for the current year until that time,
and the treasury Of Sussex County
is depleted for months Just at time
when the money is most needed.
This is the main reason why the
County of Sussex can not pay the
board bill Of its prisoners at the
workhouse, and why the orders for
work done, are only available TO
pay taxes. Had this rebate period
been set at the first day Of June,
the county would be in funds, and
able to pay its bills promptly.
When the leaders of the parties
get to the point where their interest
is for economical expenditures Of
public money, and for the best in
terests Of the whole people, instead
Of the grabbing Of the petty cash
for personal service by self or
friends, then will a genuine reform
be brought into actual effect. Cam
paign promises have become as so
much hot air, and this applies TO
all parties as now constituted.

THE people of this part of Della.
ware are growing more sane and
moral with each passing year. One
of the most positive proofs of this
is their recreation and appreciation
Of moral conditions. Only a few
years ago when the summer gather
ings of the people at the bay shore
of Delaware came around, hundreds
and possibly thousands, gathered,
and the riotous acts Of the drink
ing and brawling set, was looked
upon as a necessary evil-oue which
the people who took no part in, and
did not approve of. but were unable
to prevent. Now this is changed.
Thousands assemble at the shore
resorts, not only on the Big Thurs
days" bat almost every Thursday
in August, and enjoy the day in
the many socials ways of gentle.
society, such as sailing, bathing,
dancing or shore dinners. 1t is
any disturbances mar these
gatherings, and these exceptional
cases are always the result Of liquor
drinking by the defendants of those
who created the nuisance of former
years. Last week thousands went
% the shore resorts on Thursday
With no attraction offered in the
way of amusements to draw them,
nd the peace and happiness was
quail to that of a Grange or a Sun

The Levy Court fSussex County
has been criticised for permitting
the County orders 10 go to pro-
test, and very properly the blame
has been laid at the door Of that
body, exactly as the Levy Court of
Kent County was blamed for per
mitting the county bonds to be
protested last spring. Both bodies
have shown lack of business abl.
ity in these particular financial
transactions, but in the case of
Sussex County there is no excuse
for the conditions which exist,
other than the lack of interest by
those who have been the advisors
Of the Levy Court to take proper
steps to have legislation made while
the legislature was in session, or
have laws enacted which would
remedy the error which was created
by the setting back of the time for
discounting taxes, by repeating
law which was passed six years
ago and applied to Sussex County
only. All this was called to the
of the Levy Court time and
again throughthe columns of the
CHRONICLE and other papers, bat
no attention was given by those
who should have been directly in
crested. As the law now stands
he people have until September to
'ay their taxes and get the FIVE
yer cent discount. This simply a
