CALVERTON AND ITS NEEDS.

FEBRUARY Sd, 1886.
Messrs. Editors II saw in your issue of last
week account of the very poor condition Of the
school house and grounds at Calverton, and the
sore need of new house in better location. l
have often thought it strange that the citizens of
SO quiet and law abiding village as Calverton
and vicinity should rest easy and manifest so little
interest in the all-important matter of their chill
dren's education. While many send their chill
dren to the city, and pay the fee of $500, many
others allow theirs to grow up in ignorance be-
cause of the bad condition of the school. Indeed
I wonder at times that the neighborhood is so
quiet as it is It does seem to me that there ought
not be any objection to supplying their just de-
mands in this matter when we consider the very
little given them, not only in school facilities, but
in other matters. There is no magistrate station
house, fire engine police specially for that
place. All they have is night watchman, who
lights the lamps, and a man who takes the gar
bage away twice week.
At last, however, they have come to their senses,
so to speak, and when such taxpayers as John
S. Berry, James Broumel, W. S. Raynor, Charles
Shipley, John Slack Gen. E. B. Tyler, L. B. Pur-
nell, Littleton Morgan, J. B. Turner, Jeremiah
Eney, J. B. Thomas and over $50 patrons of the
school make an effort for better school facilities,
success seems assured. No effort should be spared
and one that will be adequate to the present and
future needs of the neighborhood and an orna-
ment to the village. NEIGHBoR.

THE BELT COMMISSIONER BILL.
Ninth DISTRICT, Feb. I'd, Is!

NINTH DISTRICT, Feb. I'd, 1886.
Mess. Editors The bill presented in the Leg
isature by Mr. Pole of this county, to improve the
police and fire departments in the Belt, has met
with violent opposition from certain quarters like
ly to become affected by its provisions should it
become law. Petitions are numerously circula-
ted by the police soliciting names, but they are
not meeting with much success. The petition
memoralizes the Legislature for an increase of the
powers of the County Commissioners to levy more
taxes, and empower them to negotiate with the
Baltimore city fire department to cooperate with
the county fire department when fires occur. The
petition admits that the Belt WILL in short time
be annexed to the city, and that an increase of
taxes and the appointment of additional County
Commissioners are unnecessary at this time. The
sentiment of the Belt is strongly in favor of hav-
ing the fire, police, street lamps and sanitary de-
partments under just such management and con-
troll as is contemplated by Mr.. Poles bill. The
whole machinery will thus be removed from the
arena of partisan politics and made efficient as
similar systems are in the city of Baltimore. Mr..
Pole is a thoroughly practical business man and
knows what he is about, and he will be able to
present good reasons for his bill whenever oppor-
tunity offers. TAXPAYER.

M3- Rumors of rather vague nature were cir
cuIated this week that scheme was on foot to
have the present Legislature pass law creating
another office in Baltimore county to be known as
commissioner of taxes" and that the man for
the place had already been selected. We cannot
say positively that there is any foundation for
such rumors, but if there is such scheme on foot
we deem it our duty to warn the people in ad-
vance, There are already quite enough offices in
Baltimore county-in fact there are more than are
absolutely necessary for the transaction of the
public busness-and the already over burdened
taxpayers are in no mood just now to be saddled
with additional burdens in this line. Our present
tax law is good one and serves its purposes
much better than anything heretofore tried in this
county. The treasury is always in funds to meet
all proper demands upon it and the affairs of this
department of our local government are well
managed. Where, then, the necessity for such an
official as Commissioner of taxes" whose most
important duty will be to draw his salary of two
or three thousand dollars a year? Our members
of the Legislature should strive by every possible
means to reduce the burdens of their constituents
and they should remember that this cannot be
done by creating an Office for some politician who
may be temporarily out Of job. If they want to
sound their political death knell in Baltimore
county, let them sanction the passage of such
bill as the ONE herein alluded to.

@-Mrs. Bayard, wife of Hon. Thomas F. Bay
ard, Secretary of State, died at the residence of
her husband, in Washington, on Sunday morning
last of congestion of the brain, supposed to have
been brought on by the shock caused by the sud-
den death of her daughter two weeks before. She
was unconscious for two days before her DEATH
For years she had been confirmed invalid, al
though for several months past her health had been
better than for long time before. Mrs. Bayard
was native of Baltimore and was daughter of
the late Josiah Lee, who at one time conducted
the banking business on the corner of Balti-
more and Calvert streets. Mrs. Snowden An
drews, of Baltimore, is a sister of the deceased
In the double affection which he suffers Secretary
Bayard will have the sympathy of the whole coun-
try. The death of an accomplished daughter
scarcely more than two weeks ago is now followed
by the death of a devoted and beloved wife. These
are the occurrences in the midst of human life
which compel men to put aside all other feelings
for those of deep and sincere sympathy for the
afflicted.

@-I In the Legislature, on Friday of last week,
Mr.. Pole, of Baltimore county, obtained leave to
introduce bill to take from the County Commits
sioners all control of the police and fire depart
ments and the lighting of street lamps in this
county, and providing for Board, to be COM
posed of three persons, who shall have entire con-
troll of these matters. Should this bill pass-and
we have been credibly informed that it will-the
Office of County Commissioner will be shorn of
much of its glory, for the patronage connected with
these several departments is matter of very great
Importance to those holding the Office. Mr.. Pole
thinks that by this means the efficiency of the fire
and police departments will be increased, and fthis
can be accomplished it will certainly work bene-
fit to the Belt, which, in these respects, if we may
believe half we hear and see, are sadly in need of
change for the better. Perhaps the new law
will bring about the much-needed reforms.

.Z%-our friend Lindsay, OF the Baltimore coun-
ty delegation in the Legislature, offered resolu-
ton in the House on Tuesday, requesting the
Maryland delegation in Congress "to do all in
their power" for the repeal of the civil service law,
styling it "pernicous doctrine" &c. We have
no objection to friends opposition to this law,
but when he says it was "foisted upon the nation
by corrupt and decaying Republican admins
tration," we feel our countenance broadening into
a deep smile, and we involuntarily calculate =
"Jeemes, what in the mischief are you driving at,
any way ?" We are afraid something has gone
wrong with our usually well-organized young
friend. Perhaps the water in Annapolis does not
agree with him.

The Ohio Senate middle is just as much OF
a middle as ever. There practically two
bodies, neither of which is able to do business
The Democrats have majority of the members
de facto, but the Republican Lieutenant Governor
refuses to recognize the Senators from Hamilton
county as having any rights while the question of
their election is in dispute. The Republican
members make less than quorum, and as the
Democrats have the clerks and no records or
journal of the sessions can be kept without them,
it would be hard to imagine more chaotic legis-
lative body than the Ohio Senate at the present
iuncture.

Mg-The Baltimore Evening Times has died
died the death of the righteous. Its obituary-teg
pardon, we mean valedictory-appeared in the
last Sunday Times. After acknowledging the fact
that the Times died for want of support the editor
frankly says: "a newspaper cannot be carried
on without capital. The Times hadn't any, and
couldn't get any, and that's what's the matter"
But the Sunday Times will continue to be publish
ed, and as it is bright and newsy paper we hope
it may meet with the success it deserves.
