NEW CASTLE LEVY COURT STIR
Naming of Thomas LattOmus, Town
send, Levy COurtman to Check Tax
Increase, and for Better Business

That the sole object of naming
Thomas LattOmus of Townsend a
Commissioners was learned by prom
inent Republican leaders in Whining
ton, Saturday, was to put the New
Castle county Levy Court on a better
business basis. Few people out side
of those dozen or more who are di-
rectly interested, know that SINCE the
organization of the present Levy
Court there have been no rules OF. reg
ulatiOns to govern that body. In
other words there were never any
rules or regulations adopted until the
meeting last week. 1t is asserted by
friends of Commissioner Lattomus and
some Republican leaders, that the Levy
Courts financial program was headed
straight for an increase in the county
tax rate. 1t was to avoid such in
creases, that the LattOmus appoint
ment was made, the latter's friends
say. There is to be an effort to pare
down the coming years appropriation
if possible so that it may come within
the present tax rate. There has been
much talk about needless expenditures
in various departments, and ALL of
these are now being probed to ascer-
tain where slashes may be made and
the efficiency of the department main
tained. The fact that one road had
been decided upon to be put in the new
budget at a cost of $4,000, for which
it is claimed there is little use, has
been common gossip. Then there is
the automobile feet maintained by the
/. Levy Court comprising fourteen cars.
Among them are one automobile for
each Levy COurtman, which it is said,
are used as private cars, while the up
keep and repairs are borne by the
county. At the next meeting of the
court it is said Mr.. LattOmuS will pro-
pose the sale of all these cars but one
which shall be marked "Levy Court
in large letters. If the present tax
rate is to be maintained, it is estimat-

in Levy Court is causing much com.
