The Marlboro Gazette and the Prime,
Georges Enquirer, both 90 for our neighbor
the Times, in a lively manner in their last Is
sues. The Gazette denies the charge mad,
that extra copies Of the Gazette were sent tc
this county with view to influence persons
in favor Of removal Of the Court House, and
says that one extra, to the Register Of Wills
was ell that was sent out. II publishes the
names of persons who have built in Marlboro
10 the last ten or twelve yeats aud the esti-
mated value of same, which proves its original
statement that S3l, 45O has been added to the
taxable basis in that town since the new
Court House has been built there, not includ-
ing $4,000, expended for improvements on the
streets. II wind, up its article showing the
correctness of former statements made with
tbs slap at our neighbor, This the Times
says is very moderate degree Of progress
to have taken place in twelve years, tall of
which we admit, but it would have been g
great deal less il we had many such obstruc-
tions as Brother Cox in our midst. We have
told you what has been done here in the past
twelve years, now brother give Us the
amounts spent IN Port Tobacco in improve
ments in the same period"
The Enquirer saws "Our brother editor of
the Port Tobacco Times in his last issue,
while opposing with his customary zeal the
removal of the county seat OF his county, does
us an injustice. In quoting an extract from
one efour articles advocating new assessment,
he made it appear by implication that this pa
per said that property in this vicinity had de-
preciated in value. The language used was
THAT real estate in that portion of the county,
nearest Washington has increased largely in
value, while other sections have deprecated. +"
This is very different from aying that all 9TH
er sections have deprecated and we wish our
brother to note it. Many Improvements have
been ma lie in this town and vicinity 10 recent
years, AID Upper Marlboro is very different
looking place now from what 1t was ten years
ago"
Undoubtedly it has been shown by the
Prince Georges papers that many improve
ments have been made since the new Court
House was built but just suppose for
how much greater the taxable basis
of the county town of Prince Georges would
have been if the county seat had
been situated on the railroad in some such de.
sirable and healthy location as La Plata
Marlboro is unfortunately situated in as un-
healthy location as Pert Tobacco, but not
that the towH has increased
its growth rapidly since the erection of the
new Court House.
