The County Levy.

The County Commissioners met on Mon
day and fixed the levy for county expenses
at 50 cents on the $100-a reduction of 4
cents as compared with last years levy. Not.
withstandiug this decrease the Commission
ers have levied 90 cents on the 800 to sup
port our public schools, besides appropriate
ing 81 900 towards building the handsome
new public school house in Darlington, max
ing the levy for Public Schools about 214.
A considerable amount has also been appro-
priated to pay for permanent stone work on
the road between Churchville and Bel Air.
This was an absolute necessity, otherwise
portions of this road must have been abandon
ed for public travel.
The sum of $38, e58. 81 has been levied for
public roads and bridges. The expenses of
courts amount to $23,5S7 .63.
The commissions to be paid to collectors
of taxes is $4,s50 40, or $74.6s more than last
year. The taxes, probably, could not be col
lected more economically or with as little
hardship to taxpayers as under the present
system. The bond of each collector is lien
upon the property of the bondsmen, and
therefore all that is necessary to secure the
county from loss by dishonest collectors is to
see that good and sufficient bond is filed.
Since the passage of this law in 1915 the
county has lost nothing in this quarter.
The assessable basis Of the county is
$13289.9S8, or $43,019 less than last year.
The reduction is explained by the fact that in
1890 large amount of Baltimore city stocks
matured and were paid. the holders the same
having had them abated from their tax lists.
Much of this, perhaps, was invested in mort
cages, which are exempt from taxation, and
the rest placed where it has escaped assess
ment. A considerable amount, also taxed on
promissory notes, has been abated, the notes
being paid or cancelled as worthless.
The total amount required for county ex.
penses, at 83 cents on the 800, is $107 422 IS.
and for the demands of the State, at 174 cents
on the 800, $19, O6756.
The Commissioners, as appears from their
statement, have managed their trust with
considerable prudence. OF course there is al
ways room for criticism in minor points of
administration, but under the system which
has grown up of each Commissioner being
responsible, as it were, only for his own dis
trict in the matter of appropriations for pub
lie roads and their management, as well as for
other matters relating to his district, it
may be said that the present board has done
well. Taxpayers will appreciate even small
reduction in taxes and will not complain
about the increase in the amount levied for
our schools, which are now, In point of eff
cheney and orderly administration, unexcell-
ed by any county schools in the State

Peale, that adorus Independence Hall, in Phil
Paca went together TO Peale to have their por-
traits painted.
William Paca, according to the best ac-
counts, was born at wye Hail." Hartford coun.
ty, October 81, 1740. and died there in 1799.-
Where in Hartford county Wye Hall was situa-
ted is not known, and the fact that the Pacs
home In Queen Anne's county is called wye
Hall" has led some to believe that he was ma
tive of that county, but there seems to be little
doubt that Hartford has right to claim him as
one of her disting uished sons.
Persons who have investigated the matter
have come to the conclusion that Paca was
born on the farm now called "shandy Hail." in
Bush River Neck, owned by Messrs VIM. W.
R. and Henry c. Hall.
