Perryville.

Perryville has entered the boomer
lists. The first definite atep is the
incorporation of water company
to be known as the Perryville Water
Company of Cecil county. The cap.
ital stock is $4,000 divided into
$50 shares, par value $50. the limit
of the corporation being forty years.
The incorporators are: Jacob Tome,
James T. Graham, Joseph Couden,
Clarence L. Cole, Joseph P. Wright
of Cecil county ! Joseph NJ. Thomas,
of Philada. and H. Arthur Stump,
of Baltimore. The company has
secured the right to use the water of
the small streams in tie neighbor-
hood of the town. The object of this
water corporation is first to insure a
bountlful supply of pure water to
the citizens.
This leads up to improved facil-
tiles for conducting business and
drawing it from other locations. In
order to advance on this line Con.
gress will be solicited to make
appropriations for dredging a ship
channel through the fats that have
been built up with the soil which
has been brought down by the Sus-
quehanna and its numerous tribu-
taries in by gone centuries. Unless
ship channel can be had, Perryville
cannot advance in business to any
extraordinary extent. Improved
domestic facilities will assist to a
limited entent. But if q steam ship
channel were dredged through the
flats the trade of the place might he
to some extent increased. The geo.
graphical position of the place for.
bids either Perryville or Havre de

for coal. But is there anything else
in sight that its powerful competitors
would not lay claim to and hold
fast j? AS location for manufsc.
turing it offers some advantages.
The object of inaugurating
''booms" by the smbushed path of
incorporation is generally specula.
ton in real estate. If the industrial
public can be persuaded that bust.
ness of considerable volume can be
built up at the point where the
boom" is located the hopeful, and
enterprising spirits rush in and com.
mence house building. Population
increases, and il business keeps pace
with and justifies the increase the
value of real estate continues TO adj
vance. The rents of the best loca.
tions rise as the per centage of profits
swell from the growing volume of
business. Vacant lots are held for a
rise which is speculation in land, all
depending on the increase Of popula.
ton, which in turn depends on the
amount and value Of merchandise of
various kinds brought to that partic.
ular spot or created there for ex.
change and distribution. The value
thus caused in rents and real estate
is called by economists "unearned
Increment" because individual effort
does not create or utilize it from
natural resources, but it's source is
mainly the commissions exacted for
handling large volumes of merchan.
disc collected from far distant points
to common centre, and the argu.
ment of the Henry George school of
economists is, that this increment
being created by the community and
not by the land owners where try
business is transacted, it should he
taken-or as much of it as necessabe
to pay the taxes, and the private
property Of the citizen be exempt
from taxation, in as much as taxing
private property is nothing better
than laying fine on the thrift and
industry of the individual.
Of course if this system of taxa
ton was in vogue there could be no
real estate booms or speculations in
town lots, the vacant lot being val.
ued and taxed the same as its neigh.
boring improved lot or in the ratio
of its value if improved.
