TAX RATE FOR
SUSSEX 65 CENTS
School Rate TO Be Fixed
AT A Later
Date

Levy Court Commissioners of Sus-
sex county have fixed the tax rate
for the fiscal year at IS cents or the
one hundred dollars of assessed val
uation. In order to take care of the
bonded indebtedness for the improv-
ed road program about 1900 less
will be appropriated for earth roads
construction than last year. In con-
sidering the levy, it was the opinion
of the commissioners that rates
should be higher, but because 'of the
increased taxation due to the oper-
tion of the new School Code, it was
deemed advisable to continue the
rate.
1t will be impossible for the COM
missioners to fix the tax rate for the
schools until it is ascertained what
action is taken by the commission of
the Legislature now at work on
revising the code. As soon as this
work is done the, tax rate for school
in Sussex county will be fixed by the
commissioners.

ARREST MADE IN
SUSPECTED KIDNAPPING
George Simmons. Of SeafOrd, Held
In Bail

State Detective Lynch, of George
town and Constable Frank p. Daw-
son, last Friday arrested George
Simmons in connection with the
attempt to forcibly enter the home
of Mrs, Clarance Donoho, several
nights ago and Simmons. a painter.
came here from Baltimore, oc-
cupied small farm belonging to
Mrs. Donoho. Last summer while
doing some work for Mrs. Donoho
he showed her private detectives
badge, and on Tuesday morning,
after the attempt to enter Mrs.
Donoho's house, a similar badge was
found in the yard. Footprints also
corresponded with Simmons.
At the hearing before Magistrate
James K. Phillips, Simmon and his
wife both acknowledged that the
badge was similar to the one he
owned, but he denied knowing any
thing about the affair. Magistrate
Phillips committed him to the
Georgetown Jail in default of $500
bail. At the time of the incident
much excitement prevailed as it
was the general opinion that an at
tempt was being made to kidnap
little Marie Valiant. five year
old daughter of Mrs. Nellie
Scott Valiant, niece of Mrs. Dom
Ohio, the latter being divorced from
her husband, with custody of the
child.
