The Levy Court Vt Now Castle county,

the fiscal year beginning to-day at GO
cents on the slo0, an increase OF 10 cents
on the 500 over the existing rate.
But in fixing tho tax rate before
making the appropriations. the Levy
Court practically put the cart before

much money by taxation and-to spend
it, The better rlan would have been

\ of less than 60 cents ON tho Sl00 would

one-made by tha Levy Court was Il

has a scheme which he formulated into

OF the government, the Secretary of the
Treasury 10 directed for each month
tho expenditures Of the government: are
greater than the receipts to deduct and
retain in the Treasury from each salary
in excess of 500 per month, 20 per
cent thereof, and from each salary
under said amount 10 per cent thereof.
II furthor provides that in no case
shall tho amount so deducted be repaid
unless at the end of tho fiscal year the
receipts for the year have exceeded the
expenditures The President and iuB
