plate further burdening Wilmington
by levying an additional five-cent

stI uction of improved roads and the

get State aid for road construction

mington is an easy mark" The Gen
eral Assembly fixed 25-cent tax rate
for school purposes. the City Council
increased from s1.75 TO $3.50 the tax
rate for city and school purposes. and
the Levy Court may advance from IS
to so cents the tax rate for county
