Following publication of the inten-
ton of the Levy Court to acquire the
pixies in Brandywine hundred, and the
statement of increased taxes as a re-
suit of free roads comes the claim
that property In Brandywine hundred
is carrying a low assessment.
Look here" said prominent Bran
DIVINE hundred farmer today, this is
great news about free roads, but why
have so much talk about the great in
crease in taxes in Brandywine hun
dred. In 1907-0S the hundred assess
ment was $2.725,0O0 and S2,77O.OOO re-
spectively. The following year it Drop
ped over $4,000, while last year il
went up $4,000, while this year an

erty owner was paying too much tax
