Yours truly, y. y. Moody.

1t was here that Mr.. Nelson re-

"tyranical bureaucracy that ever
existed in Delaware
Mr.. Nelson said he never saw
Mr.. Moody. Il don't know whether
ne is a Democrat or Republican and
that makes no difference. He is
Delawarean and his rights are being
trampelled on" Nelson added. He
said Mr.. Moody is entitled to re-
dress and the Legislature was the
proper body to appeal to. He said
Mr.. Moody's was not the only trans
portation problem that is causing
complaint. He cited one case where
he said it cost taxpayer 80 week
for transportation for his children
in addition to his regular school tax.
In conclusion, Mr.. Nelson said
that he proposes from now on dur
ing the session to do all that he
can to have these things cut out,
which are opposed to democracy.
The bill that Mr.. Nelson proposes
to introduce, it is understood. will
provide for abolishing the Office OF
supervisor, there being seven in the
State, two in New Castle and Kent
counties and three in Sussex county,
and to abolish a number OF other Of
fees held under the state Board OF
Education.
