WILL COLLECT THE STATE TAX
200 Alleged Debtors Being Complied
For the Acknowledgement

Inquiry at the state school tax Of
flee recently indicated that in addition
to 4,500 taxables whose names have
been referred to magistrates for col
lection of the filing fee and such in
come tax as may be due, list of 200
citizens or residents is being prepared
for reference to the attorney general
for criminal prosecution at the next
term of court. 1t was pointed out
that in compiling the list of 200 names
for criminal court action, numerous
notifications had been mailed taxables
without response from them, and con-
sequently, such action was mandatory
upon the commissioner under the law.
The action of the department contem-
plates prosecution under Section %,
Paragraph z, of the law which pro-
vides that taxables refusing or ne
glecting to pay the filing fee and such
income tax as may be due shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and,
upon conviction thereof, shall be pun
ished by fine not exceeding $500, or
by Imprisonment not exceeding six
months, or both, in the discretion of
the court. 1t was pointed out that
the tax department has sought co-op-
Grafton of taxables by every available
means, and all those intending to vol
unfairly make payment or arrange
ments for payment have had the
chance. 1t is believed the remainder
of those who are delinquent in paying
their taxes and filing fee have no in
tention of complying with the law un-
less forced to do so. Consequently,
the efforts of the tax department are
now being concentrated, it was said,
upon the checking of names of delin-
quents which are being referred daily
to the various magistrates throughout
the state.

BOTH PARTIES, SMYRNA, ACTIVE
OVER REGISTERING FINAL VOTE
SMYRNA AND DUCK CREEK HUN
DRIED NOW HAS 1867 NAMES ON
Total Shows Falling Off of Nearly 200
Over Two Years Ago-Difference
Due to No Presidential Election

Saturday last was the last oppor-
tunity for voters to become registered
and qualified for the coming election.
All day long leaders in both parties
were out bringing in those who had
not attended to this duty of citizen
ship and with all there efforts there
were some totally Indifferent and would
not heed the advice. However, the
registration on the whole has been
satisfactory compared with two years
ago when the country was in the
throes of a presidential election. In
the first district of Smyrna, 700 names
have been qualified and in the second
867 names, making a total for Duck
Creek Hundred of 1867. From figures
available for Kent county it was
shown that the registration in this
county for the five days is about nor
NAL, the falling off being so light that
none of the political leaders are wor-
ried. Some falling off was expected
because the registration is always
high in years when a presidential cleo
tion is held. The district which lost
the most was the Fourth district,
which includes West Dover hundred,
where the drop was about rs from the
figures Of two years ago. How the
registration compared with two years
ago is shown in the figures from a
few of the hundreds where results are
known. In the Second district of the
Second Representative district the to-
tai registration in the five days was
778 which is a drop Of but 25 from
two years ago. The registration in
the First district of the same repre-
sentative district was about 700 which
is practically the same as last year.
In Kenton section the total registra-
tion in the five days was about normal
and reached IT'S. In the First district
of the Fifth representative district
which is in Dover the registration is
800 while two years ago it was SIG.
In the second district of the same rep
resentative district the figures We're
718 which is about the same as two
years ago and IN. the third of the dis
trict there was total registration of
700 which is a slight drop over two
years ago. In the Camden section
the registration was 598 compared
with 600 two years ago. The total
registration for the county is about
1000. The greatest trouble the lead
ers had was to get women to register.
While only scattered reports Of the
registration in Sussex county, espec-
tally in the outlying districts, were
available those obtained indicate that
the registration Saturday was heavy,
and that the total registration for the
five days shows a slight falling off
from that of two years ago. In Will
mington about 1000 were put on Sat
urday bringing the total up to $1,000
a decrease of 10000 over two years
ago.

GETS BIG STILL IN KENT RAID
Prohibition Officer Jett Destroys Out.
fit With Sheriff's Help

Federal Officer NJ. E. Jet, on Sat
urday, while on a. hunt for a supposed
still, near Petersburg, below Willow
Grove, ran into one of the largest out
fits seen in recent years. 1t was diff
ferent in its construction from any
still recently found in Kent county.
1t included a large oil tank to which
was attached a large iron pipe, the
tank being over brick furnace, and
from which pipes led to barrels. The
still was in operation when officers
reached the woods, in an out-of-the-
way place. A man was operating the
still but he saw the officers approach
ing and escaped. Officer Jett secured
several jugs of the first and second
running and then went to a nearby
telephone to summon help, he being
alone. He got in communication with
Sheriff Wix and his deputy, Frank
Vansant, and Night Watchman Dick
erson of Dover, who met Jett and
went to the scene of the still, but on
reaching the place, the material part
of the outfit had been stripped or de-
.stroyed. Officer Jett then shot holes
into the large iron tank.

BEGIN WORK ON BRIDGE SOON
Contract for South Market Street
Structure, Wilmington, to be Awarded

Contract for South Market Street
Structure, Wilmington, to be Awarded
The State Highway Department, at
Dover, will probably award the con-
tract for the substructure of the pro-
posed South Market street bascule
bridge over the Christiana river some
time this week. Bids for this work,
as announced on another page, were
opened at Dover last Wednesday, but
the letting of the contract was defer
red. Bids will probably be received
for the steel superstructure next
month. The new bridge will entail an
approximate expenditure of $500,000.
Monday C. D. Buck, chief engineer
for the State Highway Department
conferred with County Engineer Grub
when the latter was informed by Mr..
Buck that it is proposed to begin the
substructure work Immediately after
the letting of the contract so that as
much as possible may be accomplished
while the weather permits. Engin-
eers, in planning the bridge, have en-
deavored to forsee means of cutting off
traffic across the river for minimum
of time, and there will be no interfer-
ence with traffic until work on the
steel superstructure has reached a
stage where it is necessary to remove
the old bridge which will be placed in
diagonal position for use as a tenn
porary crossing while the substructure
is being built. To aid traffic while the
bridge is under construction a road is
being built from Heald street to the
State Highway, giving motorists a
good route into Wilmington from the
south by way of Third street bridge
1t is expected traffic by way of Mar
ket street and the Causeway will not
be wholly shut off more than two
weeks.
