INDIAN RIVER PROJECT
U. S. Engineering Department Con-
siders ACCESSIBILITY of Abandoning
Work On Indian River

A communication from United
States Senator Thomas F. Bayard has
been received in which he enclosed a
notice received by him from Col.
Brown, who is in charge of the En-
gineering work for this district, in
which the Indian River deepening pro-
ject is discussed. The following no
tice is self explanatory:
l. The Act of Congress of March
3, 1915, authorizing the construction,
repair and preservation of certain
public works on rivers and harbOrs,
and for other purposes, contains the
following provisions:
"Section Z. The Chief of En-
gineers is directed to make a re-
port upon all rivers and harbOr
projects heretofore adopted, the
further improvement of which
cultailment of the plans or pro-
jects should be made
2. AS result of a preliminary in
vestigation, undertaken in accordance
with the above, the War Department
is considering the advisability of rec
Ommending for abandonment the ex-
isting project for the Federal i'm
provement of Indian River, Delaware.
3. The project for Federal i'm
prOvement of Indian River, Delaware,
provides for a channel feet deep at
mean low water and 80 feet wide from
the town of Millsboro to the sea, fol-
lowing the line Of deepest water
through the clutches" to the north
side of BurtOn's Island, thence thru
"The Bulkhead" and thence straight
to the inlet, protected on the north
side by dixie to the beach, and a v
shaped dixie at the northeast end of
Burton's Island. Estimated cost $50
000.
A. In 1888, with an appropriation
of $4,000, a channel was dredged
through the Bulkhead Shoal feet in
depth, $500 feet in length, with a
width Of so feet for two-thirds of the
length and 60 feet in width for the
other one-third. An examination made
December, 1884, found the channel in
same condition as before dredging be-
gan. No work in progress since 1883

tending to show why the proposed
abandonment should not be recon-

8 MEN HURT IN EASTON FIRE

ALL STATE TAKABLES MUST PAY
Continued from first pagel

avoid their payments. On the other
hand, there is much to be said by way |
of excuse for those who have failed |
to pay.
This law is new; only three years
have passed since its adoption by the
Legislature of 1923 and less than one
year since its important amendment
by the Legislature of 1925. When one
calls for a copy he may receive it as
part of the "SchOOl Laws of the State
of Delaware, 1929, a phamphlet Of
9S pages, or, from the State Tax De
partment in form of a small pamphlet
of 80 pages, giving the tax law COM
plete and as amended by the Legisla-
ture of 1925. No matter how the
copy is obtained, the law is not easily
understood The Tax Commissioner
acknowledges having spent several
days in writing out his understanding
of its words, but had not sufficient
confidence in this undertaking to pub
lish it without reference to a lawyer.
With all the difficulties to be faced,
probably not more than few hundred
of the $4,000 taxable citizens of Del
aware have read the law Opinions
have been formed from hearsay.
Many do not know that the entire
amount of income taxes collected, and
the filing fees also, are turned over
to the Public School Fund for the sup
port of the Public Schools of the
whole state.
Many think that the Filing Fee is
retained by the Tax Commissioner
himself. Such is not the case, as the
salaries of the Commissioner and all
employees of his office, as well as the
expenses, are paid from the annual
appropriation of the Legislature and
from fines collected. The Commits
sioner has no right to payment beyond
his salary of $4,000.
Some have believed the Filing Fee
an unconstitutional tax but the Su-
preme Court of Deloware in the Jan
uary term of 1922 upheld its consti-
tutiOnality.
1t has been widely published and it
is true that many more income tax
returns are made to the United States
Government by Delawareans than are
made to the State. Such condition
discourages those from whom taxes
are still due for they have seen no i'll
3 result flowing from delinquency and,
until recently, little power in the Tax
Department to make collection.
Probably not more than One-half of
those who should pay filing fee only,
have done so. If the law and the
I provision for its enforcement are not
4 sufficient, why should one-half con-
r tinue to pay while the other half does
. not?
Have we not an abundance of cause
e for delinquency and does not this
= cause amount to an excuse to those
who have not paid already?
The remedy for the existing ills
j seems clear.
n First, we must consider the taxes
e now due and unpaid, through failure
a to make return March IS, 1921, 1922
1928, 1924, and 1925, as obligations tc
Smyrna times., 1925-11-11

the State which must be paid and
which no Legislature can forgive.
Second, we should recognize the
causes for non-payment and give time
for making returns to those now will
ing to recognize the law, leaving to be
legally compelled only the few who,
having learned of their duty and the
ability and intent of the Department
to make collections, still refuse to
make payment.
AS much confusion exists on account
of failure to give the State School
Tax Department full and correct
names and addresses, all tax payers
should pay special attention to this
point and should also insist on having
receipts for payments, also with
names correctly written. Receipts
should be carefully preserved as proof
of payment.
The present law will be in force un-
changed until January 1927; mean
time, the State School Tax Depart
ment should be informed of all unfair
or undesirable features of the law
that need to be changed or stricken
out However, it must be remember
ed that this law provides for a large
part of the cost maintaining the Pub
lie Schools and therefore, it cannot be
repealed or materially altered without
substituting another source of income.
The State School Tax Department
is issuing a notice, offering liberal
treatment in granting more time for
making tax returns to those concern
