In a recent decision Of the court in
New Castle county. any person or
corporation furnishing materials to a
subcontractor. can not place a build-
ers'or mechanics lien against the prop
erty which had been contracted fer
with the original contractor and the
owner of the building. The decision
is important in that it affects a num-
ber of lumber dealers and others who
make a business of supplying build
ing materials and who have been in
the habit of supplying materials to
subcontractors. In the decision il
was held that persons who furnish
materials and supplies for the erec-
tion Of a building to a subeontractor
under a general contractor are not
entitled under the statutes to secure
a mechanics lien against the build
ing to secure payment for the sup
plies and materials furnished.

TO TEST DECISIONS
OF POLICE JUSTICE
Question of Legality In Power to Fine
Automobile Spccsicrs Under
State Law.

In view of the announcement that
there viii be q test case as to the
right of Justice Crutchfield to fine
automobile speeders under the State
law. Justice Crutchfield yesterday re-
served his decision in the case of G.
\. Williams, Jr., who had been ar
rested 10y Traffic officers SamueIs and
bradley for exceeding the limit on
Grove Avenue sunday. This case
went over to December goth
Lawyer r Gray Haddon has stated
that he Will make a test OF the case
of w. II. Davis. recently fined 500
by Justice CrutChtield, which went on
TO Hastings Court on appeal. When
this case is called Mr. Haddon will
raise the point that the Justice of
the Police Court exceeded his juris-
diction in acting under the State law.
The State law provided for arrest and
a fine of from $40 to 500. The city
ordinances provide for a report and a
fine of from 81 to $500
An ordinance is now before Council
liking the maximum fine for the first
offense So; for the second offense.
$50, and for the third the loss of Ii
cense. city Attorney Pollard has ex-
pressed the view that the Police Jus
tioe could not fine under the state
law. as the general law provides that
cities may fix their own penalties re-
gardless of the state law on the ques-
ton.
Justice Crutchdeld said yesterday
fe would hold III allowance all speed
ing cases which my come before him
until the question had been settled

Rigid Economy in

LONDON. Nov 22.-Drastic economy in
ali municipal expenditures during the per-

England The treasury has cnIoined upon
all city and village corporations TO keep
down their capital expenditure as closely
as possible. and the Local Government
board, which has the supervision Of these
bodies, has notified them that unusual
expenditures except on account Of i'm
perative public health requirements or
to facilitate the output of munitions will
not be sanctioned.
In London the education committee OF
the county council proposes to save more
! than s1.5Oo.O0O Of the estimates of about
500. 100000. Fuel alone is the exception
, as the higher prices prevailing will mean
en- increase in cost OF 5000. There is
q cut Of nearly $4,000 in teachers salar-
les, which is made possible by the fact
that many have enlisted in the army,
and the schools will get along with a
smaller staff Childrens meals. and
books. which have been provided by the
municipality TO a certain extent will be
/ sacrificed to the amount of $4,000, and
