| At meeting OF the Pomona grang
lof this county, held on Wednesda,
last, the following preamble and reso
Lutions were adopted: ..a
| WHEREAS, The farmers of New Castl
county fnd that they are heavily bur
thensd by taxation that is imposed OF
them by their servants, the members o
the Levy Court and Road Commissioner,
whose duty it is to direct what amour
of money shall be collected for county
purposes; the most Of which money
comes out Of the hard earned pittanct
of the farmer; and
WHsREAs, the example set by the
members Of the Levy and other Courts
of sitting from three TO Eve hours pei
day, and at the same time getting fol
these short hours, from three to fv.
times as much money IS the most il,
dustrious farmer can earn by workipl
fror1 twelve to sixteen hours per day
and
WHEREAs, Many of the members O.
the Levy Court are farmers, let US ask
them, "De they, when they hire man
on their farm and pay but seventy five
cents or dollar per day, not require
that such laborer shall work from sun
to sum- If 30, are their services as
members Of the Levy Court worth 80
much greater q salary! Cid any one OF
them, while at WORK for himself and on
his own farm, ever think that he earn
ed one-hslf per day what they get as
members of the Levy Court, without in-
oluding mileages
Now, therefore, Resolved, That 1t is
the sense of this Pomona Grange, OF
Nav Castle county, that the sessions
Of our Superior and Levy Court should
commence Al 2 O'Clock, a. NJ, and con-
tinue until l p. m, and commence at 2
D. m., and remain IN session until q p.
M, by which means farmers and others
who are required to leave their business
at any sacrifice, would not be required
TO leave their business more than halt
as many days as they are Z Sw required =,
and this at a rate OF pay that none OF
the members of either Court would be
willing to give evea their short hours
ofservice for.
Resolved, Further, that as the great
part ofthe money raised by taxation for
both State and County, comes from the
product Of the farmers labor, it is about
time they rot only made their ideas
publie, but they will use al honorable
means to make the desired change. As
the farmers are the majority of the vot-
ers they have 1t in their power to rem.
eiy the evil complained of and they will
exercise the same.
Resolved, that this preamble and
resolutions be published.
