The Meridian stone came into the
discussion. 1t was placed by Mr..
Proctor as about at the rear of the

DAYS flowed a stream of water from

At the conclusion of his talk Mr..

persons with personal knowledge of
the vicinity, and commended by sew
eral for the accuracy of the dates and
events mentioned in his short history
OF Meridian Hill He paid tribute in
his conclusion to Mrs. John 3. Hen
dcrson's public spirit in the develop
ment of the neighborhood, saying that
but for her sixteenth street in par
ticular and Meridian Hill in general
would undoubtedly have gone to the
bow-wows, and instead of being built
up today with embassy buildings
would have been occupied by the
cheapest sort of dwellings,"
Regarding the redecoration of the
hall, Mr.. Topham introduced q pro
posal, which was referred, on his mo-
ton, to the committee on hall and
archives for report at the next meet
ing, the plan being to retint the walls

From horse racing Mr.. Proctor
brought the history of the section into
the real estate development angles in
a manner which later drew congratu-
lations from other members who had
been employed in some of the works
in that locality. He stressed the Co
lumbar College property, then located
on the hill, and the wall that sur
rounded it, announcing that the only
part of the wall left to remind one of
the old college is on Fourteenth street
near Euclid, in front of what was for
many years the residence of John Nj.
Harlan, late Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court. AL
though the fiat top of the wall is gone,
he said and a rustic finish supplants
it, otherwise it is the identical wall.
He struck the keynote, however,
when he started talking about swim
ming. 1t seemed as though the well
crowded hall of men residing for
many decades in Washington was a
hall Of swimming schoolboys of yes
terday.
Gravel PredOminated.

the vast quantity of gravel in the

And so went the history of Meridian
Hill. A picture was painted of a
sparsely settled locality with con-
siderable number of shacks for colored
residents, and but few really large
houses; a hill that commanded a SUI

he would otherwise have to pay if the
case was to go into court.
The plan being followed in Kent
county is the same plan that is being
followed in Wilmington in collecting
the delinquent taxes.
The section giving the Tax Com
missioner power to levy the penalty
reads as follows:
provided, however, that in each
case of refusal or neglect by a tax
able to make return or pay the filing
fee or tax aforesaid the Tax Commits
sioner shall be and he is hereby auth
orized and empowered with the ap-
proval Of the Attorney General at any
time before trial to compromise by
permitting the taxable to make re-
turn or to pay such filing fee or tax
together with specific penalty for
refusal or neglect of not less than the
sum of five dollars and costs that may
have been incurred"
Persons who have failed to pay their
1926 State School Tax filing fee have
to pay total sum of $10.50. It was
stated at the tax department that
many do not understand just how the
sum Of $1,000 is arrived at by the Of
ficials Of the department. This sum
includes the filing fee, the comprom-
Use, and the costs of the case. The
magistrate does not impose any of the
$1,000 on the taxable. This is done
by the tax commissioner as given in
tha DaIaxyoV~o C+a+a Tnnny,oa ETaxr 7 60
The filing fee tax is So, the compro-
mise for having committed a charge
known as misdemeanor against the
state amounts to SIS, and the costs of
the case, $3.50, which makes a total
Of $1,000.
More than $500 returns have been
received from delinquent taxables in
Kent and Sussex counties during the
last two months, it was stated.

SCHOOL TAX LAW COMPROMISE
Question Settled in Answer to Pro-
tests of Many Kent County Citizens


tests of Many Kent County Citizens
Protests have been made by several
persons, especially in Kent county,
who failed to pay the State School
Tax Filing Fee Of So for the year 1926
because they were informed that if
they would pay the filing fee Of So
and a penalty Of SIS together with the
costs of $3.50 a total of $10.5O there
would be no trial before the magis-
trate before whom the taxable had a
notice to appear.
What puzzled many who have paid
the $10.50 when that course was sug-
gested by the agents Of the Tax De
partment, is what right the Tax De-
partment, or agents Of that depart
ment had to impose a penalty or to
include the costs in collecting the So
filing fee without a trial before a
magistrate.
Because Of this question, so to 100
taxables in Kent county have employ
ed attorneys to look into the question
as to who has a right to impose pen
alties and exact costs when there was
no trial
Officials at the Office Of the Tax
Commissioner in Wilmington, when
spoken to about the imposing Of the
penalty On the delinquent taxables,
said that under the law the Commis
sioner is empowered with the approx
al Of the Attorney General to COM
promise case by permitting the tax
able to pay the fee, plus the penalty,

ENDS LIFE

BY International News Service
NEW. HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 26.--
Richard Starr Untermyef, 20.year-
old son of the widely known author.
Louis Untermyer of New York
City, was found dead in his room
at Yale University today, a suicide
by hanging.
Untermyer, q member of the
Class of 1929, roomed in Welsh
Hall on the old campus here.
Young Untermyer prepared for
Yale in Switzerland at the Schoss
Glarsiegg school and in Horace
Mann school, New York City.
Dependency over money matters
and approaching exams" Is be-
lieved to have driven the youth
to end his life. Among his effects
was found a letter from his mother
warning him that he had over
drawn his account "for the thirty
fourth time" and asking him to
be more careful.
The letter. however, was written
in the friendliest of terms, and
classmates today were more in
clined to blame fear Of the ap.
preaching examinations for the
suicide.
The youth had been dead for
several hours when he was found
hanging by a bathrobe cord.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-Louis I'm.
termyer, noted author and poet was
almost completely overcome today
