SUSSEX COUNTY
TAXESLOWERED
BY LEVY COURT
Confined from First Pagel

y
No one is able to foresee what
they will be up against this fall and
winter If hundreds are thrown on
relief and the different communities
are not able to take care of them.
1t is admitted that the needy will
have to be cared for, and in 'he
event that there is no workable re-
lief agency deriving funds from
some source then it will, in all lik-
lihood, fall on the Levy Court Com
missioners to give assistance, as it
was found necessary to do in many
cases during the past winter,
The taxes will be due on and af-
ter June l and it is believed that
sufficient funds will be raise by the
new levy to take care of everything.
The tax reduction will be helpful to
all, especially the farmers who have
been so hard hit within the past few
years.
