SUSSEX'S FINANCES
In GOOD CONDITION
[Continmed rom First Page1

While an act of the Legislature
fixing the assessment at no more
than fifty cents has always been cen
sidered detriment, especially when
emergencies might arise, yet they
have been able to keep within tEe
limit, although at many times they
desired to give relief when they
were unable to do so to the extent
they desired because of the low tax
rate.
The present tax rate is far too low
to meet the emergency relief needed.
In fact, it is much below the rate al
lowed by law. How the Levy Court
Commissioners are going to meet the
situation, without borrowing before
the winter is over, to take care of
the needy, is problematical. They
are, at the present time, doing re-
lief duty. They are maintaining
quarters, furnishing an investigator,
stenographer and aiding otherwise.
But It is admitted that 1t cannot be
done on the tax rate that has been
fixed. unless there is a cutting down
on other expenditures.

~ town, N. j., her home
- -. before coming to Mil

week in that town because they

fifty years old. Illustrious per-
sons like Francis Hopkinson,
Continental congressman, Rich
ard Watson Glider, noted author.
j. Fenimore Cooper, another
writer, and many more, have re-
sided there. Most notable of all,
however, is Joseph Bonaparte.
Oldest brother of Napoleon, and
himself a former King of Spain.
He lived for two decades in this
New Jersey town. So October 6
will be an open house day and
time for refreshment of history.
Mrs. Brakeley will be there to
enjoy the day and the echoes
