charged from the Delaware Hospital

Mr.. Farra said there were extenu-
ating circumstances in the case. Win
gate, In the first place, he said was
very deaf and could not understand

and county affairs in general were
discussed at the meeting Of the Tax
payers League, Incorporated, at No.
604 Market street, last night. DR..
]. W. Bastlan, president OF the league,
was the principal speaker. He re-
ierred TO what be termed the incon-
sistency Of Commissioner Burris, who
had commented on the necessity Of
the question of approaches to the old
B. and o. railroad bridge being set
tied before the county spends any
money on the bridge, while the ques-
ton OF approaches TO Third street
bridge still remains in allegiance. II
one question is tenable the other Is,
too, Dr. Bastian asserted. Mr. Burris
Is chairman of the Third street bridge
committee. Dr. Bastian referred to
the opposition on the part Of Mr.. Bur
ris TO the conversion OF the old Bal
umore and Ohio railroad bridge,
Which has been presented to the
county, into a structure for vehicular
and pedestrian travel, nOtwithstand-
ing that the Legislature at its last
session authorized an appropriation OF
S25,OOO for this purpose. He dwelt
upon the fact that with this struc-
ture fitted out for public traffic. with
a. concrete flooring, the northwestern
section of Wilmington will develop
rapidly. He continued:
While the Levy Court is seeming
ly unwilling to open a much needed
bridge at a cost of $25 900, It is work
ing tooth and nail to build a bridge
at Third street at a cost OF upwards
OF 100000, that is absolutely with
out an approach on the westernly
side. In other words. work is now
progressing on structure that will
cost the latter amount with extras,
when there is no place to put IT,"
AT the meeting attention was call
ed 10 the county assessment in this
city, which has been increased S12,-
100000, whereas that Of the county
shows practically no increase.
