company is solvent and is respon-
sible for any obligations it may
incur.

Provide Entertainment

Home" and a cordial reception
were accorded the Sons of Della
ware exiledI in Philadelphia, on the
occasion of their annual spring

Few Citizens Attend Hearing for
Suggestions as to School Code Revision
County Officials Report Progress Under New Sys
Method of Tax Collection, Length Of Term Finance and
Administration Come Under Discussion

Delaware is the wealthiest state
per capita, in the Union.
Referring to What Delaware
Makes and Spends" a recent pub
lication of the Delaware State Pro-
gram, he stated that the surplus
on hand for last year was $800,000.
The dependability of State revenue
was discussed and in the opinion,
of the speaker was sufficient to
justify an annual payment of
$547,800 principal and interest on
the bond issue if so bonds were
issued. A lower rate might be
secured, he stated, since these
bonds are free of taxation. From
sales point of view these bonds
are better than those issued by a
county, district or smaller unit.
Raising the income tax rate one
point might be resorted to, he said,
in case the state revenue from
normal sources should not be suffi-
cient to meet this. obligation.
This plan, he explained, would
not impose heavy burden upon
the small property holders, as does
the present plan which increases
local taxation so greatly.
Mr.. Scott expressed his willing
ness to answer any questions for
the Commission or the audience.

issuing bonds for the entire sum

Comparatively few residents OF
Newark and vicinity were suffi-
ciently "stirred up" about Code
revision to attend the public hear
ing held by the Code Commission
last Friday afternoon. Capt. R.
G.. Buckingham and Mr.. Arnold
Naudain, both spoke briefly; and
Mr.. McIntire of Wilmington voic-
ed objection to the 180 day school
term. County Superintendent
Jump advised a minimum term of
1SO days, and evoked a spirited
discussion on this point.
The morning session, called at
Wolf Hall at 1890 was given over
to a an address by Henry P. Scott,
vice-chairman of the Delaware
School Auxiliary Association, and
to complaints and reports from
district boards and county school
officials.
Mr.. Scott discussed school
finances. He stated that in his
opinion s10,OooO0O in addition to
the $2,5O0,O0O provided through
the generosity of Pierre S. dupont
is necessary for school construc-
tion and proper equipment within
the next five years. The state, he
declared, is amply able to provide
this sum through a bond issue ex-
tending over a period of SO years
The statement has been made on
reliable authority, he said, that
