JOHN WHEATON JOLLS
In another column The Tran
script has published, in raemor
ium, a notice of the death of
John W. Jolis. Seldom are we
called upon to note the death of
so valued a citizen. Though a
New Englander by birth, he be
came a thorough Delawarean.
For forty years lie has dwelt
among us, and has been promi
nently identified with all the
round of the business and public
life of our community. Modest
and retiring in his habit, never
speaking ill of others, without
extreme provocation, he endeared
himself to all who knew him. His
friendships wereheartyand loyal;
his service whether public or pri
vate, was always the best at his
command. The Transcript
joins an appreciative community
in mourning his loss.
COUNTY TAXATION
"On Tuesday the county as
sessors were given instructions
by the Levy Court in the matter
of making assessments for the
purposes of taxation. The law
on the subject was read and ex
plained, and it is the intention
of the court to bring about a
more careful and a more equable
assessment, especially of city
property.
"As the situation now stands
the assessment is not equal.
Some properties are assessed
for their full value, while others
are assessed for anywhere from
one-half to their full value. Tnis
is manifestly wrong. Whatever
plan is followed should be car
ried out along uiform lines.
There is a prevailing notion that
the county assessment is always
to be lower than the city assess
ment, but the fact is that the law
provides for nothing of the kind.
Section eleven of chapter ten,
Laws of Delaware, in specifying
the duties of the county asses
ors on the valuation of property,
says :
"All property, real and per
sonal, subject to assessment,
shall be assessed at its true value
in money. And if any assessor
shall knowingly and wilfully as
sess any property upon any
other principle than its actual
value he shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and shall be
fined in any sum not exceeding
one hundred dollars. "
"This would appear to be clear,
yet the custom has been to assess
property in a rather hit or miss
sort of a way, and there are to
be found properties assessed be
low their "true value in money,"
while others are assessed above
their "true value in money.''
Thus it is evident that a fair and
equable assessment is necessary
and should be provided. When
the Republican majority took
charge of the county affairs they
found that the-tax-rate was sixty
cents on the one hundred dollars,
and that there was a heavy float
ing aq,d bonded indebtedness to
meet. Thus it became necessary
to raise the tax-rate to eighty
cents on the one hundred dollars,
for the purpose of getting rid of
some of the old debts and to
make it certain that a deficit
should not follow. Through
good management there came to
be an accumulated surplus. As
it is always considered inadvis
able to have a surplus of cash on
hand, so far as a county treas
ury is considered, it was deemed
advisable, and found to be possi
ble, to reduce the tax-rate stead
ily until the fifty-cent rate was
reached. Since this rate was
fixed there has been paid out
about seventy thousand dollars
for new roads, while old bills
have been settled, and many
thousands of dollars in bonds re
deemed.— Morning News.

lodge at Redden, Kmeex County, Las de
cided not to open his lodge for the pres

to have a big season next year.
After an examination of his reserva

so that they will become accustomed to

many more will be liberated to take the
place of those who cannot endure the
rigors of the winter.
