IGNORES PROTESTS

In sticking 10 that date, Hender-
son ignored scores of protests by
landlords and real estate associa-
tons of this area who claimed a
much later date should be Sc

The reduction of rents in the
three counties will be automatic.
Beginning with their June rents
tenants are instructed TO cut their
rents to those they paid April /,
1941. Approval of such a reduc-
tion by a landlord is not neces-
sary.
These reductions apply June, ]
whether the tenant pays his rent
daily, weekly or monthly. Per-
sons with leases also must reduce
their rentals TO those of April l,

A Message To The Citizens OF Cecil County
Candidate For

in Cecil County and was obliged to
sell AZ properties for delinquent
taxes, of which number Cecil Co.
purchase 20. Last August, for the
year 1941, was obliged to adver-
tise only Is properties of which nu.
only were sold and Cecil Co. was
the purchaser of but property. Tax
sales in Cecil County are now almost
a negligible factor Incidentally, the
method adopted by my Office in the
collection of delinquent taxes has
been studied by the Department of
Legislative Reference of this State
and many words of praise have been
received therefrom. A second corol-
larry to the subject of tax collections
is the item of
Local Tax Rate
The County tax rate in Cecil Co.
is $1.OO per hundred. This rate is
the second lowest in the State of
Maryland, the lowest rate being 80
cents per hundred; the highest, ex-
elusive of Baltimore City being $3.50
per hundred. The trend of local tax
es in Cecil Co. has been downward
for more than a score of years.
need not dwell upon the wisdom of
affording local tax relief to the tax
payer who is now staggering under
the weight of Federal taxes which
are so necessary to the successful
prosecution of this War of survival.
Another high light in the financial
set up of Cecil County is
A Balanced Budget
Cecil County at the close of each
fiscal year has enjoyed cash sur
plus of from fifteen to sixty thous-
and dollars for a period of more
than twenty years. Is not this an en-
viable record in this day of mount
ing deficits?
There are number of other sal
lent factors relating to the financial
structure of Cecil Co. such as bond
ed debt, provision for contingencies,
which are worthy of commentator,
but which l am prvented from dis
cussing because of the lack of time
and space.
In conclusion may l remind the
Voters of Cecil County that on Nov
ember 3rd next an opportunity will
be afforded you to choose those who
will represent your interests in the
several State and Local offices for
the next four years; period with
out doubt the most crucial and mo-
mentous in our history am pro-
foundly grateful to the citizens of
Cecil County for the confidence re-
posed in me by repeatedly recalling
me to serve you as Treasurer; and
give you my pledge that If 1 am
again returned to Office, I shall
earnestly endeavor to administer the
financial affairs of Cecil County
along the same high plane as has
obtained in the past SO that there
may be neither miscarriage nor per-
version of your trust
Edwin s. Dorcus
Treasurer of Cecil Co.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1942-10-30

The pressure of business incident
to my Office, particularly at this
season of the year, and my decision
to endeavor to do my bit in the con-
servation of gas and tires in this Ma
tional crisis by limiting my mileage
to that accorded me by an A coupon,
have made it possible for me to see
personally only a small percentage
of the voting populace of this Coun-
ty in order to discuss the issues of
my candidacy. I am therefore thru
the medium of the local papers en-
deavoring to acquaint the citizenry
of the County with few pertinent
facts relating to the administration
to my Office during my present term.
Because of the lack of time and
space I shall confine my facts and
figures to the last fiscal year termin-
ating June 80, 1912, the period COW
cred by the last auditors examina-
ton. The figures for any previous
year show the same favorable finan-
cial picture. l desire to take up first
the matter of
Tax Collections i'm Cecil County
The amount of State and County
taxes for the past fiscal year, (1941-
1942), which were placed in my
hands for collection was $552,912.
The amount of uncollected taxes at
the end of the last fiscal year was
$822.67. Expressed in terms of per
cent, the percentage of tax collec-
tions for the past fiscal year was
9986@o, and the percentage of un-
collected taxes was about II of l %.
This picture will be still further
improved within the next few
months. The aggregate of the uncol-
lected taxes in Cecil County for the
past four years less than $4,000.
OF these uncollected tax items, some
are at present tied up in Court liti-
cation. Let us compare the above
figures with a statement of uncol-
lected taxes as shown in the finan-
cial report of County in this State
less than one hundred miles distant.
The County which / am using for
comparison has an assessable basis
about two-thirds as large as Cecil
County and consequently there is
much smaller volume of taxes to
be collected. Notwithstanding this
fact, the uncollected taxes in this
neighboring County for the past
two years, as stated in its financial
report, is $156,00O.00 In Cecil
County the unsolicited taxes for the
same period is less than $1,5O0.0O.
1 shall not discuss the matter of tax
collections from the angle of fair
ness to all tax payers. That is self
evident and needs no elaboration. AS
corollary to the matter of tax col
lections, should like to discuss
briefly
Tax Sales I'm Cecil County
The State Legislature in 1885
passed law making it the duty of
the County Treasurer to collect, all
delinquent taxes and to conduct tax
sales in August of each year. In the
Summer of 1895 more than 200
properties were advertised for Sale
