having left at 6 pm. Friday to
visit in Crisfield, Md. The fire
started at an electric switch
at the head of the stairs and
was confined to bedroom, the
attic, and roof. However, there
was water and smoke damage
to the remainder of the house.
The estimated loss to the
frame house was $4,000 and to
the contents, $500. The house
was valued at $4,000 and con-
tents at $4,000. A son of the
Sterling family lives In Smyr-
ma and he was notified by the
firemen. He then called his
parents who had reached Girls
field and started back home at
once.
Chief Reynolds Bradley di-
rected the volunteers at the
scene and the firemen said that
extensive smoke and water
damage resulted throughout the
house.

Recent Tax
Sales Net
County
Over $4,000

Kent Levy Court members
heard the happy sound ofmoney
Tuesday as they got a favor
able report on progress of its
tax sales.
The commissioners learned
from Receiver of Taxes Dor
sey Torbert that Mondays large
auction netted the county more
then $4,000 in delinquent taxes.
But they we're also told by
Joshua Twilley, Dover attorney
hired to assist the tax office,
that the 20 properties soldwere
all that remained of 80 set for
the auction block.
The 90 delinquent bills we're
settled as tax bills we're either
settled or partially paid off,
said Twilley.
And Torbert reported that the
three sales held so far, the first
In more than a decade - have
evidently spurred tax payments.
He reports an increase In
payments.
81 think we're over the
hump" commented Twilley....
''we've got the worst ones out
of the way. What we're getting
into now are people who can
pay"
Another sale is planned for
the near future and another
block of delinquent bills will
be advertised, he said.
The present Levy Court
pushed tax sales when 1t took
office in January as means to
solve the problem of overdue
taxes and increase county rev.
enue. TWilley was retained to
help set up the sales.
Another note of optimism was
sounded by Twilley when he
said that very little "hard feel
ings" have been generated by
the sales.
He reported hearing of littls
bad feeling or resentment of
the county for selling land and
buildings for which no taxes
had been paid.
In fact, he said, in some cases
the neighbors and communities
appeared happy to see sub
standard or unused property
sold in hopes 1t would get an
owner to care for it.
Most of the properties In the
first three sales held this sum-
mer fell in this category. These
are the older delinquent bills
on the county ledgers.
Now, Twilley said, the county
is getting into more recent bills
and the owners are more in
clined to pay up rather than
see the properties sold.
