point TO a heavy frost and ice for
nations. but during the night there
was rise IN the temperature, and as
a consequence, there was only a
slight frost noticeable this morning,
and little, if any, ice Growers in
several sections Of the county con-
tend that damage has resulted from
the frosts and freezes within the
past three or four weeks. but ma
iority Of them in this section are Of
the opinion that little. if any dam

The Platform Adopted.
The platform adopted by the Ma
donal Progressive Party practically
includes all the suggestions set forth
IN the questions answered by Mayor
Howell II follows:
"The National Progressive Party
Of Delaware was founded for the pur-
pose Of advocating Progressive
thought and accomplishing practical
results IN establishing Progressive
principles throughout the city aud
State.
"The party believes that IL can ac-
complish the most good in promoting
the priciples for which il stands at the
coming municipal election by enter
ing Joint primaries with the Republi-
can Party. feeling that the Progress
sive spirit throughout this community
will support the candidates of the Ma
tional Progressive Party Rt the pri-
mary election 70 an extent which Will
assure material representation OF the
National Progressive principles In the
coming city administration.
I'VE. in meeting assembled on the
evening OF the above date, approving
OF this policy. do hereby declare our
selves in favor OF the following
principles affecting the city OF Will
mington
'First-we believe that there are
large opportunities Of simplifying and

miuistratiye work Of this city so as TO

fix responsibility where responsibility
belongs. and TO generally accomplish
more active, definite and efficient adj
ministration OF the citys affairs To
this end we strongly endorse and pro-
pose to work for the adoption either
Of the commission form of government
or consolidation Of the several city
departments into one central govern
ing body.
"Second--We believe in improving
the present assessment and collection
laws Of our city by the adoption OF the
so-callod Purdy system or some other
approved system as may be adapted
to the needs of our city, looking to-
ward more equitable assessment Of
real estate and a more active collec-
tion of taxes assessed thereon, that a
premium may not be placed on deliu-
Quency.
"Third--We believe that the treas
urer OF the city should be the collec-
tor and custodian of all the funds of
the city. from all sources, instead OF
being collected and temporarily re-
tanned as at present by the several de-
partments Of the city government aud
propose to work actively for the adop-
ton Of this principle, TO the end that
the city treasurer shall be the treas
urer in fact as well as in name.
"Fourth-We favor the thorough
study investigation and full publicity
regarding the present franchise rights
in this city for light. power aud street
cars. in order that the public may be
informed as to reasonable rates aud
conditions Of service, both present and
prospective, in these important Ques-
tons of public concessions, 10 the end
that the city Of Wilmington shall have
either full competition or actively con-
troled and regulated monopoly"

facts are TO be learned. Under the

magazine says:

That prevailed last year.

able To reduce tho rate this year.
The total realty assessment Is 800

Assesspr =. g. Scarborough. compiled
after the board OF equalization had com
pleted Its work on this class Of taxes.
A tax rate OF sI.5S on an assess
ment OF $4,000. 900 means u total tax
burden in Memphis OF about sl.425.-
600. Memphis had a population In
1910 Of $4,000. therefore each man.
and child in Memphis pays
1880 pei al city tax. In the City
OF Wheeling. the n rate Is IS cents
on the hundred dollars. our assess
ment is about $50. 100000. Our total
municipal tax about S2o0.0OO. Our
population is $1,000. The annual tax
charge for each man. woman and
child IS about s475. In other words.
municipal government in Memphis
costs nearly three times as much per
person. as It's costs in Wheeling.
IL would seem 10 the lntelliGencer
that these figures speak louder than
