AUTO owners FAIL
TO MAKE Returns
Levy Court Will Now Place
Its Own Assessments
On Machines
LIKELY TO MAKE
THE VALUE HEAVY

Owners of automobiles in New Cas-
tie county who have failed to send
in returns as TO the valuation of their
cars Will find that the Levy Court
will put on a heavy assessment.
When the Levy Court decided to
assess automobiles IL was decided to
ask every owner of car in the coun-
~ to place his own valuation on his
car Then the Levy Court can take
that valuation and the assessment
made by the assessor and compare the
figures in order TO reach a proper
assessment. Clerk of the Peace Harry
A. Brown sent the following letter
To every automobile owner in the
county:
Dear Sir: The assessors Of New
Castle county have been directed by
the Levy Court to forward the names
of all those who are owners of auto
mobiles in this county, in order that
the same may be properly assessed
for county purposes. Your name has
been turned In as being the owner OF
an automobile.
"You Will kindly fill in the blank
spaces below and return TO this office
not later than March 10, 1915.
"Nours very truly,
Harry A. Brown"
So il can be seen that the 500 own
ers who have refused or neglected to
answer this letter will be compelled
TO pay taxes on an assessment to be
reached by the Levy Court to the best
Of it's ability.
Commissioner William n. Purks has
commenced the work Of comparing
the valuation of cars given by the
owners and the assessment made by
the assessors.

DISCUSSES Taxes
Finance Committee and City
Solicitor TO Consider North
ern District Situation
GRANT REQUEST
FOR ARC LAMPS

AT the meeting of City Council last
night, Councilman W. E. stoyer re-
piled 10 some criticisms OF his mo-
lives in bringing to the attention Of
the members two weeks ago the ques-
tion Of the taxes due the city in the
northern district for the years i9ci
TO 1907. With an apparent effort to
control his feelings of anger, Mr..
Stover resented the implication that
his purpose in urging action In this
matter was anything other than for
the good of the city.
Mr.. Stover told the members two
weeks ago when he brought up the
question that he would urge definite
action at the meeting the following
week Hut the next week he was ie-
tanned by his private business affairs
and could not get to the Council meet
ing. He said his motive had been
questioned in a newspaper editorial
and stated that he understood the
president of Council. William p.
White, had asked the question as to
whether Mr.. Stover had the courage
TO push the matter. Mr.. Stoyer told
Mr.. White that he believed he had
known him long enough and dnew
him we'll enough to know whether he
(Stover) was In earnest OF not IN his
motives In this or any other question.
He declared he was ready 10 take
up the question Of the back taxes for
the northern district either in open
meeting OF Council or in executive
session and was ready 10 give The
whole story TO the members in detail
or abbreviated form. This was mat
ter. he said, for Council TO decide
A recess for fifteen minutes was
taken on motion of Councilman Kane.
The members fled into the mayors
Office while the representatives oil
the press and al who wished to come
were invited into the room. As soon
as all had entered, Mr.. Stovor asked
what II was proposed TO do. Mr.. Kane
said before the matter went any furth-
er he wanted 70 register "a kick" He
stated that as one member Of the fin
ance committee, Mr.. Stover had never
taken up with him the question OF
back taxes referred TO and thought
he was entitled to know all about IL
and would insist on knowing.
! Tie moved that the finance committed
and City Solicitor Daniel O. Hastingi
have conference on the subject mex
/ Thursday Mr.. Stover stated that h
i hoped he had not hurt the feelings o
| the other members Of the finance com
mitteo. He referred TO the audit tina
had been made of the books OF the Ia
collector in the northern district, ant
said he thought this had been done by
former finance committee.
The new bill now in Dover, Mr.. Kan
thought, would give the city q chanc
10 recover some of The delinquent take
Iand he would like to have copy @
that bill by next week. Mr.. Stover sal
the delay had been occasioned not alto
gether by the fault of the finance com
mittec. Mr.. Kane's motion then pre-
vailed without any further discussion
and the question win be taken up mex

quest was referred to the Street and
Sewer Department with the rccommen-
dation from Council that the arc lamps
be installed.
A letter was received from the Street
and Sewer Department urging immedi-
ate action relative 60 the question OF
street paving, pointing ont the necessity
for getting an early start ON the pre-.
liminary work II it is hoped to accom-.
plish very much this summer. The mat.
ter was referred to the committee of tho

special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, March lin the
Senate yesterday afternoon, without a
dissenting vote, Senator Hickman's
bill was passed 10 authorize the Board
of Education of Wilmington TO borrow
S150,0O0 for the erection and equip
ment OF an addition 20 the High
School. Senator Gormley was re-
corded as mot voting" on the bill and
Senator Williams was absent.
Privilege of the floor was extended
to President s. II. Baynard. of the
Board OF Education. at the request Of
Mr.. Hickman. Mr.. Baynard explained
that the present High School had been
erected to accommodate 900 pupils
and at the present time 1,040 pupils
are enrolled there and 300 additional
pupils are expected 10 enter in Sep
tember. He stated that the attic and
a room in the basement have been

date the increased school population.
at Is absolutely necessary to have
the addition to the High School in or
der to care for the children" he con-
cluded.
Senator Gormley asked Mr.. Baynard
If il was not true that the first agita-
ton that had been made for the addi-
ton had been made by a Wilmington
newspaper some time ago, and that
agitation had been for a gymnasium.
Mr.. Baynard replied that the matter
of the addition had been first brought
up at a meeting held in the Century
Club in January, 1914. when the
Alumni Association went on record a.
favoring the erection of a gymnasium
for the school. He said il has been
decided to place a gymnasium and
community room in the basement OF
the building. which would not take
any of the space needed for class
rooms. He said, however, that the
advocacy of an addition to the High
School had been made primarily By
the board itself out of sheer neces-
sity.
Mr.. Baynard remarked that he sup
posed Senator Gormley had In mind
recent editorial that had appeared
in THE EVENING JOURNAL to the
effect that as confidence was lacking
/ i'm the Board Of Education a provision
should be made in the bill making
. it compulsory for the installation of q
gymnasium.
( Mr.. Gormley replied that he had
not seen that editorial, but he haC
referred to articles that appeared N
The Sunday Star about a year age
advocating the gymnasium. He sait
that he was in ignorance relative tC
/ the necessity for the addition and
could not advocate or oppose 1t.
Senators Barnard and Furniss spok'
in advocacy of the bill, and each sale
that it would be a good thing If ,
I gymnasium was installed. as thi
health OF the pupils should be loola'
