More Penalty on Tax DeIinquents.
After some discussion the House
passed Representative Kings bill to
add one per cent. for each month
county taxes are unpaid after jan
uary of the year in which they be-
come due
Representative Mooney opposed the
bill on the ground that it would inn
pose a penalty of twenty-four per
cent. for instance on persons who
did not or would not pay their county
taxes within two years and therefore
would prove too heavy a burden.
Julian G. Walker, counsel for the
New Castle County Levy Court, was
given the privilege of the floor and
said that While it is not a Levy Court
bill that body is in favor of it. He
explained that under the present law
five per cent. is added after January
and there is no further penalty no
matter how many months taxes are
unpaid and it really is cheaper to de-
fer payment for a year or two and
have the use of the money meantime
than to pay taxes promptly.
The vote was 20 yeas and four nays,
Representatives Cummins, Mooney,
Records and Taylor.
