Matter OF Delinquency.
TIE Levy Court Of New Castle county
is evidently il earnest in its desire to
secure an extension Of a $50, 600 loan,
payable ia a short time. The House,
before acting upon the bill, adopted a
resolution demanding of the Levy Court
list Of ali New Castle county taxables
owing the county $40 and more. The
committee has received the reports OF
the delinquent collectors of Pencsder and
New Castle hundreds. The delinquency
Of taxables Of the former only amounts to
about $50, while that of the latter
amounts 10 about $500 II the total
delinquency Is not sufficient to pay off
the loan, the extension asked for will
probably be allowed but II it is, the Levy
Court will be told to collect 1t and meet
its obligations.
