WE in Delaware do not appreciate
our good fortunes, as we should,
and a comparison of our conditions
with those of our neighbor, is calcu-
lated to make us thank God that we
live in Delaware, instead of other
places. The American Union, of
Denton, Maryland, tells of cOndi-
ton as to the taxes of its county
as follows
County Treasurer Nuttle gives
notice to taxpayers that the levy
has been made for 1907. The State
tax is 6 cents and the county tax
S1.os on the 500. All taxes are
due and payable on September I,
with declining discount scale from
5 per cent for prompt payment up
to January I. On and after that
date interest will be charged on all
paid taxes from September l until
paid"
Here in Delaware we have no
State tax, and our county tax IS
but fifty-fve cents on the hundred
dollars but, we must add the school
tax to this, and taking as on aver
age for rural schools, the sum OF
forty cents on rental value of real
estate, and assessed value of the per
sonal, our total taxes are less than
our neighbor in Maryland by fully
one third. We have as good schools,
better roads, and as good bridges as
our friends, and all for less money.
Delaware is about as near heaven
as the average human being can get
on this earth, for comfort, pleasure
and peace of mind.
