INCREASE UNLIKELY
IN COUNTY TAX RATE
Assessment Board Completed
Its Work on Valuations for
Next Fiscal Year.

The New Castle County Board OF As
sessment finished today the county as
sessnent for the fiscal year begin
ming July l and will present it TO the
Levy Court Monday, which will soon
thereafter fix the county tax rate for
1929.
Although official figures are not OBJ
tainable. 1t is underst ood the assess
ment for next year will slightly ex-
coed the assessment for this year
which is s111 ,557.797 for Wilmington
and s55.543.155 for the rural districts,
a total OF s167.100.952.
Persons in touch with the situati
believe the tax rate will not be in
creased. Some Levy Court commits
sioners favor continuance of the
present rate. and others ad-
yocate reduction. The pres
ent rate is II cents on each 800 O.
real estate assessment for county pur-
poses, 5 cents for relieving the poor
and 35 cents for roads. Wilmington
and towns do not contribute TO the
road fund. The county is also assessed
70 cents on each 800 of real estate
assessment for school purposes. which
probably means a total county rate
Of S1.01 for Wilmington.
