TWENTY CENTS INCREASE

The Levy Court Of New Castle
County bowed to the inevitable
on Tuesday when it raised the
tax ratefor county purposes from
fifty to seventy cents, making
the total rate eighty cents on
each one hundred dollars, ten
cents being for poor rates. Ap-
preparations were made for the
ensuing fiscal year. The in
creases were in the amounts
which the commissioners are
supposed to expend in the sew
eral districts. When the tax
payer pays his bill he can rest
secure in the fact that on every
one thousand dollars Of assessed
valuation, he is paying two dol
lars extra in taxes to meet the
deficiency caused by former jobs.
