$50 FINE FOR
INSTRUMENTATION
Police Commission Thinks
This Punishment Sufficient
for DeVeniSh

After hearing charges OF insubor-
dination, disrespect of superior OIL
GERS and absence from duty without
leave the Police Commission yester-
day afternoon dismissed the charges
against Patrolman John Deyenish
with a reprimand He loses his pay
for nineteen days in last month, the
time he was of, a loss Of $50 to him,
however.
Devenish's actions were a source of
mystery to the heads Of the police
department He went home on Jan
uary I 2 when bis father became so i'll
IT was thought he would die. The po-
liceman's parent died a few days later
as result of this sickness. The Off
Ger remained at home until after the
funeral and in fact did not return un-
I'll last Saturday, since which time
he has been on duty.
What the heads of the department
objected to was that Devenish sent no
word giving any reason for his con-
tlnued absence and twice he was no.
titled to report at the police station
but he failed to heed the notice
Devenlsh yesterday pleaded guilty
to the charge OF being absent from
duty but said he did not wiffully show
any disrespect to his superior Off
GERS. He explained that his father
was taken i'll and died. and from the
time he went of duty until he return
ed to work, he had remained in the
house
In considering the case the Police
Commissioners learned that Devenish
was much attached to his father and
was now maintaining a home for his
mother The board felt that the death
Of the father of the policeman and
other circumstances surrounding the
case were worthy of consideration
and they concluded that his loss o.
$50 pay together with a reprmand
was sufficient punishment

Mr. Fouracre said Mr. Burris' re-
marks were uncalled for as this is "a
great big proposition. He said the
rural residents had not had the chance
to hold meetings TO OBTAIN enlighteD-
ment on the building project He felt
that the matter had come too sudden
and he could not tell how he would
vote
Mr. Scott felt that 100000 would
be sufficient money but when the vote
was called be voted with the majority
for a 100000 bond issue. AT the meet
Ing Il was found out that New Castle
county, during the past ten years has
paid OF $4,000 annually In bonds, and
the County Hospital bonds and Wash
ington street bonds will shortly be
things Of the past The workhouse
bonds are gradually disappearing and
the court house debt of $4,000 viii be
wiped out so that the $500 600 joint
building bonds can readily be met with
lower tax rate. Mr.. GoOding and MIR
Burris said the assessment I'm VIII
mington will be sufficiently increased
TO lower the tax rate to at least Al
iiHio anu iuttt tn' iHt'l 'oA 1i AhN
joint building bonds.
Members of the Levy Court were
heartily congratulated today ovei
their action on the building project
because Il would require Sl50,000 tc
get makeshift room in the present
Court House and then have nothing
while the new building can be built
and furnished for less than 100000
The cost of the ground of course, will
account for the other expense. Both
the Levy Court and the City Council
now favor the great project
The city will now begin arrange
ments looking to the sale of It's pres
ent property, and as soon as the Leg
islature passes the loan bills, the
county and city will get ready tc
start the great county and city build
ing
