Senate OK's
Pension Rise
For Police

The Senate Tuesday joined the
House In voting to increase pen
sions of retired state policemen
after rejecting an amendment
that would have provided an a.
cross -the-board increase.
The bill that passed (HB u
with HA |, 2 and 81 calls for
retirement pay based on the
prevailing pay schedule of the
preceding Dec. 81, not on the
date of retirement.
The proposed amendment, in
troduced by Sen. Walter ]. Hoey,
D-Milford, would have in
creasedpensions by $85 across
the-board with a $235minimum
monthly pension.
Sen. Allen ]. Cook, D-Ken-
ton, said he had no doubts Hoey's
intent was good but that the
original bill should pass. He
said the amendment wouldmean
a sergeant retiring 20 years
ago would get less than one
retiring a year ago.
'We have one of the best
police forces In the world"
Cook said, ''and all are en-
titled to the same thing"
Hoey said he thought the
across -the-board method twas
the fair and adequate way" to
do 1t and that 1t would cover
the higher cost of living.
Sen. Margaret R. Manning,
R-Marshallton, suggested that
sometime soon the whole ques-
zion of why state employees re-
ceive pensions should be aired.
The amendment was easily
defeated, and the bill passed
with only one negative vote

Kent Levy
Court Votes
TO Reassess
Property

Sealed bids for a general
reassessment of Kent County
real estate--including tax ex-
empt property--were called for
Tuesday by the Levy Court.
All three country commits
sioners voted to advertise for
bids on the much discussed
project with a bid opening set
at 2 pm. July rs.
The job will take two years
and is estimated to cost about
$l20, 900.
The commiss sioners took ac-
tion on the politically contro-
versial issue after one men,
Der of the county Board of
Assessment said he refused
to vote for it.
The three-man board was
asked to approve the action
along with the Levy Court bur
Edgar Kates, of near Masten's
Corner, refused to vote.
Their vote wasn't necessary
but the Levy Cosrt had called
them In to approve it anyway.
Commissioner Edward Kelly
expressed the opinion after the
meeting all three members of
the board "should" but don't
necessarily have to sign the
contract when 1t Is let.
While assessment board
members william Pakey, Eel
ton, and Earl Voshell, Dover,
approved the revaluation they
spoke against 1t later.
"I'm not voting. you all
know my mind on this," said
Kates. But he insisted he isn't
fighting 1t either.
'You'll have a Republican
assessment board" he charged
as he left the Levy Court meet
ing room. 'My district is a.
gainst 1t and so am l."
In approving the reassess-
ment, Levy Court President
James B. Messick commented
at one point--''Let the chips
fall where they may"
The reassessment specifica-
tions we're prepared by Levy
Court Attorney N. Maxson Ter
ry. Advertisements will be pla-
ced In Delaware newspapers
and east coast publications.
The county requires that their
professional assessor compile
a list of all tax exempt pro-
perties--something not main
tanned In Kent until about a
year ago.
This will include valuations
On churches and government
buildings In Dover not taxed.
Nobody is certain how much
additional income the revalua-
tion will bring into county cof-
fers but an increase of large
percentages is expected.
The outside assessors are
expected to update and often
bring up to modern replacement

power can one avoid the
hazards of the explosive force
Of power" he declared.
That America has departed
