To the Editor Of THE EVENING JOUR-


To the Editor Of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL:
Sir-I notice that there is some
agitation at the present time TO pro-
hlblt parking OF automobiles on Mar
ket street. This think is carrying
the thing entirely too far.
Wilmington has the name OF having
the worst streets OF any city its size
east Of the Mississippi river, and now
that Market street Is being put into
flrst-class shape it is a crime to ask
the motorists TO- rum on such streets
as Shipley and King.
The prevailing idea In Wilmington,
and in fact the whole state Of Della
ware, seems to be TO regard motorists
as a class OF people that needs to be
kept under the close surveillance Of
the law.
We all admit that the automobile
has come to stay, and instead Of pass
ing harsh laws and ordinances. should
extend to them the right hand OF fell
lowship. Delaware has always been
the FIRST TO stand for Liberty" so
why backslide at this timer

Hold UP COPYING
Of CITY TAX MAPS
Engineers Claim They Had
Permission to Engage in
That Work
COUNTY WAS TOFAY
$1,000 FOR THE COPIES

Owing TO the absence Of Colonel
George w. Sparks, president OF the
Street and Sewer Department from
the city members Of the engineering
department have ceased work on the
taking Of the 1900 maps for the New
Castle County Board OF Assessment.
II was learned today that the engi-
gineers claimed they had permission
frqm Colonel Sparks to nnake the
maps IN their own time. as they and
others had done for the local board
Of assessment when the new assess
ment was being made on real estate
in this city.
IL was stated this morning that on
the return Of Colonel Sparks, the
question will be taken up and * IS
thought that the work will be contin.
ued The county board It was said
this morning, was not asking the en-
CHEERS to steal the maps but are
TO pay them $4,000 for the 1900 maps
In speaking Of the making of the
maps. Charles W. Gooding, member
Of the New Castle County Board Of
Assessors, suid; 1--WE are not so anN-
ious for the assessment figures OF the
City Assessment Board. but they have
much information which we could use
to advantage, such as descriptions of
properties as to size and the structure
of buildings. The idea of paying the
city for this information is wrong, we
should be cooperating instead of work
ing against one another
law ttf,dar ttshfrI rrn ttror.ls In o.
gives us until January I next to make
the new assessment and owing TO the
short time and the vast amount Of work
before us, if we have the maps Of the
city blocks we could devote our time to
the rural sections, where it is needed
more than in the city.
"The law states that all properties
are 10 be assessed by three members Of
the board. and ms we have but four
members, It requires their attention TO
take tine properties one at a time"
Mr.. 'Gooding made in plain that he
was opposed TO copying the assessment
figures Of the city board. saying that
II they did they were merely cOpylsts
and not following ont the inten' OF the
law. This opinion has boon shared by
Mayor John w. Lawson. VINO some
time ago. in speaking Of the actions
OF the county board in seeking the
city assessment. stated that it would
be better II the county board made
its own assessment, as the city board
could have erred.

board, with The exception Of Mr.. Good
ing. have been working on the assess
ments in the neighborhood of Black
