lowed the library which he presented to
Amsterdam there can be no question
that it would have been regarded by
the inhabitants of that town with I'M
allowed satisfaction and all Of them
would have esteemed the donor as q
pubic benefactor The case stands
differently now, in time Of meager
returns from business and rising de-
mands upon the taxpayers. Years ago
George AIDE wrote humorous descrip-
ton of al Illinois town whose inhabi-
tants had deserted il to avoid the bur
den that had been placed upon them by
the erection of a Carnegie library
building which they felt too poor to
maintain.
One Of the most pressing problems
of the present time in nearly every
part of the United States is presented
by the tendency toward higher and
higher taxes. There seems no end to
it, but an end there must be and will
be sooner or later, for in many in
stances taxes are consuming nearly all
the returns from investments in prop
erty, and property is decreasing in
value because of the heavy cost of
carrying it.
He is a benefactor of the human
race who makes two blades of grass
grow where one grew before, but there
is grave room for doubt that any in
dividual is a public benefactor who in
creases the tax burden of heavily
taxed community.
There is limit to the weight of
taxation which any community can
bear.

old Meeting House
Gives WAY TO TRADE
Historic Associations OF
Friends Edifice at Ninth
and TatnalI Streets
NEW CHURCH AFTER
SO YEARS OF WORSHIP

Many persons are viewing with inter
est the choppmg down OF trees and the
demolition Of the old Orthodox Friends
Meeting House. at Ninth and ratnall
streets to make way for a business
block and apartment house. After eighty
six years Of service the venerable house
OF worship is to give way to the en-
croachments of business. and the stately
old trees within the walled churchyard
are to pass away forever
The building. which is of frame con-
struction throughout, was built in 1929
when the OrthodoN society of Friends
separated from the Wilmington Society
OF Friends This was following the min
istry of Elias Hicks. who became the
leader of the more numerous division
which retained the possession of the old
Friends Meeting House at Fourth and
West streets.
The interior of the building Is today
in practically the condition it was when
first built. At the back Of the church
there is narrow balcony with the seats
facing the other pews. The old brick
wall around the yard. Just torn down,
was erected later than the meeting
house. and during the years the prop
erty has been in the possession of the
Orthodox Friends several additions to
the property have been made.
The building has been used contin-
uously for meeting purposes ever
since the formation of the society.
For number of years also a school
was maintained in it. being at the
time one of the few private schools
of the city Many of the more prom
inent men and women of an older
generation received their education
at this school and one of the oaks
at the rear of the church building
was planted by the father of Dr.. VIII
liam r. Phillips. at one time a noted
physician of Wilmington.
A new church for the Orthodox
Friends is now being erected at the
corner of Tenth and Harrison streets.
The new building is being construct
ed Of granite similar to that used in
the construction of a number of
other churches of the city.
including Westminster Presby-
terian and Trinity Protestant Epis-
copal. The new meeting house is of
severe colonial style. There will be
a main building with two wings. and

Assessment BOARD
Chancellor, However, Re-
fuses Injunction Direct
ing Return of Money
INVALID HE SAYS OF
LEGISLATIVE ACT

Chancellor Charles NJ. Curtis today
handed down a decision in the in3unc-
ton case OF the Taxpayers League.
against the Mayor and Council to try
to restrain payment of officials who
made the city assessment year ago.
Chancellor Curtis. in his decision.
rules that the statute passed by the
last Legislature 10 legalize payment Of
Colonel W. r. Stover and Councilman
w P. White and then Building Inspec-
Tor johnson was invalid. but he re-
fused to grant a preliminary iniunc-
tion directing that the money received
by Colonel Stover and the others be
returned The Chancellor held that
the legalizing compensation of the
members of the Board of Assessment
was invalid in that It sanctioned gift
OF public money and was unconstitu-
tional for that reason.
Council had passed an ordinance 10
pay the Assessment Board for its SER
vices. but the court. on application of
the Taxpayers League. held the ordi-
nance invalid The last Legislature
then passed a law authorizing payment
of the men who made the assessment.
but the Chancellor in the suit
brought by the Taxpayers League. in
the name of Attorney-General VOL
colt, decides that the statute is in
valid
Just what the next step will be is a
problem. as under the decision OF the
Chancellor. the statute under which
the Assessment Board was paid is
knocked out. but he declined TO direct
the return of the money TO the city by
the men who received il.
City Solicitor Hastings represented
the city and Robert Adair the Tax
payers League.
The Chancellor said in part:
THE legal questions here raised are
Of Importance to every taxpayer and
good citizen. IL is duty of the
courts TO hold within their proper
bounds governing agencies when they
seek to overstep them. even in good
faith. and il is equally a duty Of good
citizenship to take legal steps to pre-
vent Illegal uses OF public money,
however worthy the object to be ac-
complished. Because OF the Importance
Of the questions of law involved and
because the essential facts are undis-
puted. a fuller expression of judicial
conclusions, and the reasons therefor,
have been given here than is usually
necessary on a preliminary applica-
ton.
"a preliminary injunction will be
awarded. eniOining until the further
order Of the Chancellor, the City Coun-
Gil from making any extra compensa'
ton to the Board Of Assessment. Revi
sion and Appeals for any services per
formed before passage Of the act o

deny the story that German agents
