our CourIy Debl.

~ The GAZETTE has received from the
census department bulletin No. 6, show.
Ing the financial con 1ition OF count lies,
not separately, but all the counties in
each state collectively. On page II we
find the bonded debt OF the counties Of
Delaware set down at $545 600, and the
floating debt ~ S7S, 900. This il should
be borne in mind, refers to the dsbts OF
the counties pu.sly--in this state 10 the
Obligations incurred by tbs levy courts of
New Castle, K-nt AID Sussex-and has
nothing whatever to do with State, city,
town or school district indebtedness.
The census returns OF 1889 showed no
bonded debt "a any OF ths counties, and
gave the floating debt at S44 900. From
which 1t appears that " thin the past ten
years the coaHtles Lave incurred bonded
debt Of ts&5 QUO, and have increased
their floating dot by t29 1900. The bul.
