PLAN TAX SLASH
IN EVERY COUNTY

With Legislators Look
ing To Saving.
TO TAKE OVER ROADS
Such A Move Would Re
suit In Lowering COun-
ty Road Taxes.

Legislation whereby property oW-
ners throughout the State would be
saved $575,000 annually in taxes on
real estate will be submitted to the
present General Assembly. 1t is
probable that the measures were in
troduced during the rush Of new
business yesterday. Plans to thus
relieve the taxables are the out
growth of a long conference Cover
nor c. Douglass Buck held Monday
morning with Republican legisla-
tors from New Castle county, sew
eral party leaders of that county
and Representatives of the New
Castle County Levy Court.
Another subject discussed at the
meeting was lowering cost of relief
work in that county and the con-
census of opinion was that this
could be accomplished by reducing
the number of those now on relief
and providing more stringent rules
and regulations under which relief
would be made available.
AS a result of the conference two
joint committees were created rep
resenting the Senate and House,
one to devise the legislation neces-
sary to put the tax reduction pro-
iect into effect and the other to
prepare relief legislation.
The tax proposal involves the as
sumption by the State Highway De-
partment of all the highways and
roads in the State, thus relieving
the several counties of the cost Of
maintenance Of such roads. To en-
able the highway department to
cope with this additional expense

Sterilization of habitual criminals

Of a bill which would elothe the

has been convicted three or more
times on charges of having commit
ted felOnies. This section of the act
has been dormant since the adOp-

enforced for various reasons but
State officials charged with the duty
to enforcing the act have decided
to resurrect it and put it into effect.

GROWERS
REPORT Big LOSS
w. 4. DericksOn Learns
Crop In Upper Counties
Practically Destroyed.

Mr. W. T. DeTicksOn. Director
of the Bureau of Markets, of the
State Board of Agriculture, Dover,
reports that Delaware peach grow
ers suffered a severe loss from the
cold weather about three weeks ago.
A large percentage of the growers
in Kent and New Castle counties re-
port that they have not been able
tC find any live peach buds In their
orchards. Others report a few
scatterings buds. but it is apparent
that practically all peaches in these
two counties are destroyed. Tenn
perature did not range quite so low
in Sussex county and while many
growers report a complete loss
there are a few who feel they still
have 2596 to S095 live buds left in
their orchards, and in some cases a
few more. This condition seems to
prevail in all parts Of Sussex cOun-
reports received by the Bureau Of
Markets Indicate there has been a
very severe damage to peaches in
other states. New Jersey reports
that practically 1000 of all peach
es south of Trenton are killed.
There is severe damage in all parts
of the State, but the western hill
section reports indicate the damage
may not exceed 500. New York re-
ports that in the Hudson Valley sec
tion, where peaches are extensively
grown, most growers report all OF
their buds are killed. In western
New York the growers feel the dam
age has not been so severe, but com
plete reports are not yet available.
Pennsylvania reports they had sew
eral days when the temperature
ranged from II to Is degrees below
zero. A complete. official report is
not yet available; however. from
private sources it is indicated there
is a severe loss. North Carolina re-
ports that up to the present time
there has not been any damage to
peaches from freezing in that State.
Official reports in Maryland have
not yet been received; however, re-
ports soon after the freezing indi-
Gated that the damage was quite
severe. The damage from freezing
in West Virginia is apparently con-
less. Some sections re-
ported practically 1000 killed.
while other sections indicate a CON-
DaratiVely small loss.
