The press of Wilmington is crticising
the financial management Of the New Castle
County Levy Court as shown by the reports
of the special commissioners to audit the
countys finances. The papers take excep-
tion to the frequency of certain names in
whose favor warrants have been drawn
George W. Phillips, the partner Of Levy
Court Commissioner Lynn, has received
about two warrants every week for sums
ranging from 500 to $40, and aggregating
in all about $4,000, for the past year. All
these warrants are charged to the repairs
account, but what repairs were made are
not specified. The mysterious William
Moore, who figured in last years's report,
also appears again, and apparently received
over 81 600, which was charged to repairs
and to causeways and bridges. Possibly
more interest centres around the account OF
Mayor Evan ]. Boyd, Of New Castle. In
speaking of it the Every Evening says:
"Mayor Boyd, of New Castle, also figures
to the extent Of having received 1888. 90.
In addition, he has pending bill for about
$500 for committing COOS tramps to New
Castle Jail, which bill he cut down from
$1,000 on objection being raised to the
original claim. From these figures it will
appear that the Office of Mayor Of the little
city of New Castle, with its fixed salary of
$50 per annum, is mighty profitable job
to hold"
