who shall Collect IN. Taxes.

Formerly stockholders individually paid
county taxes on their stocks, the corporations
themselves paying the State levy. recent
law, however, requires corporations TO pay
the county tax also, aud the question who
shall collect this tax has arisen between
David Fowble, President Of the Board of
County Commissioners, and l.. c. Trumbo,
County Treasurer.
Taxes on shares of corporations held by
residents OF Carroll county amount 10 about
SO, 800, and the corporations are in Washing.
ton, Allegheny, Frederick and Baltimore
counties and Baltimore city, as we'll as in
Carroll county. The collectors Of the various
districts are salaried officers, their salaries
being annually fixed by the County Commits
sioners, the amount being stated in consider.
alton of the taxes to be collected aud the dis.
lance 10 be travelled by collectors. These
collectors give only bond for the taxes they are
&c collect, aud are not empowered TO collect
ihis tax; NOE could they collect taxes out of
ihe county. Now, who is the proper person
to collect the tax upon the shares. is the
question. Mr. Trnmbo claims that he alone
Is the proper custodian of the county funds;
that he is responsible to the people for its Sc.
curitY aud has given bond for the faithful
performance Of his duties; that IL he defaults,
his sureties are bound to make good his dc.
hcits. Mr.. Fowble, he claims, Is not a bond.
ed officer, and his only duty is to lay, not
collect taxes; that il he can do so, the
other commissioners can also collect funds
due the county; that should any delalcation
ensue, the county has no bondsmen to look
to for reparaton. Mr., FOwble claims that
the board Of county commissioners lays the
tax, aud in the absence Of other officers des-
lgnated by law 10 collect it, the president of
add a Al. a L.
county treasurer is the custodian of funds col
lected, aud has no authority to collect taxes;
that the collectors are responsible for the col
lection Of taxes, aud not the treasurer.
Both Mr.. Trumbo and Mr.. Fowble are en-.
gagged in an effort To collect taxes on shares
of corporations, aud we shall soon see the de-
vclopmeHts in the case.

Belle Grove Park, Mt the West End, is n
lovely place about sunset ia the evenings.
The beautiful grass and handsome, thrifty
young trees, the whole fanked on all sides by
neat, cosy cottages, together with the stately
and handsome German Reformed Church on
one side, and the modest German Baptist
Church on the other, make lovely view as
the golden rays Of the declining sun shed
their beauty over the spot. Not the least at
tractiye part Of the scene are the croquet par
ties who may be daily observed welding the
mallet on tho green sward. The graceful
bellies and gallant beaux, who compose the
parties, are IN striking contrast TO the ugly
stays who club the balls near the depot The
merry laugh of the former, is melolious; the
rough cry of He's singer ~ from the lat /.
ter, is grating to the ear One adds beauty to
the loyeliest spot in Westminster; the other
even detracts from the unsightly lumber piles
which surround their grounds.
