pointed. This was recognized by the
Levy Court of Kent County and au-
thority was given to procure such help
if available. A member of the Sussex
County Board of Assessment, Mr..
Gibson, who is especially qualified to
assist in making the installation for
Kent county, has been procured for
the next month to start the work and
advise as to the most rapid and acur-
ate methods of doing the work under
the law-which is very similar to that
now operating in Sussex county. Af-
ter the returns are made to the ques-
tionaires sent to the taxables of Kent
county by the Board of Assessment,
there is a very important and tedious
work of adjustment to be performed.
at will probably require on eor.two
years." says the Milford Chronicle, "to
get the assessment for the county
worked out to a basis of equal fairness
to all the people. Some property will
have to be raised from the return
made, while others will have to be as
sessed outright by the Board of AS
sessment, regardless of the returns
made by the property owner-this lat
ter instance will occur only where the
return is manifestly unfair. The law
requires that all property shall be re-
turned at the real value, or a value il
would bring in the public market. The
new board will find that there will be
hundreds of cases in all parts of the
county, where the taxables will at
tempt to undervalue their vroperty
and escape payment of their share ot
the taxes; but this condition they viii
have under their own control. 1t is ;
large job which requires much tim'
and personal effort on the part of th'
members of the assessment board t.
work out an assessment which will b.
fair and equitable. The tax rate on
ibasis of real values should be mucl
lower than under the old system"

LEVY COURT ouEsTIoNAIREs.
Were Sent Out By Board of Assess
ment Yesterday to Be Filled Out

Every. man over the age of twenty
one years in this county will receive
a QUESTIONABLE wl.----- --4e next few
days from the board of assessment.
The First district, including Smyrna,
received theirs this morning. Allper-
sons owning real estate or personal
property in more than one represen-
tative district can secure extra blanks
from the Board of Assessors upon al
plication. The capitation should be
listed in the representative dis
trict in which the person resides.
Under a recent runng of the Attor-
ney-General, women are exempted
from paying capitation tax. AS soon
as this questionable is received, It.
should be filled out Immediately and
sent by return mail to the board OF
assessment. The QUESTIONABLE is self
explanatory. Spaces are provided fol
the listing of the real and personal
property. If the person does not own
any property, he will find on the face
of the blank a space for capitation tax
and school tax. By marking an (X)
in the sppace opposite capitation tax
and filling in the name of his school
district, his questionable will be COM
plete except for the certificate which
will have to be signed by all who re-
ceive blanks.
Under the heading of real estate,
the location of the property together

and the name and number of the rep
resentative and election district VIII be
given in the first spaces. The next
space will be used for the names OF
the adjoining land holders, The total
number of acres in the farm will be
placed in the first space under the
heading "Farm-land." The following
spaces will be used for the number oi
acres of tillable-land and their value
the number of acres of woodland an
their value, the number of acres Of

The buildings will be described sep
arately under the heading of 'Im
provements." The total value of al
real estate will be placed in the col
umn provided for that purpose. I'm

WHIPPING POST FOR BANDITS

are in favor of bill that has been

Representative Frank Hall Davis
abolishing the practice of removing
prisoners from Sussex and Kent .coun-
ties to the New Castle County Work
house to be fiogged. In view of the
crime wave that seems to,b be sweeping
the southern part of Delaware, the
people believe that the old time public
whippings at the county seats would
serve as a deterrent to crime.

With the prospect of a new and

State Highway (duPont) Boulevard
right through town limits; and a mod

ing picture theatre, Smyrna with its
municipal improvement salready sec

newed growth and influence. Then if
the Flax industry proves a success il
means a still greater growth and de-
ivelopment. A great era of prosperity
we hope is coming Smyrna's way.

1t is to be hoped Smyrna Town
Council might be able this year to re-
surface with tarvia, South street and
Mt. Vernon street. These two streets
are going to pieces from neglect but
with the expense of the new light
plant and work on Commerce street,
Council. has been unable to give South
street and Mt. Vernon street the at
tention it needs. Along with these
above named streets many would like
to see Frazier street and Union street

Thomas H. Chambers, president of
the fredericksburg branch of the East
ern Shore Trust Company, president
of the fredericksburg, Nd, Town Com
missioners, director of the Eastern
Shore Gas and Electric Company,
searcher of data and advisor in nearly
every movement affecting the public
of his locality is optimistic as to the
future of business conditions and
farming interests. His optimism re-
garding the farming implements of
the Eastern Shore is just as pertinent
to Delaware, for the whole Delmarvia
Peninsula. is alike in many conditions.
He said in part:
81 am optimistic. believe that
good times are sure to come soon for
several reasons, in the first place, we
are situated in one of the best truck
ing districts in the United States. 1t
is a certainty that people will have
to eat. We know what the soil of the
Eastern Shore has done, and we see
no reason why it should not do the
same next year.
eff we look at the crops raised last
year was boanteous and the farmer
who marketed early made money.
Early potatoes sold at a high figure.
Sweet potatoes during the summer,
and still, are bringing good money.
Wheat was sold at loss by the farm
er, who held on for the high dollar,
Instead Of the high, he took the low.
Early strawberries, beans, cantaloupes
and apples, during the season, and
even now, all brought profit to the
farmer in spite of high priced trans
portation.
'The great cry that went up last
year from every quarter, the howl that
has never ceased reverberating, was
staged on account of the tomato stu.
alton. Outside of this crop, there wa;
very little to find just cause for grum.
bling. 1t must be admitted that this
crop, which. has been the mortgage
litter in all parts Of the Eastern Shor'
and which has been the starter tt
Fords and fortunes to many farmer
was hard hit.
"The tomato is out of the running
for year or possibly two, for severa
reasons; fertilizers are too high. Can
also will be high. Freight rates wi
not be lowered. Farmers will NJ
plant seed next year. Canneries wi
not be running on tomatoes. The
are selling today for much less tina
it takes to can them, and the. cond
tion cannot change for at least tv
years.
However, there must be an equa
ization made, and the farmer, esp
cially the Eastern Shore farmer,
Gated as he is in the most producti-
locality of the United States, will n
starve. They will have to take lie
for their product, but they must raj
crops that can be grown with the lea
labor and that are sure to be in Z
mand.
"As l said before, I am an optim
and ] cannot see why we can't be We
prosperous, as we have always be,
Probably the big money that has be
coming in from our crops has made
hard for us to be satisfied with mu
less, but if we work on a differt
basis, getting less and paying out lie
we will be as well off in the end a
may be great deal happier"
