TAXPAYERS CO TO
COURT TO OPPOSE
SALARY increase
Allege $500 Extra Allow
ance for Assessment
Board Is Illegal
INJUNCTION ORDER MAY
Have Come TOO LATE

Chancellor Charles NJ Curtis this
morning granted a preliminary re-
straining order upon the application
of Robert Adair, representing the
Taxpayers League, restraining the
city from drawing any check or order
under the amendment to an ordinance
passed at the session of City Council
last night, whereby the compensation
of the members OF the Board of AS
sessment, Revision and Appeals was
increased from $3.50 for each member
of the board to $500 to be divided
among the members of the board for
this year, to remunerate them for
their services in making the new city
assessment. The order fixes Monday,
May 5, at 10 O'Clock, as the time for
hearing on the rule.
The bill was brought by Attorney
General Wolcott, on behalf of the
Taxpayers League. The bill makes
the City, the Mayor. members Of City
Council, Council itself, City Treasurer
Price, Auditor Biddle, Building In
speotor Johnson, Clerk of Council
Dillon, the members of the Board of
Assessment, Revision and Appeals,
Col w. =. Slower, William p. White
and William =. Johnson, and the
Union Bank of Wilmington the defen-
dants in the case. which charges the
passage of the ordinance by Council
last night and alleges that the pas
sage of the ordinance was in viola
tion of the Constitution of the United
States the constitution of the State
of Delaware and the laws of the State,
The bill sets forth that the Taxpay-
ers' League is the owner of real es-
tate and that the payment of these
moneys would be a burden upon all
of the taxpayers including itself The
bill prays for an injunction prohibit
ing the payment of the money at any
time.
It was reported about the city that
Councilmen White and StOver and
Building Inspector Johnson had re-
/ ceived their extra compensation be-
fore the restraining order was issued
and shortly after Mayor Howell signed
the ordinance this morning City
Treasurer Price said the check had
not been paid up to the time he left
the Office, at 10 o'clock, and his deputy
Granville p. Alexander, said they
had not received the extra compensa-
ton during the time he was in the
office. Notwithstanding these denials
there was a report that the extra
compensation had been paid and tn,
restraining order was received toe

CHAPTER ~.

George Lescott had known hospital
ity Of many brands and degrees. He
had been the lionized celebrity in
places of fashion. He had been the
guest of equally famous brother artists
n the cities of two hemispheres, and,
since sincere painting had been his
pole star, he had gone where his arts
wenderlust backoned. He had fol-
lowed the lure OF transitory beauty
to remote sections Of the world. The
present trip was only one of many
ike it, which had brought him into
touch with varying peoples and dis
tinctive types of life. He told himself
shat never had he found men at once
so crude and so courteous as these
hosts who, facing personal perils, had
still time and willingness to regard his
comfort
The coming of the kinsmen, who
would stay until the present danger
passed, had filled the house. The four
beds in the cabin proper were full,
and some slept on floor mattresses.
Lescott, because a guest and wounded,
was given a small room aside. Sam
son, however, shared his quarters in
order to perform any service that an
injured man might require. It had
been a full and unusual day for the
painter, and its incidents crowded in
on him in retrospect and drove on the
possibility of sleep. Samson. too,
seemed wakeful, and in the isolation
Of the dark room the two men fell into
conversation, which almost lasted out
