MISS TALLEY TO
REPORT OF PLAY GROUNDS

Miss Elizabeth H. Talley who re-
presented Wilmington at the Wilkes
barre Recreation Institute. will give
a report of the meetings at the Cur
rent Events Class of the New Century
Club tomorrow morning. This will be
the last meeting of the season for the
Current Events Glass, and officers for
next year will be elected.
Miss Talley ha handed in her official
report of the institute to the Mayor
and Council OF timely interest to
Wilmington in her report is the pro-
test made by DR.. Edward w. Stitt, su-
perintendent of the New York public
schools against letting the school
buildings remain unused so many
hours of the day and evening. He said
it was a tremdendous waste of city
money when these rooms could be
used as recreation centers for parents
and children Saturdays and during the
winter evenings.
Miss Talley agreed, from her years
of experience in charge of the French
street playground in this city. that
speakers were right in urging that the
grounds be big enough to include ball
grounds and athletic field She said
the boys on the ground would leave
the supervised playground for a ball
game under unsupervised conditions
simply because there wasn't room
enough to play ball there. Miss Tai
ley was an after-dinner speaker on
Saturday. May 80. and told the Insti-
tute the progressive playground steps
taken in Delaware.

MIR. DOLE REPLIES
TO MR.. BAYARD
Claims mot Now Exempt, +"
Referring to Taxation, is
"JOker" in Charter

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir-In your paper of the twentieth
inst, Mr.. Bayard represents me as
saying in your issue of the nineteenth.
that "the river front should be owned
by corporation and that the said
property should be exempt from taxa
ton" If one will read my article. he
will see that there is no such state
ment II will also be observed that
Mr. Bayard does not attempt TO an
swer my question. | will simplify
the question, and put il again.
Suppose some one wants to sell the
city a worthless strip Of marsh for
100000. and that the necessary ma
jority of officials. for some reason un-
known TO citizens. are determined to
make the purchase. How under the
proposed charter could the citizens
prevent said officials bonding the city
up to ten per centum of its assessed
valuation and buying said land? This
is the question to answer. Let Mr
Bayard keep TO the point.
In my letter referred to-, l did not
discuss the question Of the charter
giving power 70 tax. But as Mr.. Bay
ard has brought this in, ] will ask a
question as to that power Mr.. Bayard
cites Sec. 81 of the proposed charter
to show that the city would have
power TO tax river front property.
But said section says, the tax list shall
contain "all real estate not now ex-
empt from taxation" The section of
said charter comforting power to tax
authorizes levying taxes on all prop
erty "nOt now exempt" Sec 5. 6 line 3.
AS a matter of fact every one knows
that the said river front property
is now exempt from all taxation. Now
will Mr.. Bayard as lawyer tell us
how, under the proposed charter, real
estate now exempt can be taxed? Is
It not evident that in passing over my
first question and bringing up another
issue, Mr.. Bayard has only exposed
another wrong in the charter?
But the corporation owning the
river front property is not the only
corporation that holds untaxed real
estate. The interests of the holders
of special privileges have had their
unjust interests taken care of in this
respect by the insertion of the words
in the proposed charter, mot now
exempt" Why did not the charter
enumerate the property to be exempt,
churches, charitable institutions, &C.
This clause, mot now exempt" is one
Of the "jokers" that carry the inius-
tice and wrong Of the day into the
future. and no one can vote for the
new charter without voting to per-
petuate injustice and wrong.
Respectfully.
