reducing IL. this item was eliminated.
To complicate the matter. Levy
Court in its resolutions made no pro-
visions as to whom the highway po-
lice were TO report. or under whom
they would work. The questions of
hours and salary also were forgot
ten.
While the court instructed the
clerk to advertise for bids for four
motorcycles with side cars. no time
was set for the opening Of such bids
and as one commissioner put il this
morning the advertising does not
mean that the cars will be bought.
The action Of the court in decid-
ing to appoint the men instead Of
allowing the encouragement to do
so. when he had asked that he be
given permission to place such Of
ficers on the road to stop speeding,
has caused much complaint. 1t is
contended that IL the men are to ar
rest speeders, they should work un-
der the supervision Of the attorney
generals office or at least be given
authority TO make arrests.

COUNTY TAX
RATEUP 5 CENTS
Rural Members of Levy
Court Will Authorize
Increase
CITY MEMBERS
FIGHT AGAINST

Although members OF the New
Castle County Levy Court are en-
deavoring to pare down the budget
for the coming fiscal year. It has
been practically decided that the
county tax rate will be increased 8
cents. The increase was agreed upon
yesterday afternoon. despite the pro-
tests Of Albert stetser, president Of
the court, and Frank l.. Jones, both
commissioners from this city.
The increase OF cents on each
500 real estate assessment will
mean an increase Of SS3,55712 or a
county tax yield Of S1.169.7OO. The
present rate Is as cents on the 500
Of assessment. The two Whining
ton commissioner favored a reduc-
tion in the appropriations which they
contended would keeb the tax rate
at the present figure II was ru-
mored this morning that the appro-
priations not set by the Legislature
were cut, among them being that Of
the hospitals which had asked for
$4,000. This item was cut to $780,
600.
The most striking Increases in the
budget are in the following items:
Construction Of improved roads
100000. compared with s65,OO0
last year; reconstruction. $500, ,0OC
as compared with 100000 last year
and unappropriated funds s23 .557.12
as compared with 1915 900 last year
Already there are rumors afloai
that Levy Court win meet with a
storm Of protest from taxpayers ir
Wilmington when it meets again mex
Thursday morning. II is claimed
that with an increase OF over $4,000.
900 in assessments in Wilmington
alone for county purposes tn
county should not have to increas
the rate If some reductions are mad
in appropriations.
It is to be noted that the city ta'
rate recently was increased is cent
by City Council. in addition TO whicl
taxpayers in Wilmington viii b
obliged to pay a tax rate OF 25 cent
for school purposes aside from tn
25 cents imposed by the county un
der the new school law. This bring
the total tax rate on property in tn
city up to s2.9O on the 500 as com
pared with the county rate OF sLO
fiat.

HEAVY RECEIPTS
In INCOME TAXES

Income and excess profits tax pay
ments to the Federal Government on
the second quarterly installment
were due at midnight The last
minute payments, made yesterday,
were for the most part on taxes from
the big corporations, which delay
payments until the last minute in
order TO save interest on their
money.
II. T. Graham, Collector Of In
ternal Revenue for the district OF
Delaware. said the rules of the de-
partment prevented him from indi-
eating just how much had been re-
ceived from the second installments.
1t is estimated that the receipts
for the second installment were
much less than the total for the first
date. when many payments were
made in full at the time OF films
their return.
on Of the largest quarterly pay
ments is from a corporation which
pays SS5,000.00 each quarter and
others of S50,0OO.OO. s4O.OOO.OO and
several over $4,000. The small
payments were made in person by the
taxpayers at the collectors OfiicC

permanent peace was expressed by
President Harding today in an ad-
dress at a welcome demonstration
in Lancaster The coming disar-
mament conference, the president
said, gave promise of an interna-
tional agreement that would end
wars and turn the attention OF
mankind to constructive and bene-
ficlal pursuits" He asked for the
support of the American people in
the governments trial over the
reconstruction period and pledged
in return that the administration
would serve the nation to it's high
est ability. The presidents speech
was delivered from his automobile
in Continental Square to a crowd
of several thousands who had come
to bid him welcome to the White
Mountain country.
LANCASTER. N. H., Aug. 4
Lancaster and all the surrounding
White Mountain country joined in
welcome today to President
Harding. Thousands from othel
towns arrived to swell the crowds
that gathered in Monumental
Square to cheer the chief execu-
tive and hear him deliver a short
response. 1t was arranged for
him to speak without leaving the
automobile and other officials plan
ned if possible to spare him from
shaking hanos with the crowd
The President agreed to come here
for the occasion after a commit
tee had called Aon him yesterday
at the lodge. OF Secretary Weeks,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Harding are
staying. Former state Senator
Irving Drew headed the commit
tee and was chairman of the well
come committee today.
Before he came to Lancaster,
the president played a round of
golf on the miniature course i'm
provised by members of the vaca-
ton party on the summit of Mt.
Prospect. q A silver cup has been
purchased for the winner of the
weeks play over the course which
covers ONLY a small area but which
has many obstacles in the form of
huge rocks and underbrush. AL
though it was indicated before the
President left Washington that a
proclamation of peace with the
Central Empire might be issued by
him from Mount Prospect it is not
now expected that the step will
be taken until the vacation is over.
Under present plans Mr.. Harding
will be back in the capitol next
TUESDAY, or Wednesday and proba-
bly, will give the question of a
peace proclamation his first atten-
ton after he reaches the White
House.

HARDING SAYS AMERICA WILL LEAD WAY
TO DISCUSS BRITISH
PEACE PROPOSALS

London, August 1.-The Irish
situation took a sensational turn
;.oday when it was announced in
Dublin that Eamon De Valera and
his associates had decided to sum
mon a full meeting of the Irish
Republican parliament to COM
slider the British Governments
Irish peace proposals.
1t has been repeatedly stated in
Dublin that the Dali Eirann
would not be summoned until Ul-
ster's attitude had been learned.
CoinGident with the calling of the
meeting of this body came conflict
ing reports from Dublin and Bel
fast concerning listers position.
In Dublin it is reported that
Ulster has been sounded and has
returned an answer unfavorable
to the Sim Fein overtures, while
in Belfast, after an important
meeting of the cabinet. it was stat
ed at the Ulster Ministry had
received no communication from
Mr.. De Valera. While the reports
at first glance seemed irreconcil-
able it is pointed out that
possibly both NAV be correct. The
fact that the Ulster cabinet itself
has not received communication
would not, it is noted, preclude the
possibility of an informal discus
sion between Northern and south
ern leaders.
Official quarters in London know
of no other communication having
been passed between Mr.. De Val
era and the Northern Cabinet but
it was understood from another
source that Premier Lloyd George,
after conferring with Sir James
Craig in London this week sent a
message to De Valera which
might account for calling of the
Dali The British cabinet already
has reached a decision regarding
the release of members of the Dali
imprisoned or in detention camps
and it is understood that Dublin
Castle is free to release them as II
may see fit.
DUBLIN, Aug. "A full meet
in of the Irish Republican parlia-
ment is to be called. The official
announcement with the date for
the meeting will be published in
tonight's issue of the Irish bulle-
tin. The call for the meeting OF
the parliament with all members
present involves the release from
prison of 25 members OF the body
and it has been said the govern
ment is willing to facilitate their
attendance. The belief has been
expressed among the Irish leaders
that there was no use in SUM
moning the parliament until the
attitude of Ulster had been defin-
ed. The inference in political
circles here therefore is that the
answer has been received. This
