DELAWARE FIRE CD.
MAKES STATEMENT
Takes Exception to False impress
Lsion Growing Out of Recent
Councilmanic Discussion.

City Council last night received and
filed the following communication from
the Delaware Enc Co.
Wilmington. Del, May 10, 1920
To the officers an3 members of the City
Council OF Wilmington, Del.
Gentlemen: The Delaware Fire Co. has
been informed that at a meeting of your
honorable body, held on Wednesday even
ing. NAV n, 1920, (ia committee OF the
whole while discussing the appropriation
fer tho Fire Department, Mr.. Johnson,
Councilman from the First ward made
some remarks rejecting upon the cf-
ficicEcy of ;his company in saying that
this company did not need any more
money and did very little service any
way" We feel that this assertion IS a very
unjust orc and VIC resent 1t very strongly
In rcfuting this statement we would call
your attention to the following facts:
\ ! In the department at present there are
TO- alarm boxes. We respond to s. OF
them on the first alarm.
Prom January l, 1919. to June s, 1920,
there were 2I5 alarms. Our apparatus re-
sponded TO 222 Of them on the first alarm ;
20 were out OF our first alarm district and
three of them were out of service Tor
repairs.
Also. there have been several lives saved
through the Use Of the ladders OF our truck
As To the increased appropriation. Wtilc
we have not asked for an increase, We feel
that should vour honorable body feel that
You can enlarge the appropriation, we
should have proportionate share
In vievc Of the foregoing facts 1t IS ccr-
tainlv surprising, when any person, par
ticularlv ono who has served as chairman
Of the fire committee, could have learned
these facts had he so wished, and whom
this company helped ont ot httle un-
plcasantncss by voluntarily taking II
more boxes for the first alarm than the
CITY ordinance called for. that he should
make such remarks. We consider that
they were unjust and unfair, more par
ticularly so when made in a meeting where
the party assailcd was unable to defend
themselves.
We wish further to say that our record
for fire service Is always open tor lnspec-
ton, as it is one we are not ashamed Of
Thanking the members who spoke IN our
favor at that meeting. and your honorable
body for the many past favors. and aSsur-
ing YOU shat We will render you the same
efficient service in the future rs IN the past
until City Council sees tit to take over the
department, We remain.
Respectfully yours,
The Delaware Fire Company. No 3,

WOMEN CAN VOTE

Chancellor Newman, of Da.
wilson, Delivers Opinion of
~, Widespread Interest

In his opinion delivered In Nashville
"Wednesday. Chancellor James b. New
man held that the payment OF poll tax
by women was not a requisite TO
the right to vote. The litigation on
which this opinion was based grew out
OF tender OF 1919 poll taxes by two
women on Nashville to County Trustee
Bell, The trustee refused to accept the
tender and mandamus proceeding
was instituted.
: While the chancellor dismissed the
bill for want OF equity on its face, he
took occasion to render an opinion on
the merits OF the question, reaching
the conclusion that women can vote
without payment OF poll tax The chan
cellor's opinion in full was as follows:
without entering into discussion of
lcpmpiainants' technical right to man

made out by the bill. the court Is of
opinion that the complainants and all
women hetween the ages of 81 and so

Is Self Executing.
Chancellor Newman. In reference 10
the Nineteenth amendment, held as fol-
lows:
while in a true sense the Nine
teenth amendment gives no right OF
suffrage. nevertheless its command that
there can be no denial of the right to
vote on account of sex, is self-execut-
ing, striking down and annulling the
discriminating word male in the state
constitution. thereby leaving 1t so that
all citizens OF the United States over II
years OF age, residents OF the state and
county for certain period, come under
the generic grant OF suffrage made by
the state. Quinn case, supra, p. S62.
while these general principles are
now accepted as sound, and final by all
courts. they do not determine and set
tie, as insisted. the question involved
whether women can vote without
paying a poll tax for the year next
preceding the election IN whicn they
offer to vote.
'Women over 81 and under so years
OF age were not liable Jan. 10, 1919, for
the tax prescribed by section CSC Of the
code, and plainly II was never the pur-
pose or intent OF section 1920 that a
qualified voter. as condition precedent
to the right to vote, should produce
satisfactory evidence that he had paid
poll not assessed against him. and for
which he was not liable. This statute
