TOCOLLECT TAX
Action Against Delinquents
Will be Started Next

SOLICITOR WORKS
OUT HIS PLAN

No action toward the collection OF
delinquent city taxes will be taken
until the first Of September. Il was
announced this morning by City
Reuben satterthwaite. Jr.
Explaining this decision, Mr.. Sat
terthwaite said the city tax collec-
tors will not post receipts from col
lections this year until about Au-
gust 20. The collectors have an al
most overwhelming amount Of bills
paid by mail yet to clean up.
As TO how far the city will go TO
collect delinquent taxes, Mr.. Sat
terthwaite was unable to say. A
great many taxpayers. he pointed
out. will pay their taxes when their
delinquency is brought to their at
tention. Against others who do not
or cannot pay their taxes, judgments
may be obtained and collected
whenever the property Is sold. The
city solicitor was unable to say
whether the city would want to "a
so far as TO sell properties OF delln-
quent taxpayers over their heads
after judgments had been obtained
against them.
The delinquent lists OF last year
and OF the year previous, on which
a special delinquent tax collector
was employed by City Solicitor Hux-
ley. will have to be revised before
action against these delinquents is
started.

TOCITY SCHOOLS
Wilmington's Share of Two
Million Fund Voted by
Legislature
I'm A HOLE" SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS SAY

wilmington's public school sys-
tenn faces a serious deficit In appro-
priations as result OF the conflict
OF the new school law. and the re-
duction OF the estimates provided by
the new seven-member Board OF
Education
Under the new school law the city
is to receive S751.622.09 from the
State. according TO figures just re-
ceived from the State Board OF Edu-
cation. Last year the city received
S292.757.76 from the State. City
Council appropriated S6s6.6s0. Last
year the Board received s929.437
from Council and the State. This
year the combined State and city APP
preparation Is s951.622.
According TO members Of the City
Board OF Education. the sum appro-
priated by the State this year will
leave the board shy just about the
amount which was Topped on by
City Council from their original
budget. This budget called for
S395.o00. but was cut down to $780,
600 Hat
The cut was the largest made In
any Of the appropriations asked for
by the various city departments.
Members OF the board said today
that Il was up to City Council to re-
store the amount asked for in the
budget, otherwise the schools OF
Wilmington would begin the year OF
1922 'in "A hole"
Attention was directed to the pro-
vision in the new school law giving
authority TO city Council at its dis
erection. 10 issue bonds TO the extent
OF one-haif OF per cent. Of the total
assessed value Of city property,
amounting TO s114.OOO.OO0.
Under this provision. Council may
be able TO financially assist the
board. not alone in making up the
deficit the board claims II faces. but
in providing funds for the rehabilita-
tion Of the school plant OF the city.
