New Castle Common

Arrangements are being made by
the trustees of the Common for hold
ing an election in the near future to
fiji the vacancy caused by the death
of John NJ. Hance some weeks ago.
The trustees are an unique BODY IN
different ways. The first board OF
Trustees was incorporated in 1854
bv William PENIS two n h
trustees have the management OF
1000 acres of land donated to New
Castle bv William Penn who landed
at New Castle 1852. The nine farms
are rented at Sc per acre:
The officers of the Trustees are
Frank de Haas Janvier, president;
Patrick McGory, treasurer, and Rlch-
ard Rodnew, secretary. The th!rten
Trustees give their services without
remuneration. The trustees serve as
long as they live and the offices are
therefore considered an honor to
those holding them.
Mrs. Lydia A. Biggs is n of the
best farmers among the tenants and
has ITO acres of the land in her poss-
ession and all rent is paid up to date.
In tie point of service Patrick NC
Cory, a member of the board of ass
essment, Wilmington, is the Oldest
member while Robert R. Morrison,
is the oldest man serving on the
Board.
1t is not generally known that the
Trustees owe the heirs of William
Penn an ear of Indian corn as rent
of the farms, for every year New
Castle has had the very profitable
tract. But Penn's heirs peyeE demand.
ed the ear Of corn and so the credit OF
the Trustees naturally is the best.

Merry Political Scrap

Delaware 'consindes to- haves~fnrni-
-cipalzelections separate,State and Ma
tional elections. Wilmington will have
an election for Mayor and Council IN
June. There is a merry fight now pa
for the nominations in whichathe fac
tional fight of the dupont family over
the fight of the sale of Powder Com
pany stock has incidentally entered.
William G. Taylor, who represents
the Alferd l. dupont faction was the
only one in the field after the Repub-
lean nomination for Mayor until this
week when James w. Robertson, City
Councilman entered against him.
Robertson represents the 7. Coleman
and Pierre DUPONT interests. The
fight is becoming acriminous. The
editorial squibs in the Evening journal
against Taylor and those in the Morn
ing News against Robertson now make
the gaiety of Wilmington journalism.
John w. Lawson, the present Demo-
cratic Mayor, is seeking a reelection.
He has an opponent in William {.
Connolly, who is not likely to interfere
much with Mayor Lawson's renomin-
alton and reelection.

Can't Fill Office

The death of Lieutenant Governor
Lewis E. Eliason, of Delaware, has
created a condition in the State gov
eminent not known often to occur. By
virtue of his office he was presiding
officer of the Senate and a member of
The State Board of Pardons and in the
event of the death, resignation or dis
ability of the Governor, would have as
sumed that Office, changing control
from Republican to Democrat. There
is no provision for filing the office Ct
Lieutenant Governor and the Secretary
of State would become Governor in
the event Of a vacancy in the Board
of Fardons. While there is hardly
a possibility of a deadlock in the Board
there could be such a thing with four
members.

Last Toll Road Gone

Through the generosity of Pierre S.
dupont, the Wilmington and kennett
turnpike, on which toll has been col
lected for vehicles for more than a
century, has become a free public road.
Rlr. dupont offered to buy at $50 a
share all the stock of the turnpike
company, which has a par value of $50
He also offered to pay all the indeot-
edness of the company. All of the
stockholders with the exception of two
or three who have been heard from
turned over their shares and the gates
have been removed. Mr.. dupont will
convert the turnpike into a concrete
roadway ri feet wide.

OVER THE RIVER


The Wilmington Tax Payers Leageu
has made a further move to test the
constitutionality of the State law levy
ing taxes upon incomes, in addition to
those levied by the Federal Govern
ment. Attorneys for the League have
conferred with Attorney-Genera Rein
harde, with a view of e~xpediting a test
case and the Attorney-General has
promised his cooperation.
1t is understood that there is a pos
sibility that the entire matter will be
settled outside of court. 1t was said
that the Attorney-Genera would con-
fer with Gov. Townsend in a few days
with regard to having the State Judges
give an opinion as to the constitution

HOME SERVICE FUNDS NEEDS,

Eyangeline Booth, commander of the
Salvation Army in the United States,
explaining the purpose of the cam
paign for $4,000, 000 which will be
conducted from May 10 to May &c for
the. Salvation Army Home Service
Fund, said:
1.-The Salvation Army has been toll
ing on the upward trend for more
than half a century, doing just what it
did in France, all in the anne spirit
and manner, but you did not happen
to hear of it, perhaps.
1.-The war depleted our forces and
our finances at home. There must be
not only a rehabilitation now, but we
must rise to the new high-tide mark
and equip ourselves to maintain here in
the United States the contracts we
were privileged to make on both sides
of the sea because of the war"
