Collecting tho Taxes.
Receiver Of Taxes John T. Dickey
has, in accordance with the new Five
Commission act, given notice when he
will attend In the respective Hundreds
outside of Wilmington during the
months of August, September and Oc-
tobcr for the reception of taxes. 1t
will be seen that although his Office in
this city is now open for tho reception
OF taxes from any hundred in the
county, he will not begin tho vista
tion Of the hundreds outside OF the
city until tho month OF August. In
that month ne will visit New Castle to
receive taxes, on the and 8; Brandy
wine, and 4; Christiana, 5 and Z; Mill
Creek, 10 and IL; White Clay Creek. 12
and ID; Pencader, II and is; Red Lion,
10 and 81; st. Georges. "a and 25; APP
poquinimlnk. rs and 2s; Blackblrd, 30
and 81. After deducting 5 Sundays
this leaves the 8, IS, Is, 90. %, "a for
Wilmington. In the rural hundreds
the Receiver Is required to cit five
hours each day for the reception OF
taxes, but In tho city OF Wilmington
his hours arc fixed by thu law from
two till five and from seven till eight
p. m.
The Receiver In giving notice did
not state where his Office for the recep-
ton of taxes will be in Wilmington,
but we presume 1t will be at his store
No. 226 Market street. As the law pro-
vldes that he Is to get his duplicates
on the first day OF July, his Office is
presumed to be opened from that date,
but unfortunately he has not yet re-
celved the Wilmington duplicates. II
he had them, he would now be ready
to receive taxes at the hours named
and no doubt would be pleased to re-
ceive them at any hour during the day
or in the evening. We sincerely hope
the Levy Court will give Mr.. Dlckey
his tax duplicates without farther dc.
lay, so that the work OF tax paying
may proceed. After the month OF
July the same opportunities will not
be offered to the Taxpayers OF vii
mington as are now offered. During
July the Receiver IL exclusively con-
fined to the city for the reception Of
taxesbu,t after this month he will only
b. compelled to be In his ofllce In this
city on such days as he may not be en-
gagged by appointment in tho rura
hundreds. The law is very explicit
upon this point and says. Its hall be his
duty to attend either In person or by
deputy, at his Office in Wilmington
every day except Sundays and lega
holidays and except the days no ma,
be attending in other hundreds in New
Castle county, for the receipt of take
as hereinbefore provided"
This is very plain English, and cal
be easily understood. AS we have al
ready shown, there are only six day
In August whom Mr., Diekey cannot b,
excused for absence in other hundred,
outside Of Wilmington, In July, then
Is Wilmington's best opportunity 70
paying tho county taxes, and We hop
Mr.. Dlckey may soon get his dupll
Gates, that the people may not los
their best opportunity. On all take
Paid in July and August there will b
. rebate Of five per cent.
Insthatlorder our citizen tax payer
may more fairly comprehend the lav
upon this part of the duties OF the Re-
ceiyer Of Taxes and their duty also q
tax payers we quote In full that par
OF the law as follows:
1.-THE said Receiver of Taxes sha
