CASH DUE THE COUNTY.
| Conyersng upon the question of the APP
parent failure Of the levy court to proceed
| Immediately against the collectors who, as
has been alleged, have not paid into the
| county treasury the actual cash received
by them, citizen remarked Indignantly
to the representative of THE GAZETTE
on Friday "Why, Of that S5l 600 ont
| standing | have no doubt that $4,000 any
/ how has already been received in cash and
that no more than about S11 900 stands on
| these collectors 'dupes' in bona tide errors.
| OF this sum 5000 belongs III the county
and $50 900 in the city, and want to know
| why the court does not move in the
| direction to force the production of this
| cash that has been received"
| The statement was referred by the re-
| porter to one or two of the commissioners
| who thought that probably not more than
$50 600 had been collected in cash and not
returned
An interesting incident that occurred
late in Friday afternoons session of the
court was when certain bills were offered
| for passage they were read with the cert-
ficate of John 7. Dickey as correct and
thus a motion was made that they be
passed.
One Of the members of the court asked
to see the bills when it was discovered to
the inquirer's evident amusement that

Castle county for the year 1891.
The above was adopted.
The amount Of the negro county
school tax duplicate is $52,7S0.
The resolution is prepared in order to
resist any claim on the part of Treas
urer Dickey that he is not required to
collect the negro tax, or any claim that
he may make for compensation or com
mission for so doing. The theory is
that being salaried official the amount
of his stipend covers all compensation
for work naturally falling in relation to
the duties of county treasurer.
