The DUPONT Building Trust Corpora
tion has turned over to City Solicitor
Hastings a check in settlement OF the
city's claim for taxes on the DUPONT
Building for the years 1914 and 1915.

Is subject to ratitCation OF the settle

The DUPONT Company objected TO
the assessment on part of its build
ing on the ground that It was excess
sive. inasmuch as some items were
counted IN the cost that properly
should not have been included. The
company declined to pay. and Tax Col
lector Morris, through city Solicitor
Hastings, filed a suit In Superior
Court to try to collect the taxes.

conferences have been held between

conferences was that the company's
representatives said they had no de-
sire to dodge their tax responsibility
and would pay the back taxes with
interest at the rate OF six per cent
more than the legal penalty-and the
check was delivered to City Solicitor
Hastings one day this week. IL is
