According TO notices published 10.
day all taxes not paid and due will
be collected by law.
City Council has been short Of
funds for some time and the colec-
tors have been trying to help that
body by collecting the money now
due the city, but they have not
made the progress desired. They
have been lenlent so far with de.
linquents but the matter has now
reached a point where the city
must have money and there is moth
ing lett to be done but to collect by
law.
If the money outstanding can be
collected the amount which the city
will have to borrow, 10 make up the
deficit al the end Of the year, will
be considerably reduced.

FRIDAY. MARCH I. 1901


and in the measures passed thus
far we see little to give encourage.
ment to the already overburdened
tax payers of Wilmington. In fact,
the city fathers have announced
that the taxes on real estate will
be increased.
Early in the session the new
charter bill, prepared by the Board
OF Trade, and offered by that body
as q measure intended to simplify
and reduce the cost Of running the
city, as introduced 10 both Houses.
This bill gave some promise OF re-
LEI, but, after weeks OF delay, there
is still no mention of the bill, and
its most sanguine promoters can
scarcely expect that it will pass.
Somebody has Numbered. 1t is
not our province to say who. The
Senatorial fiasto has been distract.
ing, but not sufficiently so to take
attention entirely from The needs of
Wilmington. Representative men
Of both parties were sent to Dover
to look after the welfare of the peo.
pie, and the people have right to
complain. as they are complaining,
that their interests have not been
looked after as they should have
been.
Will some one. in behalf of the
wise men at Dover, explain why the
charter bill has not even been con-
sidered by the General Assembly?
Will some one inform the general
public why the offer of the Board
of Trade committee to allow the
people to vote on the charter has
not been accepted? Have we reach.
ed the point in local government
where nothing remains for the PEG.
pie except the inevitable tax bill
and a coffin!
Much is said OF tine necessity OF
political parties and OF the super.
iority of one party over the other.
We have always believed and we
still believe that the best party for
the people is the grand old Repub-
lican party. But there is danger
that the people may lose faith in
their party and its leaders, if the
burdens OF government grow heav.
ier and heavier.
There are many owners of real
estate in this city who are unable
to pay their tax bills without STINT
ing themselves, and in not a few
eases it IS a positive hardship to
