Then the matter will be submitted to the regular league meeting for ultimate decision and passage. It is pointed out by leaders that such meeting would be of great help in having the public and the league members make up their minds.
 The regular meeting will begin at o'clock in the auditorium of the Hillman hotel. The executive board meeting will precede 1t in the private dining room.
 Candidate to Speak
 George w. Ellis, who is running for state treasurer, and James G. Davis, one of the candidates for solicitor, will be heard. They will be followed by Mrs. Solon Jacobs, who will tell ence, recently held in the east, where the women of all American nations gathered to discuss questions of in terest to women everywhere. At this great meeting. 22 delegates rep resenting that many countries were present. There are 24 countries in all. Besides these delegates there were 200 persons representing these various lands Wonderful talks were made. Even Hayti sent a represen- tative.
 A really very beautiful innovation Is being inaugurated with this meet ing of the league. It has been de- cided upon by the chairman of the program committee. Mrs. Erie Pettus, and by the president of the league, Mrs. Richard Johnston. All league meetings hereafter will be opened with prayer. These prayers will be given by different ministers of tho city, Rev. J. II. Broadly being the first pastor who will offer invocation today. While conventions generally all are inaugurated with prayer. po- litical clubs and many civic women's organizations have not followed the idea.
 Concerning Guidance
 Said Mrs. Johnston yesterday: I don't think any women's meetings or conclaves should be opened without prayer. Asking Divine guidance and blessing is what all Gods children should do, and as we try to decide momentous things and affairs which concern our whole public. we feel that 1t is very fitting that such guidance be asked"
 Besides the program, the meeting is to be an important one from the fact that delegates will be elected to go to the state convention in Mont gomery May 16, IT and IS.
 Among those who will probably go besides the delegates will be Mrs. Johnston, Mrs. Solon Jacobs and probably others.

TAX RATE MAY
BE INCREASED
Highway Improvement,
School Program Expected
To Require Higher Levy
CITY is NEAR
BORROWING LIMIT

With the county assessment show
ing little change in valuation. an in
crease in the county tax rate is in
evitable. IL the highway improve
ment, library and school building
program is TO be carried out prop
erly. some officials feel.
The total assessment OF the county
for the last fiscal year was $167,-
1OO,956-$111,53T.797 in Whining
ton and S55,543,797 in the rural dis
tricts. The county tax rate was fixed
at 76 cents. in addition to which the
General Assembly imposed a 25-cent
county tax rate for school purposes
Last year the city tax rate was
increased by City Council from s1.75
to $3.50. which with county and
school taxes added. brings the rate 70
S2.91. Unless the tax rate is in
creased the city will receive little, II
any, increased revenue from the as
sessment for the current fiscal year.
Practically all large building opera
tions which are taxable were COM
pleted and assessed during the last
fiscal year. This year the increase
in the value of real estate will be
practically negligible when Offset by
depreciation.
In the face Of available figures IL
appears that IL Wilmington is "a
increase its revenue during the com
ing year another Increase in the taN
rate will be necessary. as the city Is
already close to within $4,000 OF
its authorized borrowing capacity.
