V.P. STEVENSON
DIED SUDDENLY
LAST SUNDAY
Victim Of Fatal Heart Attack,
He Succumbed At His Home
On Second Street
WAS LIFELONG RESIDENT
OF POCOMOKE CITY

The death Of Vernon P. Stevenson,
which occurred as a result of heart
attack, early last Sunday morning,
was the third that Pocomoke has been
called upon to record of her most
prominent and highly respected citi-
zens, in a period of about one month.
Preceding Mr.. Stevenson, DR.. Brad
ford Massey and George H. Evans,
were as suddenly stricken as was he,
and this city can i'll afford to lose
such outstanding men. Their places
are hard to fill, and they will be miss
ed for many years.
The deceased was the son of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. James G. Stew
enson, lifelong resident of Pocomoke
as had been their son, Vernon, who
was born in Pocomoke, September il,
1883, consequently cut down in his
prime. All his life he has lived in
the city of his birth, and for rs years
has been undertaken in this city, in
which business he followed his faith
err and uncle.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by two sons: James w., of Arizona;
and Vernon Hearne, of Wilmington,
Delaware. He is also survived by one
brother and four sisters: Willard J.
Stevenson, cashier of the Pocomoke
City National Bank Vesta, Hilda, and
Beatrice, Stevenson; and Mrs. Joseph
C. Stevenson, wife of Joseph C. Stew
enson, cashier of The Citizens Nation
al Bank.
Funeral services were conducted on
Wednesday afternoon from the home
on Second Street, Rev. J. w. Wooten,
pastor of Salem M. E. Church, of
ficiating, the deceased being an active
member of that denomination. The
bearers were: DR.. A. A. Parker, E. E.
Matthews, Fuller Walters, Arthur Nc
Daniel, Cleveland Carter, and Flem-
ing Landlord. Interment took place;
in the cemetery of the Presbyterian
Church.
No man had more friends in POGO
moke than had Vernon Stevenson. He
was one individual against whom no
ill-will was directed, nor evil word
spoken. He had a heart as big as his
body and just overlooking with the
milk of human kindness. He appar-
emily lived to be brother to his fell
low man and lend a helping hand
wherever and whenever it was pos
sible.

80 TO 90 CENTS
Expense Of Well And Install.
ment Of Garbage System

Corporation tax bills sent out show
that the city rate is 80 cents on the
hundred dollars instead of 80 cents as
in 1886.
This increase has been made neces-
sary by the Installation of new we'll
to increase the city water supply, the
new we'll furnishing almost as much
water as all the others combined.
Another project which will be in
stalled added to the city's expense, and
that is a garbage collection system
long needed. This is expected to be
in operation within 80 days.
In a letter which will be sent out,
the statement will be made that the
increase in the tax rate has not been
made. necessary by reason of the
acquisition of new Municipal build
ing. The City Council expects the
courts to sustain the bill recently
passed in the Maryland General AS

be necessary to increase the next rate
to $1.OO to meet maturity of city mu-
nicipal building bonds.
The taxable basis of Pocomoke City
amounts to $3,140,O0O as against 49,
O39,OO0 for 1886, an increase of $780,
