asked, for the men in France are not
only giving their time, their worldly

Newark-Elkton Road
Being Surveyed

Following the action of the State
Highway Commission in agreeing
to assist in the work of the Lin
coin Highway, the New Castle
County Levy Court accepted the
offer of the State Highway Com

Deed Presented To
Clubhouse Corporation
Other Important Business Trans
acted

AT meeting of the directors of
the New Century Clubhouse Cor
poration held on July 10th, the
papers conveying to the corpora
tion the lot on which the club
house stands were formally pre-
sented. The lot as specified in the
deed is 80 feet front by 227 feet
on one side and 223 feet on the
other. 1t is the gift of Mrs. S. J.
Wright, member of the Club.
The directors are much pleased
with the generous proportions of
the lot which forms a fine setting
for the building. The mortgage
was drawn up at the meeting and
other business transacted. The
building has been thoroughly in
spected by Mr.. S. J. Wright, who
has assisted the directors both
financially and with his advice in
construction matters. A number
of minor changes in the building
have been suggested.
Since the discontinuance of club
meetings in May, for the summer
months, a number of improve
ments may be noted by the visitor.
The windows have been fitted with
the Chamberlain metal weather
stripping and the building COM
pletely screened. The town has
laid the curb in front of the build
ing and the concrete walks will be
laid during the summer.
The directors of the company
have received during the year a
number of contributions from
friends of the club, and have
greatly appreciated the good will
and assistanve. Now that the
property stands in the name of the
New Century Clubhouse Corpora
tion and is on a BUSINESS basis,
club members hope that others
will feel disposed to helm them re-
duce the debt. Anyone desiring to
assist the club should communi-
cate with Mrs. j. Pearce Cam,
treasurer Of the corporation.

Tax Rate Fixed
By School Board
Interesting Reports Read at
Meeting

Questions relative to the assess
ment recently completed by Fir
man Thompson, under the new
law basing the amount upon the
real rather than the rental value
of property, occupied the Board of
Education, at the meeting held last
Monday evening. According to
the new law the local assessor has
nothing whatever to do with fix
ing the value of the assessment,
which is taken from the county
assessment list. The assessed
value of real estate in the consol-
idated districts represented by the
Newark school, the new lists re-
vealed last night, totals S1,723, ,2SO;
personal property is valued at S21,
725 The total number assessed
is 95S and the poll taxables 795.
Automobiles were specifically ex-
empted by the Legislature from
the school tax. The rate was fix
ed at $3.50 on the $1OO of assessed
valuation. MANY radical changes
will be made in the working out
of the assessment under the new
law" Secretary Hoffecker said,
sMhen discussing the situation to-
ssiay. People owning small prop
terties will find their tax cheaper;
/ those with larger properties, two
or two and one half times greater.
: | have in mind one woman whose
property is assessed at $500, max
ing her tax $3.50 this year. Prev
iously, based upon the rental value
of the dwelling, the tax was
$1,000. Again the tax on several
of the larger properties of the
town has more than doubled. The
local Board, however, has control
over none of these changes, with
the exception of the poll tax, which
has been fixed at $3.50. H. Hof-
fecker, treasurer of the Board, re-
ported the close of the school year,
with no money borrowed, and a
balance on hand of S871.06. This
amount will be placed in the sink
ing fund, toward the payment of
the debt on the grammar school
building, which is payable in 1925
