TO ISSUE KENT ROAD BONDS
Levy Court Authorizes $50O,OOO Al
Tuesdays Meeting at Dover

Levy Court Authorizes 100000 At
Tuesdays Meeting at Dover
The Kent County Levy Court, with
all the members present met Tuesday
of last week and after transacting the
usual weekly business took up the
matter of the Five Hundred Thousand
Dollar Bond Issue for he building of
Estate Aid Roads" in Kent county
during 1922.
The State Highway Department has
allotted to Kent county for Estate Aid
Roads" for next year Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars, which is to be met
by like sum from the county.
Under the direction of the Levy
Court, its attorney, Richard R. Kenney
prepared resolution, under the pro-
visions of the Act of 1920, which au-
thorized bond issue by this county
of One Million Dollars for Estate Aid
Roads" authorizing the Levy Court to
issue Five Hundred Bonds of One
Thousand Dollars each, aggregating
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars.
The preamble and resolution, after
discussion, was unanimously adopted
by the Court. and a certified copy
thereof, was directed to be delivered
J to the State Highway Department.
/ The bonds authorized are to draw
/ interest at the rate of 1-2 per centum
per annum and bear date April l, 1922
The resolution, among other things,
directed the preparation of the Five
Hundred Bonds to be issued and the
advertising for purchasers for the
same.
1t was understood that the bonds
will be prepared and the bids advertiS
ed for in time for the acceptance OF
the bids and execution of the bonds by
April l, next.
In view of the present money out
look it is believed that these bonds
will sell for at least par and some
familiar with financial matters say
they will bring a premium, for the
fact that there is seldom an offer o.
bonds by State, County or City whicl
has such high class behind it as doe!

One thousand one hundred nineteen
rates were slain by Kent County boys
and girls in the Rat Killing Contest
which ended November 30th. Much
interest has been shown throughout
the county during the past six months
in this contest to kill the greatest mum
Der of rats and thus bring to the at
tention of the farmers of Kent coun-
ty the number of these rodents that
are living on their farms, eating their
grain and feed, killing their poultry,
cutting their harness and bags and
polluting their buildings. The statis-
tics of the U. S. Government show
that rats destroy more in any one year
than a sum equal to all taxes paid by
all farmers in the United States. Does
this hold true on your farm 1t is
worth thinking about.
Mr.. w. w. Hubbard, president of
the Peerless Fertilizer Company, has
made this contest possible by offering
seventy-five dollars ($75.00) for prizes
to the winners. This contest was con-

Exemptions Allowed For Dependents
Increased" Nuisance Taxes" and
Taxes on Admission to Theatres
The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue H.
T. Graham of the District of Della
ware:
Enactment of new revenue legisla-
ton has brought to the offices of Col
lectors of Internal Revenue flood of
inquiries regarding various provisions
The Revenue Act of 1921 became eff
fective November %, 1921, "unless
otherwise provided for"
"To avoid error in the preparation
of their returns and later difficulties
with the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
taxpayers are advised to note careful
ly the changes and when they become
effective.
"The excess profits tax is repealed
as of January l, 1922. The rates for
1921 are unchanged.
The surtax rates for the calendar
year 1921 are unchanged, and range
from per cent on the amount of net
income between $4,000 and $4,000, to
65 per cent on the amount of net in
come in excess of $1,00O,0OO. For the
calendar year 1922 the surtax rates
range from l per cent on the amount
of net income between $4,000 and $10,-
900, to so per cent on the amount by
which the net income exceeds $200,000
"The exemption allowed for a de-
pendent is increased from 5000 to
$400. Married persons living with
husband or wife and heads of families
are allowed personal exemption of
$2500 (instead of $4,000, unless the
net income is in excess of $4,000, in
which case the personal exemption is
only 5000. The act provides that in
no case shall the reduction of the per.
sonal exemption from $25O0 to $1,000
operate to increase the tax which
would be payable if the exemption
were $2500, by more than the amount
of the net income in excess of $4,000
This is to overcome the disparity il
the case of two taxpayers, one o.
whom is just within the lower $1,000
exemption and the other just within
the higher $2500 exemption.
Single persons, and married per
sons not living with husband or wife
are allowed an exemption of $1,000
Nonresident aliens are allowed a sin
gle personal exemption of $1,000. Per
sons having gross incomes for 1921 o
