Now that the Legislature is organized,
and transacting business it will be we'll
to remember that there is much legisla-
tion of vital interest to the public which
has been promised to the people. Gov
ernor Miller, in his message which was
read to the legislature as this paper goes
to press, will recommend a program
which should be safe guide to the Leg
islature to follow. Regardless of all
other matters; the road system, the col
lection of taxes should receive prompt
action. All legislation for the session
should be introduced before the close of
this month; less than three weeks to get
it in shape.

when it found that it would work hard
ship to enforce the collection of one fee,
the members decided to contribute the
sum out of their own pockets.
Would Mr.. James H. Millman have
done more?
I also wish to say that the sewer on
Franklin St. was completed four months
ago, and Mr.. James H. Millman's prop
erty, mentioned in his letter, ADULTS this
sewer, and the sewer tax on this property
had not been paid at the time his letter
was published, which goes to prove that
it is necessary to give some people twenty
four hours notice.

COMMUNICATED.

EDITOR MILFORD CHRONICLE,
Dear Sir:-In your issue of last week
there was a communication under the
caption "a Charitable Act" which re-
quires an answer. In that letter James
H. Millman bitterly censures the men,
bers of Council for requiring poor widow
to pay the fee for tapping sewer, and
giving certain details to show the sacrifice
on her part and how the Collector, Mr.
John H. Roach, came to her rescue, Of
fering to pay this tapping fee out of his
own private funds, rather than see the
widow embarrassed.
This story, if true, would cause the
members of Council to blush and would
indicate that we have a rarely benevolent
man as our Collector of town taxes. One
can easily see that with such a story in
circulation it is not surprising that Mr.
Roach was unopposed for reelection; but
the facts are these and they will be veri-
fed by every member of the retiring
Council.
In the first place. a petition was pre-
sented to Council several months ago
asking for a sewer on Washington Street,
signed by a majority of the residents of
that street, and Council ordered the con-
struction of the sewer. The tapping fee
is fixed in our charter and the Council is
. Obliged to collect it. President of Coun-
I Gil, Mr.. Kirby, instructed Mr.. Roach, the
Collector, to proceed with the collection
j of these fees, and at the same time in
structed him not Immediately to enforce
the collection of the tapping fee of the
party in question { the widow but to leave
this to the last, when Council would in
struct him what to do. Instead of follow
ing instructions Mr.. Roach announced
that Council demanded the collection of
This fee and that he would pay it out of
his own private funds.
Whether this was intended for campaign
material don't know, but surely it in
clined many citizens favorably toward the
support of Mr.. Roach for re election. As
a matter of fact, when Mr.. Roach made his
report to Council the several members in
formed him that it was a matter that they
proposed. to care for among themselves,
and each agreed to contribute an amount
ont of his own private funds sufficient to
paw the tapping fee in question.
do not know whether Mr.. Millman is
RESPONSIBLE for the article which appeared
in vour paper or whether it was inspired
bv someone else, but speaking for the
members of Council. who devote their !
time and thought to the affairs of the
town without compensation, the article |
must appeal to all as unjust and without
warrant whatsoever.
/ don't see how the public can expect
Council to do more than it has endeavored
to do in this case: First it endeavored to
enforce the law impartially. Second, I

THE attempt to reverse the decision Of
the people as expressed at the polls last
November, was high handed piece oi
political brigandage, and only failed be-
cause of the rapidly crystalizing senti-
ment in the fair dealing and right-think-
ing Democrats of Delaware, against this
attempt to steal control of the Senate Of
Delaware. Only once before in the past
decade has an attempt of this kind been
made, and that was in 1896, when the
Democrats of Kent county deliberately
through their control of the political ma
chinery of that county, stole from the
Republicans the election of a legislature
and also the election of majority of the
members of the Constitutional Conven-
tion which assembled the winter follow
ing. The same interests were arrayed in
1915 as were active in 1896, but the poll
teal conditions are different now, and
the people are not serfs to do the bidding
of political tyrants. In 1915 right and
justice has triumphed and the decision
of the people stands, while in 1896 might
crushed truth and justice and prostituted
political power to personal interests.

Reason Why Carney Refused to En-

Particular Subject.

Andy" Roban, the observation-disclosures
ant, wit and good fellow, in his life
time originated many stories OF his
quaint fellow-countrymen. He told
this n about his good friend, Car
ney:
"A visitor to the city was struck by
the beautiful sunset reflected on Lake
Michigan, and, as long as he bought
drinks, Carney listened to his rawlings
about the glories of nature. The
stranger went on in words of color
and elegant eloquence, but forgot to
buy another. 'Ah-you should have
seen that sunset he said, half clos
ing his eyes and incoming. Go on
said Carney. You can't tell me any
thing about that sunset. The sun sets
only about a mile from where l live.'"
