To F,g,.s re New Tsx Law

West CHESTER, Nov. 20.-Unless
indications are not to be relied on.
there viii be lively opposition to
the new tax lay. as enacted by the
recent State Legislature, in this
county. Following the example OF
Berks county, in which test case
is pending for the next court, Messrs.
G. A. Endrich, q Reading lawyer,
and R. !. Monaghan, a member OF
the Chester county bar, are prepar,
ing q similar case in this county and
a pool composed ofthe taxpayers OF
the two counties has been formed to
resist the law. In the meantime the
legal gentlemen above named are
advising their clients to resist the
measure and to disregard all pro-
ceedings taken by assessors as being
illegal and void. The matter is ex-
citing much interest, and the unpop-
ulerity of the law is manifested in
the earnest endeavors of the people
TO fight it down.
