ORDER OF council
Objectionable Refuse Is In
cinerated In the Old
City Plant
SOME MATERIAL
HELD BY SHERIFF

Pursuant to orders issued by City
Council last Thursday night, the
Board of Health has had about IS
tons of garbage, which had been de-
posted in the new city crenalory but
which had not been dried by the
American Reduction Works of New
ark. n. j., removed to the old crema-
tory at the foot of Liberty street and
incinerated. This work was done sew
eral days ago under orders of the
health authorities, eighteen wagon
loads being removed at a cost Of SIS.
The expense Is to be born by City
Council.
The garbage was allowed to accum.
ulate at the plant after the American
Reduction works had gone into the
hands of receivers. Il was claimed
IN Council last week that this waste
material was a detriment to the health
OF the city. The material was lying
inside the building and II was said tc
be covered by flies.
The other material which some OF
Council had complained of was found
today to be perfectly odorless, the
only time any odor arises from 4
being when IL is kept within the build
ing.
J. Austin Ellison, secretary Of the
Board of Health visited the plant this
morning accompanied by representa-
tives of the newspapers and the plan
was found to be in first class condi
ton. The waste material. which has
been dried and which is still on the
premises has been levied on by Sher
iff Stidham on a claim and it is i'm
possible to remove II. There are
close TO one hundred tons of this ma
terial on the property, the most of j
being on the outside of the building
From this no odor can be noticed
The only odor comes from the mate
rial on the inside of the building
but even this odor is not noticeabl,
dozen feet from the building.
II is expected that when Council
meets tomorrow night in a commit
tee of the whole. the health authori
tie. win present a report of its worl
in removing the marerial which ha,
been objected to.

city of Wilmington, as well as the as
SCISSORS in the several hundreds in
rural New Castle county, were present
at the meeting of the Levy Court to-
day. The assessment each year is

there are duplicate assessments.

alton OF his car or cars. All cars were

unless the owner set the value him
self. The blanks this year are to b'
returned to the assessor in the dis
trict.

taxes on his own car but If he is Z
dealer he will not be required to pay
tax on his stock in trade.
At this point the court took re
cess for about ten minutes.
A representative OF James I0-Nin
cent appeared before the court late
regarding payment for extra worl
done on Third street bridge Th'
members of the court believed the ex
tras should not be paid until the worl
is completed. The court took a recess
