AEFDAVITS HANDED
UP TO CHANCELLOR

Special TO The Evening Journal.
DOVER, Aug. 23.-In compliance
with a rule issued last week by
Chancellor Wolcott on the Directors
OF the Department OF Public Safety
OF Wilmington to show cause why a
preliminary injunction should not be
issued restraining the department,
the Mayor and Council and the City
Treasurer from going any further In
organizing the new paid fire depart
ment, City Solicitor Reuben Satter-
thwaite, Jr., representing the de-
PENDANTS. came to Dover today pre-
pared to answer. Mr.. Satterthwaite
has affidavits which he will submit
to the court to show cause why the
restraining order should not be
granted.
The petition for the preliminary
Injunction was presented last week
by Robert G.. Harman. representing
the Delaware Fire Company Of VIII
mington and some taxpayers who
oppose the way in which the direc-
tors are organizing the new depart
ment.
When Court opened this morning
Mr.. Harman asked leave to hle
amendments to his original bill with
several affidavits. and took up all OF
the morning session in arguing these
amendments.
One Of the amendments asks tha'
the Volunteer Firemen's Association
be made a party TO the action. Las
week Mr.. Harman argued that III
section Of the act creating the pai,
FIRE department providing for Coun
ell TO give $4,000 to this associa
tion was unconstitutional on tn
ground that the Legislature by en-
actment cannot give away money o
a municipality. There were severa
other amendments also asked for q
