CASE TO BE
ARGUED in COURT
Decision Awaited With
Interest

Counsel for Thomas II. Cldrlng-
bold, local wholesale liquor mer-
chant and the Town Council Of
Newark, have agreed on a case
stated that will be argued in the Su-
perior Court at Wilmington in a
short time. The decision of the
Court in this case which will pro-
badly be handed down early in the
spring will be Of great interest to
many persons. Charles B. Evans,
counsel for the town, stated at the
meeting of Town Council on Mon
day night that the case was ready
to be argued. Mr.. Claringbold is
represented by Robert H. Richards
Three years ago the town assessor
placed an assessment Of 100000 on
each Of the three local licensed
liquor places, namely, the Deer
Park and Washington House hotels
and Mr.. Claringbold's place which
is located on Main street. The rate
being 81 on the 800, this made the
town tax on each place 5000 a year.
James A. McKelvey and Victor G.
Willis, proprietors of the two
hotels, have paid their tax at this
rate each year without objection.
Mr.. Claringbold, however, refused
to pay his tax on this assessment on
the ground that his business and
not his property was assessed. He
having refused to pay the tax the
town brought suit against him with
the result that counsel have agreed
on a case stated to be argued before
the Court. The outcome Of this suit
is awaited with much interest.
