What the Levy Court will do with
tho Every Evening petitions tor re
duction Of the cost OF prisoners feed il
aques,ion that is now fully asked by
oil tax payers, and one which will
have TO be answered In . satisfactory
rv.nnsr, for If ever the real, solid tax
payers Of the county meant business,
they mean 1t now. We DO not desire
to PREJUDICE what the Levy Court will
do, but 1t will be altogether proper to
say that 1t will not do to compromise
matters. Reports ray that the court
will stop half way between twenty and
thirty cents day for feed. and will
concede five cents day 10 tho tax
payers. This will not do. Twenty
cents day is the lowest that will be
tolerated, and fifteen cents Cay would
be nearer the proper figures. Even at
the latter the sheriff would have a
profit Of at least one hundred and
twenty five per cent.
1t il not expected that the Levy
Court will cut down on the old bill
which the Sheriff now presents to the
Court This was contracted under an
agreement that should be kept sacred,
II seems like throwing away five thou
sand dollars tor nothing. but bargain
Is q bargain and shoIld be honored.
But for The future the Levy Court is
free to act, and We hope it viii act
honorably. honestly and equitably.
There must be no lodging the ques-
ton. no sharp practice. nothing but
plain, sensible blsiness-lke action will
meet the case. The petitioners are
asking no unreasonable thing. They
are asking for the pr ctice economy
In only one department OF county
management. They have made no
reference to the most intolerable and
-nntmuhable waste OF money by the
enormous delinquent lists reported by
the collectors.
They could as easily and with as
much show Of reason have done 50,
but they retrained. They might have
asked how In the world the salaries of
Levy Courts were run up to between
$1,000 and $f1, go annually, bu. they
let that drop also. They might have
declared that "a 900 a year was too
much commission for the tax collec-
tors OF Wilmington, but they did not
do 1t. They might have demonstrated
against the clerical work OF the Levy
Court costing over $4,000 annually,
but they did not do it. They might
have demonstrated against the habit OF
borrowing money at the banks by pay.
Ing heavy discount and interest, and
positively against the law, but they
did not do it.
They might have demanded that the
Levy Court publish detailed annual
statement in pamphlet form of the
county receipts and expenditures
which has not been done tor many
years, but which the law imperstiyely
demands, but they did not do il. In
the face OF the terrible extrava-snce
OF The Levy Court they might have
demanded an expert auditing OF The
finances of the county but they did
not even do that. They have simply
asked that thirty three and ore ,hiId
per cent. of the amount OF money now
paid for feeding prisoners be paid no
longer, but on the contrary be lett ia
the POCKETS OF the taxpayers OF the
county. That ia all This is the

goes. The Levy Court may dare to
