Deputy Clerk OF the Peace Eliason has
good joke on eleven Of the county tax
collectors who were appointed by the
Republican Levy Court. soon after their
appointmtnt the 5collectors began o
hustle for bondsmen. The deputy clerk
smilingly told them that they need not
take the trouble of bonding, as the
Legislature would pass the Five
Commissioners bill and they would
never see their duplicates. They were
not easily convinced, however, aud each
of the eleven came up TO the deputy
clerk and bonded, paying 81 for each
bond issued. Since the bill became law
the collectors" have tried to laugh VIXEN
they reminded the clerk of their dollar.
They were quickly told, however, that
the money is now in the Delaware state
