MR.. WHITE
DEFENDS new
ASSESSMENT
ayS Outside Experts Will
Have the Assistance of
Local Men
FOLLOWS THE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE PLAN

President OF Council William P.
White. who Is member Of the Board
of Assessment, Appeal and Revision,
today, in commenting on the criticism
Of J. Bael Peirce. a real estate bro
ker, on the boards action in engaging
outside experts to make full valua-
tion appraisal of all the property in
Wilmington, said the actions of the
board should not be criticized until al
least all its plans for a new assess
ment are made public.
Mr.. Peirce evidently is not familiar
with our plans" said Mr. White. I'VE
are following the plan proposed by
the Chamber Of Commerce. II Mr.
Peirce would ask the Board he could
find out what that plan is. We are
following the Chamber of Commerce
plan and the statute providing for the
new assessment.
we have not entered into any con-
tracts. but we have employed Mr.
Fred NJ. Lloyd, Of the Lloyd Thomas
Company. and some of his staff oi
experts to make the appraisal with
local men as their assistants. The
plan as outlined by us is entirely ia
harmony with that outlined by the
Chamber of Commerce.
Tn fixing land valuations we must
necessarily have the assistance of loca
men. The expert services Of Mr.. Lloyd
with his years of experience, ought g
be very valuable 10 us. He and his as
sistants will be paid by the city on
basis of days services. SO the city car
dispense vith.-their services any liini
1t chooses.
~The new assessment is to be mad
along business lines, for the best inter
ests OF the city. anad free from parti
sianship. In line with this the Boar
has asked the members OF Council q
suggest the names OF competent mel
Tor LOCAL assistants, from which We vii
make our selections. We want an th
assistance from local mon possible"

house to be built for them by Felix
Isman, the Philadelphia capitalist.
The next news item came orfm os-
car Hammerstein, stating that he
would also build theater for the
home of grand opera in the vernacuIar.
The particular interest in this an
nouncement lay in the fact that the

They have appropriated $4,000 for
the purpose Of giving grand opera to
the people of New York at popular
prices during the next three years,

continue with their plan OF making
the public their partners, giving a

An still these are not the only pro

grand opera next season, as there
have been a number of other an
nouncements from impresarios who
come to the front every year, give a
few weeks of opera with hastily Or.
ganized companies, and then disband.
These ephemeral operate producers
have also caught the fever for an

the city Clubs Company at the Cen
