special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Jan. II. At the
same time that he read his message TO
the General Assembly Governor
Charles r. Miller, also submitted a
statement, giving the receipts and
expenditures of the State during his
term Of four years, and also the esti-
mated receipts and expenditures.
This statement is probably the most
complete report Of what has ever
been made to the Legislature. Gov
ernor Miller compiled the. report
carefully, which required a large
amount of work.
The report shows that including a
cash balance OF S24,12s sc at the be-
ginning of the fiscal year. the total
receipts in 1916 were S925.316.O1
There was a cash balance OF more
than SlS5,000 al the beginning OF this
year, and this, with the estimated re-
'ceipts for the year, is expected to
be more than $4,000 The esti-
mated receipts for 1918 are 1888, III. "a,
the decrease being accounted for in
the estimated cash balance that it is
expected will remain at the beginning
Of that year
The total fees the past year from
charters granted were more than S2O5.-
600. This was an unprecedented
year in that line, there being many
large munition companies incorpora-
ted. Governor Miller, in his estimate
of receipts from charters for the
next two years. gives $4,000. for
1917. and S127 900 for 1918. The
al
automobile licenses during the past
year was about $4,000, and Governor
Miller estimates that the same
amount will he received in 1917, and
1918. The franchise tax from corpor-
alton increases slightly each year.
This tax In 1916 was about 100 ,Oeo
and IL is estimated that il will bt
$4,000 this year, and 100000 in
1918.
Notwithstanding the fact that dur
/ ing the past four years there hay,
been extraordinary appropriations b.
the Stale. amounting to S2O5. 900, thu
State started 1917 with a cash bal
ance of more thauS s1S5.OOO. Thes
extraordinary expenses were: Wo
mems College. 100000; Revise
Code. $4,000; Hoof and Mouth Dis
ease, $4,000; and Girls Industrial
School. $4,000.

character of children in the rural
homes OF our State. Individual cases
of unbelievable nature could be cited,
but l believe enough information has
been furnished to arouse the better
sentiment of the people Of the State
to immediate action.
Miscellaneous.
During the present session you will
probably be requested to consider
matters affecting
The Delaware Industrial School for
Girls. the Ferris Industrial School,
and The Juvenile Court Of the City OF
Wilmington.
Each OF these institutions is exerting
a potential influence over the social
questions living within its part cular
field of operation. and their present
ments should receive your attentive
consideration
Primary Elections.
There is a strong feeling through
out the State that the direct primary
election does not fulfill the object in
tended to be obtained by the enact
ment of this law.
The purpose and intention OF this
law was TO confer upon the elector-
ate greater and more direct in
huence in the selection OF party candi-
dates FOR Office by the people. Exper-
fence appears to have demonstrated
that a considerable majority OF the
voters OF the State neglect TO avail
themselves OF this privilege.
Therefore, it might be considered
advisable to inquire whether the
best interests of the body polite are
being conserved by the retention OF
this law upon our statute books.

The public utilities commission re- served decision. after a hearing at Hartford on the matter of Webster's crossing at DaEvilie. It appeared from what was said at. the hearing by Day. vile men who are interested in the matter, and by counsel that represent ed more of them. that they do not want the crossing abolished. There are several reasons for this. although the Dayv1lie people are as anxious to have the crossing made safe.
 They meet the railroads proposal to close the crossing entirely and run a new street southward from White street parallel with their tracks to the Main Street choosing. with a sug- gestion that Websters crossing be- ing protected with gates. 1t being held that one EatemAn could tend gates for both the Main and the White Street crossings if the gate -house were-r1ov- cd to point about half way between the two crossings. which are approxi- n1ate1y 800 feet apart. 4
