The state judiciary, sitting en- banc.

cision, upholding the constitutonality
of the provisions of the State School
Law. requiring the payment of a filing
fee of So by every man and woman
twenty-one years of age or more. who
is a citizen or resident of the State of

CORY, excepting those specifically ex-
empted by the law, will have to make a
return of income whether or not such a
person has an income-and will have to
accompany such return with SO fee

law had been attacked as test case by
Charles N. Ryan, Wilmington man

return without the filing fee. A motion

ner of fishing, during the winter
months. A petition was circulated
Monday to which several hundred
names were signed, requesting the
government to withdraw the restric-
ton. The petition points out that carp
is the principal fish taken by the net
fishermen, and that this kind of fish
does more to destroy the game fish from
these waters by use of the net. 1t is
the contention of the fishermen that,
with the present patrol system under
the supervision of the government, it
will lie practically impossible for the
net fishermen to violate the federal or
State laws. The petition will be for
warded to the government through H.

Georgetown. Harrington, Middletown,

greeted the visitors and patrons. On
the committee were c. E. Barnam, G..
B. HoIz muller, j. X. Pettyjohn, Arthur

orchestra, opened the evenings pro.
gram, and, incidentally gave lower
Delaware the first musical entertain
ment of the kind.
Mr.. James E. Lewis, owner of the
Middetown Opera House, was the chief
promoter of the Plaza Theatre Co., and
was honored by beng elected President
of the Corporation, while Mr.. w. K.

urer. The Transcript regrets to state

Early Run Of Shad Appear

Many Delaware river shad fishermen
have gone to the Southern waters to
fish until the opening of the season in
the Delaware river. There will be
more nets operated in the Delaware
river this season than for several years.
Scores are now overhauling nets and
boats. The season usually opens about

fishermen will use power boats. The
demand for shad is increasing each
year, while shad are getting scarcer in
the river.
