What causes such large return OF
errorsi Answer-The failure OF the tax
collectors TO collect the roll taxes. True,
the whole amount 10 not attributable to
that, as some have died and some re-
moved away, but two-thirjs OF this
amount at least Ia attributable 10 the
nome objection OF pill taxes. For VII.
mingtou, with this two-third allowau ce,
over So, 200 may he laid to the failure,
more properly the refusal of the col
.ectors to collect poll taxes.
This is something FOR the tax payers of
Wilmington and OF the county 10 read
over and reflect about.
The total poll assess ment Of Whining
ton ut the present time Is 1900, Of
which orly 900 are colored asseesables.
As only atOut half that vote is cast, the
other half was disfraucbised. 1t lie safe
te say that 5000 persons did not vote at
the last Presidential election siruply be-
cause they could not vote, MT beipg as
eessed, aud many who were assess ed
could not get an opportunity to pay their
tax'e. What amount OF taxes do these
u, 600 voters represent? The lowest at
which laborer Is assessed is S20p, but
trAdcsmen without property are assessed
st $500. Professional men, such as aw-
ltlb hHA uOCtJiFy hlt AooNcrfu NJ DItA Vi
S+OO. To colored mans tax is added
90 cents Tor a school tax TOR colored
schools In the countrs dlstricts; this year
It ID 60 cents. The tax levy Is so cents on
tile 500. As every co.oied mans tax
then was q. 30 IN former years (this year
1t is SI.6O), while laborers tl.00, me-
chAn!cs anatrAdesmen Sl.5O, and pro-
fessional gentlt men ~ 0O, 1t is safe to
put the average at Sl.35. At this rate
4, 0c0 disiranchisei persons would amount
10 o. 900. This Is a very low estimate of
what the county loses through the in-
famous dislranchiaement OF poll taxables
in Wilmington alone. The country hue
dreds would run the amount to over ST. =
coo. Every dollar OF this lost tax must
be made up by property owners.
As ST., 600 annually is thrown away in
