even though each company be
composed of a minimum number of
fire fighters.
Aside from the financial argument
the volunteers say that paid depart
ments never take. the interest in saw
ing property that is shown by volun-
teers. Under the present system tae
greatest rivalry exists between com
panies and the result is that the city
secures the limit of efficient service.
The members of volunteer organiza-
tions It is argued. take "a personal
pride in their work and the activity
Of the companies of this city in trying
to be first at fires, proves the truth
Of this assertion.
Members of companies in the fire
belt, have been watching with interest
the progress of the plan to establish
an organized fire department in this
city and are confident that the plan
which has been talked Of for many
years, will not be adopted at least
for several years.

LABOR MEN WILL

Efforts Made, It Is Said, to

Business Men.

Union labor as a, body will not place
a ticket in the field in the municipal
election. This is stated by prominent
labor leaders. However. efforts are be-
ing made to poll the vote of the labor

city administration is promised though
no organization has been perfected and
no ticket has been suggested as yet.

However, the attendants are pledged to
secrecy in regard to the workings Of
the organization. the plans set on foot
and the agreements reached.

cleus of a political organization, for it

chine in existence in this county today,
was originally organized.

to bear on prominent business men of
the city, urging them to place a ticket
in the field and promising to support
it, No response has been made to
these requests. and it has not yet been
determined whether Ell Pasoans will be
given an opportunity to pick their can
didates or will have but the one ticket
to support.
If a ticket should be put in the field,
and there are some who believe it will
be, then it must be done by March 20,
and there are but a few days left.
