,oands on the treasury, and the action (
was suDported by the Democratic mem
hers. In fact. the resolution could not
have passed without the support OF the
Democrats, for as the Call" says,
commissioner Cowgirl was absent |
from the last meeting of the court, the
Democrats having a majority"
We do no, criticise the action Of the
court in borro wing this amount, for 1t
is far better for the county TO meet its
obligations in this way than 10 allow
its orders to be hawked about as is the
custom in Sussex county.
The true cause, why the treasury
of Kent county is temporarily EN-
barrassed, is, because the Demo
cratic tax collectors are away be-
hind, and owe the county thous-
ands of dollars. On this subject
the Sentinel says:
But what is the reason for the funds
of the county treasury to be so depie-
ted? 1t cannot be the result of the
contracts for bridges, etc, for those
contracts have not been completed and
the orders have not issued, and the
"Calrp admits that no large bills have
been paid. The reason is, and the
"Calr' is cautious to make no mention
, of the fact, that there is yet due from
the Democratic tax collectors to the
county about 81 600, and has been due
$ siuce last February. This is the true
cause of the cOunty's affairs and no
the cause ascribed by the Call II
some instances the collectors have no
? collected the taxes, and in some other
the collectors have proven defaulter
and it now rests with the court to max
the amount out of the collectors sure
+ ties.
) AS to the Bombay Hook road, W
4 admit it has been a source Of great eN
pense to the county, but since 1t Is az
knowledged to be county thorough
fare it is the duty of the county to kee
u it in repair until an act Of legislatul
il shall abandon it. This road is Of L
y, more benefit to Republicans than 1t
10 to Democrats, and the improvement
to to it were advocated by Democrats al
Republicans alike A family by Il
~ name of Lane is, as we understand. i
Mt terested in the road and advocated
81 improvement. They are Democrat

fl ters Apart from this. we are told
n good authority, that the court was una
ok imous in advocating the imprOveme
ne of this road, and the Leipsic brid
