Stock Incentives Urged
To Suur Ton Statesmen

OtOCk incentives OFRc0
To Spur Top Statesmen
Sales executives should reward
top statesmen with a share Of
stock in their own companies OF
in firms with which they are do
ing business, President Keith
Funston of the New York Stock
Exchange declared today.
In an address prepared for de-
livery before the Sales Executives
Club, New York City, Mr.. Fun
ston declared such incentives are
"a means of rewarding a man TO-
day with a tangible share of to-
morrow"
He declared this is "a way OF
showing him that, through divi-
dends, he will share in the prof.
its Of every sale he makes in the
future"
Mr.. Funston deplored the tex
traordinarily low" incidence of
share ownership among execu-
tiveS and sales people. He said
among executives only one out of
every four owns stocks.
He declared stock incentives
can well become a way Ito satisfy
the age-old desire of every en-
ploye to own at least a part Of
the tools and facilities with which
he works."

ments outlined N the projects
covered by the proposed bond issue,
the town would have a sewer sys-
tenn worth half a million dollars.
He read from the resolution and
amplified the statement "said loan
shall be paid by means Of sewer
revenue receipts and a tax to be
levied annually on all taxable prop
erty in the town" by stating that
he believed if an inspection were
made Of all sewer hOok-ups some
would be found that were not yet
taxed and that additional homes
that would hook up to the sewer
system would help to pay the ex-
pense, especially if there were an
increase in the sewer tax, and he
estimated the possible general tax
increase at 10 cents per 500.
The projects as outlined to be
covered by the s1S0,00O bond issue
are: Cd Extending, enlarging,
maintaining and repairing the sani-
tary sewerage system Of the town,
the estimated cost Of which is
S102,096; 90 Extending, enIarging,
maintaining and repairing the storm
water drainage system Of the town,
the estimated cost Of which is
S73,1OS.
It was explained that a detailed
report as prepared by Clarke Gard
ner and Percy Sterling, consult
ing engineers, Salisbury, Md, could
be studied at the town Office.
During the evening, Nehemiah
Marvel protested that the size Of
the audience was not large enough
to justify any action by the town
council and said that they should

bers. answered that the meeting

Estimated wear and tear on the

by some of the newer labor saw
ing devices is indicated in the

issue for sewer improvement.
These charges will probably be
Increased if the bond issue is
passed on Feb. IL, but at present
they are;

GEORGETOWN

Date Of referendum on the pro-
posed $1SO,0OO bond issue for sani-
tary and storm sewer work was set
by the local town council We'd
nesday night as Saturday, Feb. IL.
from to 5 p. m, at the town office.
The resolution setting the date
followed a previous resolution of
final authorization and a public
hearing sparsely attended at which
objection to the project was ex-
pressed by Nehemiah Marvel.
On Nov. IS, qualified voters
turned down a proposed $500, 900
bond issue which included street
paving, curb and gutter work in
addition to the sewer projects.
Mayor Harvey B. Spicer and
Frederick P. Whitney, town at
tOrney, told the group at the
public hearing that SOME Of the
large property owners of the town
who had voted down the original
bond issue, had attended later meet
ings Of the town council or talked
to individual members Of the coun-
ell, and said that they would have
supported a bond issue for the
sewer projects alone but did not
approve of the others items in
cluded.
THAT is the reason we have re-
opened the matter and approved a
bond issue for the sewer projects ..
Mayor Spicer explained.
Attorney Whitney explained that
the voting in the. town when f.
nances are concerned provides for
one vote for each dollar paid in
taxes both by residents of the town
and by outsiders who own real
estate in the town and pay taxes
on it.
For this reason, he continued,
''ten Of the largest tax payers Of
the town can kill any. financial pro-
ject that is proposed"
He said, however, that the coun-
Gil had reason to believe from their
own statements, that enough Of
the 10 would vote for the sewer
projects to make the referendum
J. e. Brown asked If the pres
ent sanitary sewer system was
such that continued growth of the
town would cause a serious over
load.
Mr.. Whitney replied that there
was already a serious overload. /
He read a report from the sewer
Inspector, John Cooper, in which
it was stated that the sewer had
backed up on Dec. 5 into the base
ment of st. Paul's Episcopal Church
and that it had also backed up
On a later date at another point
In town.
He said that there was a serious
overload all over town, and that
when the present system was in
stalled in 1888, it did not provide
or any such needs as were today
He remarked that emer-
5ency repairs would come to some
$4,000 which would have to be
1aid in one year, with an increase
n taxes and no permanent good
lone.
At the request. of Mayor Spicer,
Mr.. Whitney went into detail re-
garding the town expenditures and
said that contrary to public opinion
-hese expenditures were limited
and that should there be a great
Increase in assessment due to the
general reappraisaI being conducted
inder Sussex County Levy Court,
{ would mean only that the tax
ate would have to be lowered and
hat total taxes would be nc
greater than the reassessmient.
Should the present assessment
# some SO million be doubled"
lie continued, ut would mean that
he tax rate would be cut in half"
