Before Levy Court
MEETING NEEDED
BY EDUCATION BOARD

Uncollected taxes especially the
school capitation taxes due the
county were discussed at a recess
meeting of the Levy Court this at =
ternoon. As a result of this dis
cussion the Commissioners decided
TO have representatives of the bond (,
ing companies now on the bond of
the ten tax collectors appear before
the Court next Tuesday morning at 4,
IL o'clock.
The question OF unpaid taxes was
brought up by DR.. II. V. Holloway, {,
State Superintendent of Public In
struction representing the State
Board of Education who stated that
the board was threatened with a
law suit unless they can pay off
debt of S9,629.29 owed for the past
Is months. DR.. Holloway explained u
that when the old County Board OF
Education was legislated out OF Of i
hce. it owed S22,494.72 which was
TO be paid by the uncollected school
taxes which amounted to that much 4
money. Since then this debt. he
added has been reduced TO s9,629.29
and he requested the Court to see ]
that this money was collected at
once.
1t developed at the recess that the
utstanding school taxes due the I
county for the past three years to-
tailed S63,515.97 and OF this sum ]
$4,000 was due from Wilmington.
Frank L. Speakman. attorney for
the Court said that it seemed the
collectors were making no effort TO
collect the capitation taxes.
Commissioner Lattomus said that ,
he had found some people assessed 4
four times for the same tax in his
district
Boyd C. Mccoy, one of the COM
missioners, said that he did not
know just how this money could be
collected as he had sued two men
when he was a tax collector and Il
cost him 81, but he failed to collect
the taxes. I'll never sue another
man." Mr.. Mccoy added.
Mr.. Speakman said that he knew j
there were 100 people in Brandy
wine Hundred who had not paid
their school taxes. He said there J
was no reason for this as he felt the
