Mustard Objects To Road Supervisors.
The following resolution was Of
fered by Mr.. Mustard, the minority
member, but it was not acted upon. !
1t read as follows:
WHEREAS, persuant to the laws of 1
Delaware, the County Engineer has 4
appointed the road supervisors for the
year 1918, and has reported his said /
appointments to the Levy Court, and, /
WHEREAS, the said appointments |
are political and partisan, all of said |
appointments being democrats except |
one, and
WHEREAS, the present Levy Court
Commissioners were elected upon a
distinct public promise and pledges to
conduct the affairs of this county
upon a non-partisan basis, therefore
be it
RESOLVED by the Levy Court that
it disapproves the action of the COun-
ty Engineer; that it regards it as con-
Trajectory of the expressed will of the
people of Sussex County and opposed
to their interests as citizens and tax
payers, and, be it further
RESOLVED, to express the disap-
proval of this Levy Court, which has
in mind the true principals of County
that the said County En-
gineer be requested to recall his said
appointments, and in conformity with
the pledges upon which the Levy
Court was elected, to appoint as road
supervisors properly qualified per-
sons without regard to faction or poll
tics
This was not seconded and there
fore no action was taken.
Immediately the majority came
back with a resolution which was Of
fered by Vallient and seconded by
Holloway which demanded the names
Of those men who Mr.. Mustard con-
sidered mo good" stating their pur-
pose to be a basis for asking the en-
gineer to give information as to their
for the jobs.
A resolution was then adopted by
The votes of Vallient and Holloway,
which directed the County Engineer
to report at the meeting on February
5th, next Tuesday, to explain fully to
The Levy Court the motives govern
ing him in selecting the supervisors
appointed by him.
The Clerk-of- -the-Peace was dir
ected to get bids for printing $500
envelopes, 1000 letter heads for Re
ceiver of Taxes, and 500 Sunday
School report blanks.
A bill from Detective Elijah Lynch
was considered, and the part for mile
age, s40O, was ordered paid. and the
service" charge of $3.50 was turned
down.
Holloway split away from Vallient
and voted with Mustard over correct
ing an error which was made in print
ng envelopes for the Receiver of
Taxes. 25,000 envelopes were printed
from the usual custom of the
office, and the Receiver Of Taxes OBJ
iected to this for purely business rea-
sons, so the work will have to be done
over. The Levy Court adjourned un-
III next Tuesday.
