OVER TAXES
GROWS WARM
Finance Chairman Says Col
leCtOrS Want Votes Rather
Than Money
LATTER RETORT THEY
ARE DOING THEIR DUTY

W p. Stover. chairman Of tho
Finance Committee Of Council, and
the tax collectors are still at IT, ham
mer and tongs Tho former charges
the tax collectors with failure to col
lect the taxes as they should, maxi
ing the claim that the collectors are
100000 behind the estimate OF re-
ceipts made by the members Of the
Finance Committee al the beginning
of the fiscal year This the tax coli
lectors deny and make the counter
claim that they are now within SIS
600 OF the amount upon which Coun-
Gil based its estimate when making
up the budget for the present fiscal
year. This amount, they say, will be
in hand within ten days and after
that for two months they will collect
taxes over and above the expected
revenue anticipated by Council.
Colonel Stover claims there is out
standing in taxes S275.000 and
against this sum the tax collectors
last week collected a little more
than $500 The week before some
thing like 500 was collected He
charges that the collectors who are
again candidates for reelection as
tax collectors are unwilling to push
delinquents, fearing they will suffer
at the polls in consequence.
The tax collectors say this Is not
true They show that the finance
committee Of Council had estimated
receipts from taxes for the present
fiscal year of SS37 ,S672O. For rebates,
$4,000 was allowed They say that up
to the present time. taxes have been
collected In the southern district ag-
gregating S2S2. 2.954.26, while In the
northern district. s536.26516 was col
lected, making a total of SSl9,219 a..
In the southern district rebates were
allowed amounting TO S12 S1492. and
IN the northern district. S23. .70S SO,
making a total of S36,523.7S. Deduct
ing these rebates from the collections
and then the result from the estimate
of the tax Office receipts the remain.
der will show that the tax Office Is
within S1S.647.S7 of the total estimate,

The differences between the financ
chairman Of Council and the tax col
lcctors grows out of the knowledg
that there is going 70 be a deficit a

CONGRESSMAN
BROCKSON RAISES
POINT FOR PORT

Congressman Franklin Brockson
today stated that he considers that
the order directing the consolidation
OF the port of Wilmington with the
port of Philadelphia is clearly a dis
elimination against the local port,
and that the consolidation OF these
two ports would be a great inius-
tice to the State of Delaware.
He holds, that such a consolidation
would be a violation of the rights
guaranteed 10 the States by the Fed
eral Constitution. which provides
that.
"No preference shall be given by
any regulation Of commerce or rev
enue to the ports of one State over
those of another; nor shall vessels
bound to, or from one State, be
Obliged to enter, clear, or pay duties
In another"
Mr.. Blockson says that he will do
all within his power to prevent the
abolishment Of the port at Whining
ton.
