After repeating the words of Former
Judge George Gray that the building:

that there was time enough TO vote on

court house but it was dropped be-
cause II was announced that the bill
providing for the removal OF the court
house could not be repealed because
II would invalidate the bonds issued
for the building of the joint county
and city building and the removal Of
the court house. The announcement
that the validity of the bonds would
prevent the repeal of the law was not
true, he said. In this instance he de-
clared the city Of Wilmington had
been made the goat" by the county
for reasons that some people might be
table to tell. He stated that the ses-
sion of the legislature was the place
to look for a remedy.
Mr.. Adair told of the transfer of the
present court house square TO the
county upon the payment of $780, At
present the county court house indebted
ness amounts TO $4,000.
He stated that New Castle county had
enjoyed a court house since 1880 and
now I'M 1914 the city of Wilmington is
asked to pay the entire bill for the
building that the county has enjoyed for
about 35 years.

Mr.. Kramer opposed the bill, but said he
was in favor of good streets.
William Sillitoe thought that per-
son holding a mortgage upon property
would be the only one who would be IN
favor OF the bill because it would in
crease the value of the property upon
which he held such mortgage.
Mr.. Adair wanted TO know IL the
league did not have something TO offer
in place of the proposed bill. He said
something like 1919 cents on each
taxpayer was paid TO the Wilmington
Institute Free Library by City Coun-
Gil. The speaker favored the raising
of a specific sum for paving which
should be raised by a special assess
ment Of five cents or so on the hun
dred dollars. He said that at present
when new paving is done 5000 is
added to the assessment on each lit
tie two-story house Should the bill
be passed he said that this increase
in the assessment also would be
made.
The league then went on record
as being opposed to the abutting
property owners bill but favored the
setting apart OF a certain amount of
taxes for street paving. The ques-
tion of the court house was again
taken up. II was suggested that the
building be used as a school. Others

should be removed and a park laid out
where il now stands.
William II. Blake said that he was
an old member of City Council and
the father of the fire alarm telegraph
and the police patrol and was opposed
to the tearing down Of the court house.
Should the old building be removed
Mr.. Blake said that the ground would
be taken up in cement walks and there
would be no benches for tired people
to rest themselves.
He told of the request for the land
made by the county to Council at the
time the building was erected, and
said he was one OF those who did
not favor giving the ground TO the
county. At that time. be said. the

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
PLANTING TREES
How They Beautify, Protect and Enrich
Their Owners
MEADE FERGUSON

MEADE Ferguson
In the economy of man and OF nature,
| trees are of great value, not only
through the products which they yield
as food and materials for industrial
purposes, but through the influence
which they exercise upon climate, SOIL
and the healthiness and beauty OF
community. The village home to be
beautiful and complete must have shade
trees and, if space permits, fruit trees.
The farm from an economic standpoint
must have trees for shade and protec-
ton from the winds and to produce
wood for the various uses, such as build
ing, manufacturing tools, burning, etc.
Whenever soil cannot by any ordinary
process be rendered fit for corn or grass
and will bear trees it may be planted as
the only, perhaps the best, mode OF
turning it to profit. There are some
tracts of thin, stony or gravelly soils
covered with no growth of any value,
which will pay for no Improvement
whatever except starting tree growth.
In the fall and early winter, after the
crops are harvested and the fall seeding
finished, one could utilize some spare
time to no better advantage than plant
ing trees There is always room and a
suitable place for them. Landlords could
easily effect an agreement between
themselves and their tenants under
which the tenants would be required
to plant and care for trees upon suitable
areas each year.
A Lack of Ornamental Trees.
In driving through the country and
particularly in and around small towns
one observes with regret neglected shade
and ornamental trees, of which there
are so many beautiful specimens. Per-
haps short list may encourage trial.
For Towering trees there are the double
Towering crab, English hawthorn, pink
horse chestnut and eatalpa. For strik-
ing characteristics there are the camper
down elm, weeping beech, variegated ell
der, Rivers purple beech and the lin
den.
Nothing adds more to the welfare of a
family than fruit, besides which there
is pride and joy in producing it at home.
Think of the big red apple and the long
winter evenings of your childhood. Thea
go out and put the old orchard in shape,
plant new trees to take the place of the
old, and be happier. If you have only
town lot and not space for the standard
sorts plant drawf apples and pears. They
occupy little room and will bear in two
or three years. Anyway plant trees ev-
cry season, for they viii grow while you
sleep, add comfort to your old age and
make your children glad, all reasons
worth considering.
