West Chester Local.
The officers of.the West Chester Street
halfway Company say their line is
paying now They have been carving
more passengers than they have ex-
pected to and have every reason to be-
lieve thst they could paya dividend on
their stock in tho future II they never
run their cars any further than they
do now. Tho daily running expenses,
including the electricity to run the
cars, Is more than paid for when 500
passengers a day are carried. which
would make the receipts over $40. On
three or four days they have taken in
over 500, and on last Saturday week
their receipts We're considerably over
5000 The curiosity of the people has
been satisfied, and now they are carry
ing for the most part those who would
use them anywhere. THIS travel even
on the iheonpleted line pays, and pays
well. That is q success sure, and
shows that one substantial point has
been gained for the new Wost Chester.

is notE,aa more tLan right and
proFfr that Tax Receiver Dickey
should be given the advantage of
frank open statement in regard to the
charges that he refused through his
deputy tn receive the taxes OF eOlored
voters at Marshallton in Mill Creek
Hundred, Mr.. Dlcsey's explanation OF
the affair is given in an interview with
him IN the local columns ofthe REPuB-
IIckN. II was rather unfortunate to
Mr.. Dieltey that his memory did not
prompt him to have plenty of signed
receipts for his deputy, but this is an
omission that will happen amongst
/. nll business men.
II it had happened in any other bust
ness calling Mr.. Dickey would no
doubt be the more readily excused,
but happening in relation to the col
lection of colored taxes it brings up
cd times when collectors purposely
Disseminated against colored voters.
Nothing, however, has happened yet
to show that Mr.. Dickey intends to
make wholesale Determinations
against colored voters. He meets the
complaint at Marshallton by frank
acknowledgment that he had forgot.
ten to supply his deputy with signed
receipts. and regrets that 1t happened
In the Newark matter he explains
that there was a rush at the closing Of
The 1--we hours sitting of his deputy,
md the preference was given to the
prt perty taxpayers some of whom
were Indies in waiting. He promises
that everybody who owes taxes will be
granted ample opportunities for pay
ing them, but he distinctly says fol
himself that every colored poll taxable
must apply in person to pay taxes. II
the Same rule is applied to white pol
taxables Mr.. Dickey will be consistent
All the people want is for Mr.. Dicloy
- collect the taxes and every taxable
In the county should be made to pay
The law is so framed as not to require
either Mr.. Dlekey, his deputy or hll
delinquent tax collectors, to call per.
eonally upon all taxables.
This being the case and they are
saved that trouble, no one who calls
TO pay his taxes should be turned away
without being given chance to pay,
even II 1t should lie alter the five
hours sitting has expired. Five hours
Is mentioned in the law to keep the
collectors from shortening tho hours
TO two OF three, but there is nothing
in the law which compels collector
TO close up at the expiration OF five
hours while crowd of taxpayers are
waiting to pay taxes.
It Is very good to comply strictly
with the letter Of the law, but where
taxes can he collected without troubl G
from persons in waiting to pay the II
