During the discussion they con-
CURED with the mayor and council
Of Delmar Del, that economy in
local government is Of the utmost
Importance. but is second to the
adequate protection Of life and
property within the town. The
cOncensus of opinion was that the
moving Of Route 13 did not lessen
the need for police protection to a
degree where one officer would be
sufficient,
The commissioners at the same
meeting, agreed to raise the fee for
installation of new sewer tax fees
from $50 to $50. The rising cost
Of labor and materials were given
as the reason.
This does not effect the annual
sewer rents for installations al
ready connected to the municipal
sewer lines, as some of the towns
people may have been led to be-
lieve. II is an increase in hOOk-up !
fees only.
