THE HARD ROAD OF REFORM.

Already Il Is apparent that the pro-
gram OF reform laid out by the bi-par-
tisan reorganization Of the New Castle
county Levy Court. as demonstrated
by the budget adopted for the opera
tons Of the coming fiscal year, will
meet with persistent, possibly vicious.
resistance. The partisan minority of
the three INSTRUMENTATION Republi-
can members. possibly melted by out
side suggestion. has raised the voice
of opposition 10 the measures that
have been proposed for cutting down
expenditures so that the reduced tax
rate for the coming year, no agreeable
TO many harassed taxpayers. may
prove sufficient to meet all proper de-
niands OF efficient administration.
Some features Of reform are already
in evidence-the large reduction u the
appropriation for automobile service
cutting down OF certain expendi-
lures 20 what are considered reason
able limits; and disposition TO see
that no favoritlsn shall prevail IN the
award OF contracts, and that value
shall be received. as far as possible
for every dollar OF public expenditure
II cannot be doubted the people gen
orally will warmly indorse an admin
istration that Will carry such goot
Intentions into practical effect.
