paving those portions OF Market

COUNTY MAY
INCREASE TAX
Rural Assessment Gain Not
Sufficient to Warrant
Present Rate
NEW DEMANDS ON
THE LEVY COURT

In view of the comparatively small
increase in assessment on county
property and the heavy demands be-
ing made of the Levy Court for ap-
preparations by the various county
bodies. the belief has arisen among
men familiar with county affairs that
the Levy Court will not be able to
carry out its desire of keeping the
county tax rate at its present figure.
II is estimated that the increase
in assessment this year will be be-
tween sl.5OO.00O and 100000
Although there was an increase
OF S6.566. 800 in the assessment last
year over that Of the previous year,
the commissioners found 1t neces-
sary to increase the tax rate from
20 cents to rs cents for county and
poor purposes.
The County Board OF Assessment
Is now completing its tabulation OF
the assessment for New Castle
county for the next fiscal year.
preparatory TO submitting to Levy
Court the figures upon which the
court will establish a tax rate suffi-
cient TO cover its 1929 budget.
While the assessment board has
not made public any figures. II Is
understood the increase in the as
sessment on real estate in the county
will be iderably less than last |
year, and will probably not exceed |
more than s1.5O0,O0O to 100000 |
al the outside In fact. 1t is said |
there have been so few changes |
in the. assessment, practically all /
the bills sent out this year will be /
duplicates OF last year.
Last years county assessment IN /
the city was 11,557,797. and for
rural New Castle county. s55,545.155,
a total Of s167. 1oO.s52. In addition
TO the 76-cent tax rate fixed by Levy
Court for the current fiscal year,
there is a school tax OF rs cents,
making the rate s1.01. and except in
incorporated towns road tax OF 30
cents is added TO this.
In spite OF the apparently slight
increase in the assessment for next
year. heavy demands are being made
on Levy Court for appropriations.
The county hospital is asking for
new heating system. etc, installa-
ton OF which will mean an outlay OF
about $40, 900. although this will re-
quire an enabling act by the Legis-
lature; the rural fire companies are
clamoring for financial assistance.
and the county's road building pro-
gram will tax available financial re-
sources.
