the earnest workers will be retained

This yard has reputation Of being
one OF the best in the country, but this
could not save us from losing those

1896, and has always been noted for the
quality OF its ships. Since the war.

done by most OF the men than ever be-

IL is understood that the local shin

The yard has employed as many as a.

cial who made the foregoing statements

would be less busy than in the dullest

being that the company has lost CON

there is not a single contract in sight.
A very short time ago we lost contracts
for two 1000 ton tankers because we
could not submit low price and not
lose money. We figured so as 10 break

men might stay at work and so bridge
the gap but even this was too high.
The contracts for these ships went to
foreign concerns
When asked IL the conditions at Har-

OF other eastern yards. the official said
'Yes, they are a little worse. The at

the men here walk around doing moth

realize that It's not only the company
they're cheating. They are also iniur-

the payrolls and make the price OF pro-

p S. du Pont Explains
Increase in School Tax

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal,
Sir: A letter signed George A. Ia
ley. appearing in the Morning News
OF September IS. 1919. contains the fol
owing paragraph:
THE writer has paid a school tax
on a rough farm Of 36 acres for this
year OF 500 less the premium for
early payment. Last year the school
tax was $3.50 on the high valuation
assessment. The school tax for the
year 1916 ION the rental value u
and) on The above farm was 5000.
After this taxation took a sudden
leap. and this year the school and
county taxes on this small farm ag-
eregate the total Of S223.50. Sub
stantially the whole net rental from

From Mr. Talley's figures the 36 acres
in question must be valued at si6.300,
on this amount an assessment Of l6
cent rate that Of New Castle county
gives a tax Of S75, this less 5 per cent.
premium for early payment leaves
500 the net tax mentioned by him. It
is evident that the tax formerly paid
BY him. $3.50, was al ~ cent rate.
Can Mr. Talley fairly complain Of his
increased taxation?
Under the old school law eleven out
or eighteen colored districts in Sussex
county paid more than a &c cent rate
In New Castle county. under the old
law, five out OF ten cOlored districts
paid more than a &C cent rate and none
Of them paid lower than 90 cents. The
average rate for colored schools OF the
State in i9is-i9i9 was AZ cents. Nearby
townships in Chester county, Pennsyl-
Nania, now pay as follows:
PennsDury .....s..-....... 30 cents
East Marlborough ........45 cents
pocopson ...............75 cents
kennett Township ...... .55 cents
Rough farms in Chester county can
be purchased at 500 an acre. possibly
less. Good farms can be purchased for
5000 an acre. Mr.. Talley's thirty-six
acres, assessed at Si6,3O0 have been ap-
praised at si53 per acre. This value is
Too high for a rough farm" and should
be reduced. Excessive assessment is

the provision OF the New Code with
respect to taxation. Under the forme.
law the general powers OF the State
/ Board OF Education were nearly iden-
teal with those OF the existing board
Under both systems the local school
districts or boards furnished the esti-
mate OF their school needs. Under the
old system the necessary tax levy TO
furnish these needs was made by the
local committee: IL Is now made by the
Levy Court Of the county, after the es-
Inmates OF all local districts have been
brought together by the County Boards
OF Education. The Levy Court has no
power TO change the amount estimated
necessary by the local and county su-
thOritles. The School Budgets for the
year i9i9-i920 were based upon the
opinions OF the old school committees
and are nearly the same as probable
needs OF the schols would have been
if the old school law had continued
IN force. 10 is true however. that old
debts. accumulated under the former
law through failure to raise taxes for
their liquidation, appear in the new
budgets. but this cannot be held the
fault OF the new Code. The only
items Of expense that were added by
the new Code are those covering tut
ton and transportation OF pupils and
school supplies. The latter. excepting
text books, were furnished by the
pupils under the old law. Under the
new law they are furnished by the
county and the tax assessment Is in !
