Appropriations Now Available to Pur-
chase of Serum for Their Treatment
Although this isn't the weather for
hog cholera to develop, two cases of
cholera have been reported to the
State Board of Agriculture. These
have been among Sussex county pork
ers. Fortunately, through the indul-
gence of the Legislature the State
Board of Agriculture was better fit
ted this year to take care Of hog
cholera than for several years. There
was an emergency appropriation of
$4,000 arranged for to enable the
board to purchase nog cholera serum
sufficient to care for all appeals until
July 1, when another appropriation of
$4,000 will be available for the re
mainder Of the year up until July II,
1928. Farmers who inoculate their
young porkers now against hog chol-
era will save the State money be-
cause it does not require SO much
serum now as it would in two or three
months when the porkers become
more mature. Veterinarians in the
SERVICE Ol Tie oIdle DOdIu u ASIlCul-
ture are busy testing cattle for tuber-
culosis in all three counties. In Sus-
sex practically every herd has been
tested once or twice and the tests now
being conducted are to identify any
reactors. The situation is not quite
80 good in Kent and in New Castle
county it is almost virgin territory.

well cleared Of tuberculin cattle. One
state official in New Castle county
who had his cattle tested had every
one of them condemned because of

The error and delinquent list Of
1926 taxes was presented to the Levy
Court at their regular weekly meet
ing on Tuesday by James E. Sapp,
Receiver of Taxes After being ex-
amined by the Levy Court the report
was accepted.
The error and delinquent lists
amounts to $3,O29.O5 and is divided
among the districts as follows: First,
$311.44; Second, $405.54; Third, $685.
SO; Fourth, $216.22; Fifth, $395.1O;
Sixth, $145.60; Seventh, $213.92;
Eighth, 2O7.44; Ninth, $35O.7O; Tenth,
$38207; Supplementary, S202.34.

Implications in the assessments, per-
sons who have moved out of the coun-
ty and taxes that cannot be collected
for other reasons.
Fence viewers for the year for each
district were also appointed as fol-
lows: First, w. R. Davis, Benjamin
Collins and G. Frank Gootee; Second,

The bond of Wilson A. Moore, who
was elected as constable at large for
the county, was received and after
being approved was ordered filed.
Arley B. Magee, representing Mrs.
R. o. P. Wilson, made a request that
road along Mrs. Wilson's farm, near
the Leipsic-Smyrna road, be closed.
The matter was referred to County
Engineer James B. Bice, Jr., for in
vestigation.
The Levy Court decided to have the
ceilings in the offices of the County
Engineer and Sheriff repaired. In
both offices the plaster has fallen off
in large quantity and the present con-
ditions make the offices dangerous to
work in.
A resolution was adopted authoriz-
ing Receiver of Taxes James E. Sapp
to deposit all the remaining taxes for
1926 that are collected to the credit
of the general fund. This action was
taken because it is now unnecessary
for the county to maintain sinking
fund as the State is paying for the
interest and retiring bonds.
Engineer Bice reported on plans for
the completion of the bridge over
Green's river, near Leipsic and was
instructed to prepare specifications
covering these plans.

for a specific purpose, that of build

have this money used for building a

purpose being passed by the Legisla-

by law from the oyster revenues Of
the state for the upkeep Of the road

done with the $4,000 has not as yet

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Company
held meeting at Rehoboth yesterday
to discuss plans for the final develop
ment Of their property, Dewey Beach,
which operation was discontinued last
fall because of weather conditions.
Plans contemplated are filling in the
marshy area near the head of Reho-
both bay and grading and laying Of
streets in the northern section, which
is the undeveloped part of the proper
ty. A force of men will be placed on
the job and the work will be rushed
to quick completion. No sales Of
this property have been made as the
company desires to have the property
in good cndition before offering it to
the public. Legislation affecting ad-
jacent property will insure the popu-
larity of Dewey Beach as it is sur
rounded by three bodies of water, the
Atlantic ocean, Rehoboth bay and Sill
yer lake.
