TCorrespondence of the Starl

GEORGETOWN, ID. c., April l3, 1868.
In the Common Council last evening, he
resolution guaranteeing $50, 900 for outlet lJcEs
to the Chesapeake and Ohio canal was taken
up, and after considerable discussion was laid
on the table. 1t was argued that the amount
weu be entirely ins efficient to build the locks,
and hat the canal company was in no condi-
tOn at present to furnish the balance necessary,
which would be not less than S25,D0
A communication was received from the tax
collector, in answer TO a request of the Coun ell
TO furnish them with list OF the names of all
persons who had paid their taxes on real estate
and left unpaid their school taxes, and whether
in any instance he had enforced the law against
said delinq quents, stating that he had not en-
forced the law in any instance, and positively
refused, in language not at all complimen
to furnish the names of delinquents; which
was, by unanimous vote, returned to him as q
disrespectful document
