BALTIMORE BUSINESS MEN ON A TOUR.


The Old-Town Merchants Association, OF
Baltimore, is an organization embracing about
300 persons. 1t is an association for mutual
advancement, and to encourage trade with
Baltimore. 1t is reaching out along the rail
road lines running into Baltimore, and ad-
vancing their own interest as well as the city s:
On the 10Th of May the Association will
make an excursion over the Western Mary
land Railroad, stopping at Westminster, Union
Bridge and Hagerstown. On Tuesday last
an advance committee were here and the
other objective points of their excursion,
taking a survey OF the places. The commit
tee were Col. Louis Strasburger, chairman;
John w. Marshall, Samuel l.. Cohen, William
Sherwood, j. George Gehring, Jr., DR..
Chas Beck, H. j. Horn, and Benjamin Baker,
the editor of the "0ld- Town Advocate.
The committee were under the escort of Geo.
R. Webb.
At Westminster the committee were met by
q number of business men, and escorted
about town. The committee seemed well
pleased with Westminster and surroundings.
and several remarked that this would be a
convenient place for Baltimore business men
to bring their families for the summer months.
They were told that Westminster is 1000 feet
above tide; has no malaria and no mosquitoes;
the atmosphere is pure, and cool in the eve
nings; the town is supplied with gas, pure
water, telegraph and telephone, while the
Western Maryland Railroad runs eight trains
a day between here and Baltimore. They
were also told that building lots in the sub
urbs could be obtained at reasonable rates.
These facts seemed to favorably impress the
committee, and when the whole Association
comes on May 10Th may be Westminster S
opportunity. What say the people?

REDEMPTION OF LANDS.
An Opinion by Attorney-General Hord in Re-
lation to Lands Forfeited to the State.

In reference to the redemption of lands which
have been forfeited to the State for tax delin-
quency, Does the title of such land vest in a
stranger who makes such redemption, and is he
entitled to tax-deedp Is question submitted
by State Auditor Rice to Attorney general Hord
for an official opinion.
The Attorney general answers: IA stranger
who may redeem the property thus forfeited to
hhe State does not thereby acquire any title to
It, or right to deed therefor. IF the person re-
deeming the property is an entire stranger to
the transaction, holding no lien on the property
or interest therein, who is not an occupant Of
che land, and has acted without request of the
owner, there being no subsequent promise Of tho
owner to pay, his discharge Of the taxes is vol
nntary payment and he has no recourse for the
money expended"
When rs real estate assessed for purposes Of
taxation2"
made in pursuance OF the provisions Of the aot
shall be made Ia the year 1885, and like assess
ment shall be made every six years thereafter.
rs the county auditor required to furnish to
the township assessor o list of land and lots in
his county aud plats of civil townshipsl If so,
what compensation does he get therefore,
An Affirmative answer Is given to the first prop
csition, with the further ruling that the salary
allowed an auditor by law must be deemed full
office or commanded by statute, for which no
specified fee is provided.
In reply to another inquiry the Attorney-gsn-
eral gives the opinion that the law requires I'M
Incorporated banks to report all the money they
have on hand for taxation and individuals are
sequired to report their deposits. There are
pertain deductions to which they are entitled.
