MUST REFUND $500
IS COURTS DECREE
White and Slower Ordered
TO Pay Back That Amount
TO City
MONEY WAS PAID FOR
ASSESSMENT WORK
speclal to THE EvENING JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, June i9.-Under a deci-
sion handed down by the Supreme
Court at Dover yesterday, affirming the
Judgment Of Chancellor Charles NJ
Curtis, William p. White and Weller E,
Stover, surviving members Of the
Board OF Assessment, Revision and Ap-
peals, are required 10 return 10 the
city $500 paid out by the city for extra
work done by the board In making the
city assessment for i9i3-i9is. As the de-
cree also provides for the payment OF
interest on that amount and the costs
Of the case, the total amount that the
two men will have to pay is between
81 500 and $1,000.
The litigation. which was brought at
the instigatiOn Of the Taxpayers
League OF Wilmington, to compel
Messrs. White and Stover TO pay back
the $500 to the city, has been in the
courts since 1914. Robert Adair~ repre-
sented the Attorney General and the
Taxpayers League in the Court o.
Chancery proceedings from which court
1t was appealed TO the Supreme Court.
The court, however. yesterday, while
affirming the judgment Of the Court OF
Chancery, stated that a future act OF
the Legislature authorizing reason
able payment for extra work by the
members Of the Board Of Assessment,
would be constitutional and valid and
entirely proper. This opinion follows (:
''The judgment Of the court below is
affirmed without approving the opinion.
The opinion OF the court is that an
equitable and moral obligation rests on
City Council to pay TO the members Of
the Board OF Assessment an amount
sufficient to reasonably compensate
them for extra work done and that
future Act Of the Legislature authOriz-
ing such payment would not only be
constitutional and valid, but entirely
proper under the circumstances"
The decree of the court handed down
yesterday affirming the judgment OF
the Court in Chancery was signed by
Chief Justice Pennewill and Associate
Judges Boyce, Conrad and Rice. The
decree follows
"And now, 10 wit: This eighteenth |
day OF June, A. D. 1918, this cause COM /
ing on 10 be heard and counsel for ap-
pellants and Appellee being present 4
and having been heard, it is thereupon /
considered by the court that there is /
no error in the record and proceedings
in said cause in the Court of Chan
Gerry in and for New Castle County. and |
at Is therefore ordered, adiudged I
and decreed by the court, that the

here on the shores Of Lake Palourde.
About five hundred negroes in Nor

as African "cannibals."
Several of the "actors" are wei!
known here and all Of their friends
were out in force, occupying seats
in the gallery, to see them perform.
Every time face would appear out
of the mob in the picture, that was
recognized, howl of delight greet
ed it that almost raised the roof. Un-
doubtedly a good many Of the "pho-
toplayers" themselves were present
as was evidenced by the loud whis-
pered explanations that were heard
all over the house near the front,
as to the action taking place on the
screen. The principal parts taken
by two or three of the negroes were
well acted and thei1 friends were
well justified in the "audible" pride
