MAYOR HARVEY POINTS
I TO NEEDS OF SCHOOLS
Wants to Know How Heavily
Taxed People Are Willing to
be for Improvements.

With reference 10 the several bond
issues proposed and now pending for
the various city departments and the
city's general financial condition,
Mayor Leroy Harvey this morning
called attention TO the fact that the
Board Of Education will certainly
want money TO rehabilitate the public
schools of this city. They are en-
,sowsred in the new school law TO call
for bonds up 10 per cent OF the as
sesSed valuation of the city, incHuding
the bonds already outstanding" said
the mayor ''There are now outstand-
Ing $500, 900 OK school bonds, which
makes the SUM of sI.soo,0eo which
may be issued during the next four
years for school purposes under the
law. or at the rate OF $4,000 yer year
for four years.
How heavily taxed do the citizens
OF Wilmington want to be-" asked the
mayor. las a rule individuals, cor
lorarions and manufacturing plants
prefer TO be located in cities where
the taxes are low and I believe that
Wilmington and its citizens are no
exception 10 this rule. One Of the
most helpful things which transpired
al the recent conference was tbs state
ment OF George 3. Miller, placing in
order the present needs Of the city as
he saw them In his judgment this
order was as follows: First. the
schools; second, the Water Depart
nlent; third, the streets, and fourth.
the harbor. How many people agree
with him."
With regard TO the new harbor
work. Mayor Harvey has not yet
signed the ordinance. recently passed
by City Council, authorizing the is
suance Of $500. 900 worth Of bonds TO
dsfray part of the expenses. He is
understood TO be still considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of attaching mis- sigma
ture 70 this document and 10 be get
ting the opinion and views Of the citi-
zens generally regarding the matter.
The ordinance was sent TO him on
July 10, and under the law ne has ten
DAYS, Sundays excluded, in which 70
return II 10 Council. Failure on his
part TO take any action on the ordi-
nance automatically makes il a law.
Should he veto the measure, it is
understood t&o-thirds Of the members
OF Council are sufficiently convinced
OF the Importance Of the issue TO pass
il over his veto and that they viii do
50.
However, this action, il was stated
today, would raise the question Of the
legality OF any bonds that might be is
sued under such an act and n such
event it might tend TO interfere some
what with the sale of the bonds. The
whole situation is one of deep concern
10 all the city officials involved and
just what is 10 be done will not be
determined until some time next week

WARREN G. TO FACE
SECOND INAUGURAL
Hundreds of Race Fans Flock
To Benning to Watch
Workouts.

Hundreds of race fans locked out
to the Benning track yesterday to
watch the work -outs of the various
horses who are scheduled to start
at Bowie when that track opens
April 2. Benning has been used as
winter quarters for numerous
strings this year and yesterday
practically the entire horse popu-
lstion of the track was out getting
primed for the opening of the race
season in Maryland which starts at
Bowie.
Robert !. Miller, local attorney,
and owner of one of the best strings
wintering at Benning gave his
nags the double o. paying particu-
lar attention to a small 2-year-old
colt which he has named Warren
G" after President Harding.
Warren G" is a husky youngster
of whom Miller expects a great deal
this year. The colt, judging from
looks only. has real class and ac-
cording to Miller will be right"
when Bowie opens.
Miller plans to send Warren c.
to the barrier in the Inaugural Han
dicap at Bowie on the opening day
and the attorney believes that, bar
ring accidents. his colt has more
than an even chance to make an
impressive showing as his famous
namesake in the Inaugural.
