The Town Council at their meeting last
week concluded to increase the levy from
ten to twenty-five cents on the one hun.
dred dollars. This increase, whilst ap.
pearing very large, has been rendered
necessary, 1t appears, TO meet the expenses
incurred by certain improvements, such
as having a new town clock, sinking
wells, &c.
Much complaint has existed among the
people Of this county for the past two or
three years In view Of the increasing cost
Of keeping the poor, which during the fis.
cal year Just closed aggregated s., 500. This
IS certainly too large an amount to spend
ior that purpose In county as small as
this, when Harrison county, with popu-
lation four times that oi Brooke, paws ont
but y Tor tho support OF her poor. The
trouble with US Is too many. able bodied
persons are drawing supplies from the
poor fund. We know Of Instances where
great, lusty men and women, able 10 work.
have laid on their backs and allowed the
Overseer OF the Poor OF Wellsburg District
to Iced them. But We are glad to know
that the Board OF 0yerseers eyinced a de.
termination at their meeting last Saturday
10 put stop to this extravaganza and cur.
tail expenses. In this they will be second.
ed heartily by the taxpayers of Brooke
county.
The will OF Ezekiel Harker, a former re-.
sident Of this county, will probably be
judiCially construed BY the Judge OF the
Circuit Court at the ensuing September
term. IN cause therein pending. The
will gives a life estate to Mrs. Sarah Tucker,
vile OF our tellow-townsman Vim. Tucker,
with remainder in default OF issue TO the
Lewisburg Baptist University OF Pennsyl.
vania and the Baptist Publication Society
OF Philadelphia, "sharo and share alike"
II Is claimed by the heirs OF Mr.. Harker
that a codicil to the will made shortly af.
terwards, enlarges the estate Of Mrs.
Tucker into an absolute fee. As
considerable amount Is involved, about
SO, 900 and the complete ownership OF
the same with right Of disposal, to the ex-
clusion ofthe foreign religious associations
involved in the controversy, the case will
attract considerable attention. lis claim
ed that the devise to the associations, even
not set aside by the codicil, is void under
the laws Of this State. The will and codicil
were made on the same day in 1865, but
the will has mover been judicially con-
strued, Mrs. Tucker receiving only the
annual interest arising from the estate. ].
D. Ewing, of Wheelingand George Shiras,
Of Pittsburgh, are Of counsel for the heirs.
The defense is represented by Eugene
Tarr, of this county.
