NEW CASTLE, Jan. % City Tax Col
1ector James Vanavsdalen Is discouraged
at the fnancial condition of the tax
payers of this city and the prospects are
that New Castle will have deficit rather
than a surplus at the end of the current
year. The long suspension of work
10 this city has caused the
FULLEST fall and winter that has been
known for years. In consequences Of
this the laboring classes have gone be-
hind In their store and rent accounts.
This has placed many merchants and
landlords in straights and, had 1t not
been for the timely resumption Of oper-
atoms in all the manufacturing establish
ments here this month, there would have
been q crash.
The city collector has therefore had to
go his rounds repeatedly, only to be re-
| fused when an application was made for
taxes. He sees that his debtors are
really unable to meet their obligations TO
the city and It would be q dissgreeble
task to levy on the goods or small
property of the people here. He
/ SAYS that there are several families
here who became impoverished to such an
extent that they could not leave town to
obtain work elsewhere If they had at
tempted to move away the grocer would
have seized the contents Of their home
On this account the csty's treasury
will have to suffer. The receipts from
city taxes this year are placed on the
books at gil 900 or this SO 600 is to 60
to the Board OF Education; 1000
to pay off bonded indebtedness.
and the remaining $4,000 to the
city treasury. It is probable
that the only thing that will save the
city treasury for next year Is an appro-
pristion from theTrustees OF the Common
| from the amount that they can hold out
of the Water Com pany appropriation
