WRITES OF HAZARDS

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir:-Please publish this letter
from one who labors in local hos
iery from seven O'Clock in the morn
ing until six o'clock in the evening
With a three-quarter hour for lunch.
am one Of several hundred girls en-
ployed here and we all would like to
have shorter hours, but there are
other features OF factory conditions
that should be remedied. One is tho
safeguarding of the employees from
the dangers of fire. In the place
where ! work, we have -water buckets,
eXtinguishers and fire hose, but the
only thing that would be safe in time
of fire would be the water buckets.
They are kept filled. The hose to my
knowledge, and | have worked I'm this
place for years, never has been tested.
Yet | have heard the foremen tell the
insurance inspectors that the hose
was tested monthly. In case of a fire
in this place, the hose would be given
a test, the first il ever had and if IL
broke, we might fall victims to it's
inefiiciency. And this danger we
labor under for wages ranging from
50 to SO = week. Thanking you for
your kindness, | remain

WILL REMOVE

BUILDING SITE
Ordinance Providing for Dis
interment Of Corpse Gets
Two Readings
WILL MARK PASSING
OF OLD CEMETERY

The FIRST move to bring about the
construction of the joint city and
county building at Tenth, Eleventh.
King and French streets. the Legis-
lature having passed and Governor
Charles r. Miller signed the acts
making possible the building, was
made in City Council last night when
Colonel w. e. Stoyer. Of the Seventh
ward, presented an ordinance to
amend an ordinance relative to the
removal of dead bodies within the
city limits. II was given two read
ings and referred to the law COM
mittee.
There is a cemetery OF the Old
School Baptist Church in the square
where the city and county building is
to be erected and il was for the pur-
pose of removing the bodies inferred
there that the ordinance was intro
duced
Persons interested have expressed
desire to have the bodies removed
to some other cemetery. Under an or
dinance entitled "An ordinance COM
cerning the introduction and remov-
al of dead bodies within the limits OF
the city" passed May z, 1874. It was
unlawful to remove the body Of any
person who had been buried more
! than six months and when the name
time and cause Of death could not be
shown. In the case OF many bodies
in the cemetery the name time and
cause of death cannot be shown be-
caueo there were no such records
kept by the city at the time of their
death and burial there The amend
ment makes It possible TO- the reg
istrar of deaths and burials to issue
{ permits to remove such bodies even
/ if the records cannot be shown.
The property IN question recently
was purchased by the Wilmington
Trust Company. It is being held IN
trust .or the city. Other property In
the block is being held in trust for
the city, such properties having been
taken over some time ago to ascer-
tain the property values there.
The next step in the plan to con-
struct the twin building will be the
appointment OF a commission TO han
die the entire building proposition.
THE judges of the Superior Court
with the approval OF the Council and
the Levy Court, will make the ap-
ipointments
City Council and the Levy Court in
short time will take steps TO issue
the bonds each body is authorized to
do under the bills that have become
laws The city's issue will amount
to 100000 and the county's to $780,.

OBJECTS TO TAX PENALTY BILL.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir;-Reading through the columns
of your paper that the Council would
sit as committee OF the whole with
the members from this city i'm the
Legislature-tO consider the bills
recommended to the Legislature by
Council for passage-last Wednesday
evening /, like many others that went
to the meeting, supposed that the bills
would be considered in the Council
chamber so that everyone that desir-
ed TO know the contents of the meas
ures that Council recommended TO the
General Assembly could do So But
instead OF Council holding its meet
ing in the Council chamber il held il
in the Mayors Office, behind closed
doors.
Have not the people a right to know
what changes the city Council has
proposed to the Legislature in re-
CARDS TO the repeal and amendments
of the city charter?
From the way Council has proceed
ed with these bills, now pending be-
fore the Legislature for passage. it
would seem that they have not taken
into consideration that the public has
any concern in the laws governing
their city.
Being familiar with one of the bills
that Council has recommended to the
Legislature for passage, IL was nv
desire to hear what claim the Coun-
ell has for its recommendation. This
bill makes a change in the mode Of
collecting the city taxes. IL allows
hof 81.
5 per cent. off. If not paid until
September. . per cent is added. In
October, One-half of l per cent more
is added to the bill and the same
until the taxes are paid. If not paid
in September the delinquent's name
is published in the paper and he is
charged on his bill so cents more.
II there has to be a search made for
title. there will be an additional cost
added to his bill of ten dollars. II his
taxes should only amount 10 say FIVE
dollars, and IL there had to be a
search made for title his bill would
run up when he went to pay it to the
enormous sum of sixteen dollars.
Is il any wonder that Council sits
in a committee of the whole in the
Mayors Office when considering this
bill. 1t does seem TO me to put an
unjust punishment upon those who
are so unfortunate as not to be able to
pay their taxes in July.
Is Il not reasonable to suppose that
most of the taxes remaining unpaid
in July are those that we're unable to
raise the money in July and get tho
per csnt off?
Doesn't It seem that the per cent.
the city adds to his bill now is sufli-
cient penalty?
Every year will find some that have
been paving their taxes every year
promptly for for many years. fall hack
lin payments for different causes.
