pedometer registering "a miles. show
ing that his wanderings in the morn

100 great a tax and decided 10 return
to Philadelphia on foot, making the
total distance he had walked in the

Higgins, who for number of years
was u. S. Consul to Dundee, Scot
land, made an address urging the
necessity of a rigid State inspection Of
cattle for tuberculosis. Mr.. Higgins,
is one Of the trustees of the college,
and his statements made q favorable
impression on the other members,
with the result that the matter was
referred to the Legislative Committee
with power to act.
Mr. Higgins is a breeder Of Guern-
sey cattle and is considered one Of
the best authorities on the subject in
the county. He explained that his
reasons for bringing the subject be-
fore the trustees was that in his opin-
ion If anything along the line is ever
done. il could probably best be done
by being entirely under the Influences
and direction of the State Experiment
tai Farm. He suggested that labor
atOry be erected at a small cost where
the tests could be made at the State
Farm and then there should be rigid
State inspection. He also suggested
that the owners Of cattle condemned
should be reimbursed by the State
and that the State could make no bet
ter investment

COUNTY And
CITY BUILDING
Experts Say Project Can be
Carried Out Without In
CreaSing Tax Rate
LEVY COURT HEARS
VIEWS AT PUBLIC MEETING

In the DUPONT auditorium this
morning a public hearing was given
by the Levy Court concerning the
proposed county and city building for
Wilmington. Decorations included
the sketch OF the proposed square and
building as prepared by John J. Ras-
kob of the DUPONT Company.
S. Frank Ewart was chairman Of
the meeting.
Mr.. Raskob explained the details
of the proposed building, showing the
offices which would be provided in
the building for the use of the county
and city officials
Further discussion showed a unan-
( imous desire for the building. II was
said property in the vicinity of the
building would be greatly enhanced
in value by the project, permitting a
reduction of the county tax rate In
connection with the comment on a
lower tax rate reference was made
to the fact that the county, by the
appointment OF assistant assessors
had already made a step in the direc-
ton of a lower tax rate.
II was pointed out by some of the
speakers that with an increased val
uation on all property in the city
while the building is in use would not
be as high as at the present.
Mr.. Raskob said the cost Of the
ground for the building would be
S15O,00O. which the city would donate.
The cost of the building would be
S1,000,0O0, and the city would bear
one-half of the expense Furnishings
would not cost more than 100000,
Mr.. Raskob said AS TO financiering
the project. he thought the county
and city would issue bonds. Under a
revised tax rate. Mr. Raskob thought
the county could pay the interest on
the bonds and provide a sinking fund
at reduction of the present tax rate.
/ To Levy Court Commissioner Smith
/ Mr.. Raskob described the proposed
steel structure which could be en-
! larged 1T will take $150,OO0 to en-
! you will have only an architectural
monstrosity" Mr. Raskob said.

project
President of Council Stover said
Wilmington would do something in

cides TO go into joint building OF
not and something must be done this
week Regarding the tax question, he
said the fault lies in the system. Tic
did not believe the project would
cause an increase in the city tax rate
He said the city was after a scientific
tax assessment that would prevent
any increase.
