MAYOR HOWELL PUTS
BAN ON $1,000 SALARY
Vetoes Ordinance Fixing
Compensation for Board
of Assessment
SAYS $500 ENOUGH
AT PRESENT TIME

When the new City Council meets
this evening and Msyor-elect Price
sends in his list Of appointments for
confirmation. it is expected that some
opposition will develop to the APP
pointment of J. Bail Peirce as mem
her of the Board of Assessment. The
appointment of Mr. Peirce is opposed
BY Councilman Kane, of the Fourth
ward, Democratic leader in Council,
who has told some of the Republican
Councilmen he will vote against the
confirmation of Mr.. PIERCE.
Councilman Kane claims Mr.. Peirce Is
not a straight line Democrat. Friends
of Mr.. Peiroe. on the other hand, con
tend that he is and always has been a
Democrat. His father, the late J. Jack
son Peirce, was appointed as q Democrat
to the Board of Public Utilities Commits
sion.
II was learned last night that owing
to his objection TO the appointment OF
Mr. Peirce, Mr. Kane refused TO vote tc
overcome Mayor Howell's veto Of the or
dinance fixing tho salaries Of the new
assessors at $1,000. The veto of this or
dinance was perhaps the last official aei
Of Mayor Howell. He sent the ordi
nance without his signature and mes
sage explaining his attitude TO Council
last night TIE communication from
the mayor reads as follows:
ITO the President and Members of tho
Mayor and Council of Wilmington.
Gentlemen: l am returning you
herewith, with my veto attached,
Ordinance entitled, An ordinance FIX
ing the salaries of the Board Of AS
sessment for the city of Wilmin gton.
My reasons for so doing are as fol-
lows:
Il think $4,000 is too much. mas
much as the law does not compel the
assessors to devote their entire time
to the work. An amount of $500
which is between the minimum OF
s. 900 and the maximum of $4,000, as
allowed by the Legislature. is enough
for beginning. Furthermore, il
would permit of the raising Of the
salary to $4,000 if found advisable
Il advocated an amount less than
$4,000 when appearing before the
Legislature in favor of the bill
Il also informed the President OF
City Council before the passage Of
the ordinance that I did not favor
an amount over $4,000, and no argu-
ment has been advanced sufficiently
strong to alter this opinion.
Very truly yours,
Harrison ". Howell. Mayor"
It was said last night following q
conference held by the Councilmer
that Councilman Kane refused to vote
on the veto. while Councilman Weller
z. Slower, who is to be one of thu
assessors. could not vote legally OF
the question This prevented a two
thirds vote being obtained on the or
dinance CouncilmanAZ
was in favor Of voting on the veto
but it was not called for passage
Council merely received 1t and file,
il away. II is now up to the incoming
Council TO wrestle with the question
II is expected that a new ordinances
fixing the salarie4 will be introduced

OGDEN Howard HAS
PENNSGROVE Store
New Branch Will Be Opened
In CroSS-River Town
July 6, 7 and s

What perseverance and foresight, cou-
pied with faith in a city and its people.
will do toward building up big business
is shown by the fact that at least one
firm is making rapid strides i'll the local
commercial world.
Practically unknown in this city ten
years ago. the Ogden Howard Company
was conducting a chain of stores in
various sections of the country. when
its attention was called to this city
as a place with a crying need tor hrm
doing liberal credit business such as il
was conducting. After looking over the
field it decided to open store here
and today, because of its policy of 4
Squire deal for everybody, it is one Of
the most widely known firms doing a
general home furnishing business in this
section
The fact that it is not satisfied to let
well enough alone even though il is at
the top Of the ladder here. is shown by
the foresight on the part of the heads of
the firm. who are forever seeking new
fields in which TO branch out.
Knowing as they do that the more
goods they can dispose Of the cheaper
they can buy them, they continually
are on the look out for an outlet for
their enormous purchasing power.
When word went forth that PENIS
grove, n. j., was to be made into a
great city in a short space Of time
and that homes would have TO be pro-
vided for thousands Of persons who
would be brought there. this progress
sive firm saw an outlet for its mer-
chandise.
The residents from Pennsgrove be-
gan coming to this store in such great
numbers that the management in its
endeavor to handle this new trade to
the best advantage for all concerned,
decided to open a branch store there.
A location was finally secured at
South Broad and Railroad avenues.
and alterations are being made TO the
building so as to get II in shape for
the opening days which are planned
for July s. and s. Everything is
being done TO make it one grand sue
cess.
Everybody has been invited to at
tend and souvenirs will be given.

RURNES SIS AFTER THEM.

Secretary of State Burnes is everlast- Ingly right in his conclusion that the drunken chauffeur is an intolerable pest and menace to the safety of all travellers on the public highway, and the expressed determination of the sec- pstary of s6ate to suppress the nuisance will be applauded by all citizens who approve of safe and sane use of the roads.
 The drunken man is a disgreeable nuisance, anywhere; but when he be- comes a menace to the lives and limbs af others it is high time to squelch kina. And with a drunken man at the steering wheel of an automobile, every other automobile on the road is at his mercy and subject to the caprice of his . bAfuddled brain. He finds soul .satis- Tying delight not only in speeding, but in taking crazy chances at high speed.
