the loss of Colonel Murray, who

More Good Work by the County
F Op1Dtroliar af

More Good Work by the Count,
Comptroller.
Tuesday afternoon County Conn.
troller Kelley sent another veto messing,
TO the Levy Court withholding his an.
proval from certain hills which he be
lieyed had been contracted without
regard to the provisions OF law. Leyy
Court Commissioner Chandler supple.
mented the comptroller's veto of one
eill--whioh. the comptroller pointed
ont was in excess of $500, while bids
for the work had not been asked for =
by making the contention that while
the charge was for 40 tons Of coal,
much less than that quantity, in his
opinion, had been actually supplied.
The bill, together with the others held
up by the county comptroller, was re-
ferred for investigation.
The Taxpayers OF the county will
thank Comptroller Kelley for the close
investigation he Is now making Of all
claims submitted to the Levy Court.
Since he has adopted this system he
has held up several claims, and has
thereby called attention to some very
suspicious circumstances in connection
with charges against the county. Tn
one OF the cases mentioned in his mes
sage OF yesterday, wherein the charge
IL made that the contractor failed 10
furnish what he charged fol, the CONN.
troller may be called on to conduct an
investigation. in which work the law
clothes him with power to summon and
compel the attendance Of witnesses, 10
compel the production of boofs and
papers, and to administer oaths or
atirmations. In this manner he will
be enabled to arrive at the very truth
of the matter.
1t is true that the Levy Court has
the power to oyorrule the objections CT
the county comptroller, and may do go
right along, by majority vote, but
this should not deter the oomptroller in
the performances Of his full official dury.
Inc law expects from the Office of
county comptroller rigid examination
OF all Claims against the county, and a
Withholding of Official approval from
such claims as do not meet all the re.
quirements of the law. The office was
created as a safeguard of the county
treasury and as means OF prevent
ing unwsrranted expenditures Of the
peoples money without the people
being informed tbereof
The county comptroller is on The
right tack. Let him continue his good
work so long as he secs the slightest
opportunity for the exercise of his veto
power.

Levy Court Decides That Religious Pay
Schools Arc Not Exempt.
The matter uf exempting certain
schools owned by religious societies
from taxation was brought to the at.
tention OF the Levy Court early In the
spring, the point icing whether the
law contemplated taxing religious
schools charging a tuition fee. The
matter was referred TO Horace g.
knowles, attorney for the court, who
gave the following opinion Tuesday:
10 the President and Members of the
Levy Court-Gentlemen beg leave 10 sub
mit the following as my opinion in reply to
your question appertaining to the law OK.
empting property belonging TO religious
societies or corporations from taxation;
Section ], chapter 10, Vol. XIV, Laws OF
Delnware, provides that real and personal
properly belonging to a church, religious
society or corporation for charitable uses
shall DO exempt from taxation and ASSESS
ment Tor public purposes. This law Is very
pIoau ~ It's scope, and any property actually
belonging TO ana used by church. religious
society or corporation for charitable pur-
poses Is undoubtedly free and exempt from
taAaton. This exemption does not apply to
property or properties owned by amy such
chnrch, religious society or corporation for
Iellgious or charitable purposes not actually
used by them for religious charitable pur-
poses, but held and owned as investments.
After the opinion had been read Mr..
Knowles made a few remarks 10 which
he further elucidated his opinion. He
concluded by expressing the belief that
the law does not contemplate the OK.
emption OF property owned by religious
and charitable societies which are not
actually used for religious or charitable
purposes He drafted the following
resolution, which was present ted byy
