Correspondence OF the Republican.
NEW CASTLE, Jan. s.-The people OF
this city were much stirred up by a
correspondence letter in the Sunday
Star and associated dispatches In
several other papers, announcing that
Now Castle was In a bad financial con-
dition. Il IL not q fact that the police
are unpaid.
It is a fact that 5000 was paid to tho
Road Commissioners last week. Now
such reports do not do any good to
the city or to the party who sends II
out. il the editor OF one OF the papers
spent his money which he spends fof
marketing here instead OF going t.
Wilmington, 1t would DO better foi
the city. II last years taxes were
paid by one Of the correspondents the
city would have more money. The
city has nothing to do with ths
school fund. II the collector. collects
the taxes. then the treasurer receives
i as 50 much for city and 60. mucf
for school tax. But It Is not fair tt
ask the city to pay 10 the Board O
Education money which is not col
leeted.
This year ia no exception. Hereto
fore the gas bill was paid quarterly
now 1t is monthly. and when May, 1885,
comes along the city treasury will
have balance on hand and all bill
will be paid. II you cannot tell tht
truth about the city then for goodness
sake gentlemen for the sake Of q few
cents do not send out lying reports.
