tary.
There were no speeches made
but the citizens collectively express
ed themselves against the Levy
Court, the Street and Sewer De.
partment~ and the City Government
in general. The meeting closed
with the following adopted resolu.
tIons:
Whereas, The citizens o. vii.
mington and New Castle county are
now burdeued by an oppressive
rate of taxation occasoned by the
reckless extravaganza Of the Levy
Court and Street and Sewer De.
partment; aud
Whereas, The public funds
have been wantonly squandered
and wasted in constructing the
Augustine roadway aud Brandy.
wine bridge, which works have
been undertaken more the purpose
Of tavorlng certain contractors and
jobbers than from a real spirit Of
improvement, aud
Whereas, Thousands OF dollars
have been recklesslv spent on
maintaining the New Castle caus-
way, afIording an opportunity for
excessive charges for hauling while
the streets in the more populous
sections OF our city have been per.
mltted to remain in wretched con
dition; and
Whereas, We have witnessed
the tremendous increase OF thirty.
three and one-lhird per cent. in our
tax rate without any correspond
ing benefit IN public improveme
aud therefore be it.
Resolved, Bv the citizens Of the
Eleventh ward that the Levy Court
Of New Castle County, bv reason of
its protliga!c waists OF public money
has forfeited the confidence OF our
Legislature take appropriate steps
to rid the community OF this SER
ious evil.
we dcnounee the servility OF the
county comptroller who. neslectins
the powers Of his Office, had placed
his approval on billsplalniy waste
full and cxtravasant and has made
himself party TO the schemes to
waste the public funds.
While we believe that party men
should at all times labor for the
prosperity Of their political parts,
we recognize that times occur when
citizens, and we demand that the
the interests OF the people rise SUI
perior to fealty 10 party and we
urge our legislators unmlDdlul OF
politics, to cooperate, so that by
united effort Il ust and adequate
system Of county and municipal
government may be formulated and
applied. and that public funds col
lected by moderate taxation NAV
be expended by honest officials, with
just regard for therights and the
interests Of the people.
We take the pleasure in aliiliat.
ing with the recently.organizei
citizens committee in the laudabic |
work they have undertaken, and
promise our hearty support to
bring that object to a successful |
issue.
