FILING FEE REPEAL PASSES

Gets Thru Senate Supported by Dem
Ocrats-Republicans Repudiate Pledge
The Senate, by a strict party vote
of to 5, last week, concurred in Rep
resentative Brogan's bill abolishing
the So filing fee. With the final pas
sage of this bill and the $3.50 capita
tion tax of the School Revenue bill,
which also repeals the SO filing fee,
the Democratic majority has succeed
ed in dOubly passing legislation to
abolish the filing fee provision Of the
School law passed two years ago. The
bill was not passed without strenuous
opposition from the Republican side
of the Senate. Senators Ridgely and
Walker opposed it's passage, with Sen
ators Hardesty and Mcdowell uphold
ing it. Senators Mcdowell said the
Democratic side of the Assembly had
made up its mind to endeavor to carry
out the campaign pledge to repeal the
law. He declared it to be one of the
most unpopular laws ever enacted by
a General Assembly, and that the peo-
pie favored the collection of the tax
in a less obnoxious way. Senator
Ridgely said he was aware of the fact
that both political parties had inserted
in their platform planks calling for
the repeal of the SO filing fee. He
doubted the wisdom Of the plank when
it was inserted in the party platform
he said. He declared that every man
and woman in the State of Delaware
regardless of race, color or creed
should be obliged to pay a tax foi
school purposes. He said if the gov
ernor should veto both this repeater
and the School Revenue bill contain.
ing the $3.50 capitatiOn tax provision
the school system of the State will
suffer. Senator Hardesty said if the
governor were to veto the $3.50 SchOo
Revenue bill, with its $3.50 capitatiol
tax provision, he would naturally vett
the SO filing fee repeater.

LIFE CRUSHED OUT IN ACCIDENT
IN AUTOMOBILE At CECILTON
G. B. MCMANUS, A UNIVERSITY
STUDENT MEETS SUDDEN DEATH

Robert GOnce of CeciltOn, Driving a
Team, Was Also Badly Injured
Earl E. Lloyd, Wilmington, Hurt
When the automobile he was driv-
ing near CeciltOn, Nd, Tuesday night
of last week, skidded and struck !
team driven by Robert Gonce, of Ce- +
clifton, George B. McManus, 1908 Park
Place, Wilmington, was killed and
Mrs. GOnce, who accompanied her hus-
band, seriously injured: Earl E.Lloyd
2404 Washington street, owner of the I.
automobile, and Robert Gonce, escaped |
with minor injuries. The coroner of |
Elkton took charge of the body of
McManus. The accident occurred a
mile from Cecilton on the road to
Fredericktown about $50. The car
crashed into the rear of the buggy,
throwing Mr.. and Mrs. Gonce into the
road, and ran up the bank beside the
road, then, turning over several times,
rolled back into the highway. Lloyd
was thrown clear of the machine, but
McManus was pinned under the wheel.
Both automobile and buggy were de-
mOlished. The horse was not killed.
McManus, who was in his fourth
year at the University of Delaware,
was "a years old. His father, John
A. McManus, civil engineer, and his
mother and younger brother, John ARE
| spending the winter in St. Petersburg,
Fla. The Gonces live on a farm near
CeciltOn. Lloyd is employed by the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Com
pany, of Wilmington.
Lloyd, who was on his way to Cen
treville, Md, stopped at Newark and
asked McManus to accompany him, he
said after the accident McManus took
charge of the machine, plotting it
safely until after they had passed
Cecilton. The road was dark, Lloyd
said, and before he realized what was
happening they were almost upon the
buggy, which he said, was without
lights. McManus sweIved, but too
late to avert the crash.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gonce were returning
to their home from Cecilton. After the
accident GOnce summoned aid and
helped carry his wife and Lloyd to
the drug store of J. H. Black in Cecil
ton. Lloyd soon recovered and was
found to be only slightly injured. Mrs.
Gonce is suffering from serious cuts
and bruises and possibly internal in
juries.
A physician was summoned and the
cuts of the men treated. Mrs. GoncC
was taken to her home in a serious
condition. Mr.. Black notified the fam
lily of Lloyd and sent a message tC
Delaware University, informing the
authorities of the death of McManus
His family was notified, and later il
the evening several members of tn,
Kappa Alpha Fraternity, to which h
belonged, arrived in Cecilton.

The Senate has by a vote of II to
6, defeated Senator Murphy's bill to
abolish direct primaries in Kent coun-
ty. Former Senator Kenney said the
bill had the approval of the majority
of the Democratic committee of Kent
county, who had decided that after
twelve years under the direct primary
better men could be induced to run for
Office under the old system which au-
thorized the political party organiza-
tions or associations" governing the
method of selecting candidates for of
fee. Senator Hardesty, Democrat OPP
posed the bill. He said the Legisla-
ture had gone on record a number of
times as favoring legislation ','goinl
forward" and he believed this bill to
be a "step backward"

In the COmptroller's report for the year 1922
we note there is no return for work of Pri-
soners under this heading Since for the past
several years this has been an item Of more
or less moment. we simply call attention to
its absence in this report We again respect
fully suggest that the amount under Mis-
cellaneous Receipts" is too large TO be thus
captiOned. and in the future it should be re-
ported in greater detail. The tax payers, we
feel. have a right to know the source from
which the County's revenue is derived in rea-
sonable detail, as well as to how it is eX-
pended. and this information should not be
covered up under Miscellaneous Receipts or
Miscellaneous Expenditures.
The examination of the COmptroller's Rec
ords and Vouchers clearly show the neces-
sty for the closest scrutiny and watchfulness
on the part of the County Engineer of the pay
rolls of the road supervisors and other items
requiring his o. K. and on the part of the
County Commissioners of bills presented for
their approval.
We commend the Comptroller in his effort
to administer his Office according to the law as
he nterprets it, even though his decision is
overrued by the Levy Court. as per resOlu-
tion of that body attached to his published re-
port.
