COUNCIL s APPROVAL
Measure Pending in Legislature
Unanimously Indors ed; Unsign-

That t should have the right to raise
more revenue through the imposition OF
taxes on vehicles, occupations and business
establishments Is the sentiment entertain
ed by the City Council, and one in which
the members last night, in committee OF
the whole. joined in giving unanimous
expression to. The bill introduced in the
special session of the Legislature has
passed the Senate and is UP in the House
for final action today.
The committee passed q resolutlon'
unanimously indorsing the measure, and
also instructing City Solicitor John w.
Huxley, Jr., to make a reply to an adj
vertisement appearing In newspapers OF
yesterday. The advertisement mentioned
was denounced by members OF the Coun-
Gil, by the City Solicitor, by the Mayor,
and found no approval or Endorsement
anywhere ''among those present j.
Mayor Taylor said every citizen OF
Wilmington should support the Council
in its efforts 10 provide revenues for the
proper administration of the citys affairs.
He said if the bill proposed Is not passed,
it only means that the Council Will nee
essarily have to raise the tax rate. 10
attack this bill in the newspapers and re-
frain from sn:ning the names OF the IN
dividuals or organization making the
attack. he said, was indecent and showed
lack Of civic pride.
Those who inserted the unsigned ad-
vertisement were criticised by President
Lyon.
City Solicitor Huxley said the adver-
tisement was not of sufficient weight 70
convince intelligent people. The insinua-
ton, he said, that the present administra-
ton was not an economical one, IS ab-
solutely false and unfounded, and there
can be no one more contemptibie than he
who would publish such an inslnuasior
and be afraid to put his name to It. :,
1t was said last night that Council
would be represented at Dover today by 9
large delegation, and that other city
officials would also be there.
