STAFF Correspondent.


STATE HOUSE. Dover. Del, Feb. a.
Incensed over the introduction OF the
so-called Kent County Levy Court "rip-
per" bills, the proposed voters assistant
law and the bill to repeal the corrupt
practices act, every Democratic member
Of the Senate and House In caucus YES
terday afternoon signed a statement
agreeing 10 oppose every appropriation
bill until the referred 10 bills are with
drawn. The statement which was
signed by all the Democrats and made
public following the caucus. follows:
I'VE, the Democratic members OF the
Senate and House do most seriously
protest against the passage Of Senate
Bills Nos. 100, i40, i4i, i53 and 1875.
as they are the most drastic measures
that were ever presented by a member
OF the General Assembly. Since the
Kent County affairs have been tn con-

only paid all Of its obligations without
increased taxation. but has paid an in

TO equal in such a short space Of time.
I'VE agree that II said Senate bills are

chairman, reported favorably the vot-

Just what the Democratic members
hope TO gain by refusing to vote for
