LEVY COURT, TOO,
.WANTSLEGISLATION
One Proposed Bill will Pro-
vide for appointment Of
Assessors by Court

Members Of the Levy Court yesterday
afternoon held .engthiy conference at
which the members decided upon num-
Der Of important matters which the Leg
islature will be asked to pass.
Direction was given TO William E.
\ Jones, Jr.. the court attorney. TO pre-
pare an act in relation to the appoint
I ment OF assessors under the terms OF
which these officials win be appointed by
the Levy Court instead Of by the people.
so that the Levy Court may have juris-
diction over them.
The act will provide that Wilmington
/ Hundred, shall be divided into two
assessment districts instead of five as at
! present and appoint two assessors. one
for each district. Market street to be
the dividing line There shall also be
an assessment clerk on duty all the
time In the rural districts assessors are
to be paid a certain sum for each per-
son assessed and a salary will be paid
the assessor Of Wilmington Hundred.
A bill will also be drafted abolishing
the present law which requires the Clerk
OF the Peace to make first copies Of the
4 assessments and an Office copy. These
I records are unnecessary. the commission
ers think. since the original books con-
tain all the data necessary.
The members oppose the bill now be-
fore the Legislature which provides for
the abolition OF the office of deputy
coronrr and which also requires the
Levy Court to erect a county morgue.
and name morgue superintendent
within certain time. A resolution was
passed directing the appointment Of a
special committee which, with the at
torney for the court, was directed to
appear before the Legislature and op-
pose the bill
A resolution was passed requesting the
speakers Of both branches of the Gem
eral Assembly TO notify the Levy Court
whenever notice Is given OF any bill
which would affect the finances Of this
county. The court was directed 10 pro-
cure from the Secretary of the state
certified copies Of any laws which in
any way affected any Office Of this coun-
~ or the Levy Court.
A resolution was passed directing the
attorney for the court to draft a bill
which should provide for the collection
by the sheriff OF the dollarage fees
which were abolished by the General
Assembly at its last session This fee
was one Of three cents on each dallar
of the sale value of real and personal
property sold by the sheriff ana until its
removal from the statistics WIS the
source OF much revenue to the sheriff
who at that time received all the fees
of his office In lieu Of salary
Another bill 10 be drawn provides for
the collection Of county taxes. II win
abolish Chapter IS, Of Volume 20. Laws
OF Delaware. and amend Chapter 60, Vol
umc "a Il will provide that upon all
