PLAN TO CUT
DOWN GRADES
IS OPPOSED
Street Department Believes
Tenth and Eleventh Streets
Property Owners Would
Suffer
BUILDING COMMISSION
FAVORS THE CHANGE

A conference between the members
OF the Joint City aud County Building
Commission and the Directors of tho
Street and Sewer Department WAS
held this morning. All of the build
ing commissioners we're present with
the exception Of Dan corbit, Jr The
subject of street grades Of the streets
surrounding the site Of the proposed
new city and county building was dis
cussed at length
II was suggested by the co 1mis-
sioners that on account Of the 10 per
cent. grada on Eleventh street from
King TO French end the . IL per
cent grade on Tenth street some
thing should be done to reduce the
grades.
AT the present time on account Of
the grade on Eleventh street between
French and King streets, this street
is used very little. IL was proposed
that a curved and gradually graded
roadwa be built from a point on
Eleventh street through the plot OF
ground proposed as the site OF the
new building. TO French street This
would &c simply a shor. cut around
the corner Of Eleventh and French
streets and would reduce the grade to
3 IL per cent
The Street and Sewer Directors
we're not in favor o. the plan because
Il would affect property In the vicln-
| ity. they felt, and they also thought
that IL would he detrinicnt to the
| landscape of the new building
II was then proposed tha. the lGlev-
enth street and the French sire D
grades be reduced and that King
street between Tenth and Eleventh
street be made level TO do this
might interfere with the Odd Fellows'
Hall and other buildings below Tenth
street on King. as the grade along
there would in all probability have 10
be changed
j. j. Raskoh said he understood
; there would be no liability for dam
ages resulting from such a change OF
grade. under the laws Of this State
! and that he thought that the street
Z should be made level. Director Spark
I atrenuously Qpposed the snesestion
which Ne said was not fair. and while
no damage could be gotten for such
change of grade. be did not pro-
pose to get into a fight with tho Odd
Fellows of this city by changing the
grade of the street in front OF their
new hall Director Murphy also said
that he did not think a change OF the
grade II Il damaged the building,
would be proper
IL was decided to have the city en-
gineer draw further plans regarding
the proposed grade. and to work out
the solution Of the problem without
damage to any OF the prope~itar -
possible.

CHANGERS THINK
WHOLESALE MILK
PRICE IS TOOLOW

''Ihe cost of production of one quart
of milk" was the subject discussed
at the meeting of Delaware Grange,
Newport last evening. Frederick G.
Snyder. speaking on the topic, cited
Instances which he observed and he
asserted that the actual cost was
about four cents a quart These fig
ures compiled by Mr.. Snyder included,
the cost of the cattle, feed, housing,
labor and interest on farm lands.
The Experimental Station at Della
ware College some years ago claimed
the cost of a quart Of milk was a
fraction over four cents. and while
they now claim it costs less than that
figure, the figures quoted last evening
did not include the cost of feed at thu
station which Il was claimed was
somewhat higher than that fed by the
granger.
In addition to Mr.. Snyder. other
members Of the grange spoke on the
subject, and il was agreed that those
who dispose of milk. wholesale, at
four cents a quart are losing money
II was the consensus OF opinion that
more money should be charged for
the product.
On Monday evening Of next week
the grange will observe Ladies
Night" and all the officers positions
win be filled by the women members
The chairs will be filled as follows:

CHANCELLOR'S VIEW IT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, April 22.-An i'm
portant opinion, covering forty type
written pages and having bearing
on trust estates holding Delaware
Railroad stock, was handed down by
the Supreme Court of Delaware yes
terday in the case Of William Aiken
and others, heirs-at-law Of Joseph c.
Aiken deceased, appellants vs.Bryan
& Robinson trustees, respondents.
The case was an appeal from the
Chancellor on a question of Delaware
Railroad stock dividend as to whether
it was a part of the income which
went to the life tenant or should be
treated as principal.
A few years ago the Delaware Rail-
road Company made q special divi-
dend in stock of seventy per cent. and
in cash of twenty per cent A ques-
tion was raised by the trustees Of the
Aiken estate as to whether the spe-
cial dividend should be applied to
the principal of the estate or should
be treated as income and applied to
the life tenant or life beneficiary OF
the income of the estate. Chancellor
Curtis had ruled that the cash and
stock dividends under the circum-
stances should be applied to the prin-
cipal of the estate. A majority of
the Supreme Court reversed the de-
cision of the Chancellor and ruled
that the dividends should be applied
to income of the life tenant, like 9TH
er income of the estate Judge
Boyce concurred in the view that the
dividends should be treated as prin-
cipal
In deciding the case the court was
confronted with the same difficulty
that had confronted courts of other
States on the same question. and il
forming their opinion, dwelt on ths
rules adopted by the courts OF Penn
sylvafia. Massachusetts and the Eng
lish rule. The court, however, adhered
to the modified form of the Pennsyl
vania rule.
The Supreme Court opinion, asid
from its legal Importance, will be
guide for trustees Of estates holdini
Delaware Railroad stock, Of whicl
there arc many in Delaware
The Court also handed down al
opinion in the case OF Simon Tuff "
Herry Cohen, being a question of
judgment on a lien law The judg
ment OF the court below was affirmed
The Court heard argument for
second time in the case OF the Crane
Fraternity, a corporation Of Pennsyl
yania, and Mary c. Keatley, being
case in which the husband OF Mrs
Keatley was member of the orde
and to whom was due a sum of none
as beneficiary which was withheld
by the Fraternity because OF certaii
allegations made by them that Keat
ley had misrepresented himself as L
his health, etc. The case was frs
argued in June. 1912, and a decision
rendered in favor of Mrs. Keatley
but because of the policy on the lif
of Keatley being issued under tn
statutes of Pennsylvania, an interpre
tation Of the laws OF Pennsylvani
was desired inasmuch as the verde
had been mainly rendered on sue
laws. The argument was continue
today.
