Collect Outstanding Taxes
STATE BOARD WITHOUT FUNDS

Or. H. v. Holloway, state superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, address,
ed the Levy Court Tuesday relative to
the outstanding school taxes now un-
paid. He explained that he had ad-
dressed the Levy Courts of Kent and
Sussex counties on the same subject
The courts he said had power to collect
these moneys.

purchase needed desks. DR.. Holloway
replied that $50 a teacher was the
amount allowed for replacements and
repairs, and that if the county collected
the taxes the Board would have suffi-
cient funds to carry on its work. The
outstanding taxes in New Castle
county, he said amount to $40, GOO and
in Kent county to 5000. The out
standing bills of the board the doctor
said amounted to about $4,000.
Commissioner Buckson called the at
tention of the court to the school house
at St. Georges which has one room
without windows. The only light er-
tering comes in over transom. In
this school Mr.. Buckson said three chill
dren are using one desk.

ing taxes will be discussed at that time. |
