GOVERNOR SIGNS
HOME RULE BILL
Will Permit Council to increase
City Revenue Through
Licenses.

The "home rule" bill authorizing the
city TO license business and vehicles has
been signed by Governor John G.. Town
send, and the finance committee OF City
Council is already considering ordinances
which would require license OF various
businesses. The city officials are not ready
To state which kinds of business will be
affected. City Solicitor John W. Huxley
is in charge of framing the various ordi-
nances.
One possibility is that members Of the
bar maybe required TO pay small IL
cense for practising law in the city. When
the bill was before the Legislature, Rep
resentative j. T.. McNabb said Don't
forgot the lawyers. They can carry on any
business but highway robbery without
paving any kind of license fee"
When the bill in its original form was
before the Legislature, the Delaware
Automobile Association began vigorous
campaign against il because of the provi-
sion allowing an additional license fee
upon automobiles. They claimed that the
measure as written would do away with the
reciprocity arrangements by which Della
ware automobiles are allowed to operate
part of the time in other states. The bill
was changed TO meet their principal OBJ
jcctions, and though they continued to
oppose it was supported unanimously
by City Council, which appeared before
the Legislature to urge its passage.
II is hoped that the revenue derived
from licenses established under this bill
will relieve the burden Of taxation which
now falls upon owners of real estate.

cials to expedite shipments of coal
for the Potomac Electric and Power
Company resulted today in the dis
covery that only live carloads of

there was no assurance on the part
of railway men as to when they could
be expected.
Mr.. King intimated today that CO.
operation will be sought from local
coal men to allow the Potomac Elec-
trio and Power Company to use coal
consigned to them. This co-opera-
ton. he said. probably would be
forthcoming, but all coal men find
themselves in nearly the same posi-

BEEF PRICES RISE
AS HIDES GOODWIN
Washington Feels Effects of
TWo-Cent Advance
CharQed Retailer.

There has been a decided increase in
the price Of beef in Washington over
the quotations of last week.
Porterhouse steaks of the best
quality were quoted in Center Market
today at rs cents per pound retail.
although good steaks of this kind
could be obtained at 20 cents per
pound from some dealers. Round
steak was selling at from 50 to go
cents per pound and sirloin steaks at
from 65 to 20 cents per pound.
The wholesale price of beef took a
jump of from to 10 cents per pound
over last week. Center Market deal
ers said the wholesalers explained
the increase in the price was made
necessary because of drop in the
prices they are receiving for hides.
1t was stated that the tanners are
paying the butchers Is cents per
pound less for hides than last week.
which has resulted in the butchers
trying to make up this loss by increas-
ing the price of beef
The recent campaign throughout the
country against the high cost OF
shoes it was declared, resulted in the
shoe manufacturers refusing to pay
high prices for leather and the tan
ners. in turn, reducing the prices for
the hides. Wholesalers here would
not discuss the situation.
Tie-ups of railroad facilities, which
have held up beef shipments into the
city, also Were given as a reason for
the increased prices. There is a
scarcity of beef in the local market,
it was stated.
Veal and lamb prices are about the
same as last week. This, il was
stated. is due to the fact that much
of the lamb and veal received here
was from nearby points. which were
not affected by The transportation
situation.
