When 10 Pay the Taxes.

By new law passed by the last legisls- ture the time of paying taxes has been changed from July l to September 1. The old law required that taxes be paid come time during July or August before the 1st of September, but by the new law all this Is changed and now taxpayers have from the 1st of September to the 1st of Novem- ber in which to pay their taxes. The tax bill will be sent out during the month of September and after they are received will be time enough to pay them. When tax payers go to pay their taxes now they can at the same time make out their tax lists for the next year.

Possible Change of Control.

There are indications that the F., R. & N. E. division-our old Hartford & Conn. Western-will soon pass from the control of the P. & R. company into that of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. In fact there is rumor that this change will take effect on the first of August. It is asserted that all the P. & R. engines will have been ordered off this division by that time. The in terest on the bonds of the P. R. & NE, i, guaranteed by the P. & R., was default ed in May, and, if the bondholders ter minate the lease to the P. x R., 1t is probable the Central Railroad of New Jersey will get control. This road is the lessee of the Lehigh Valley & Hud- son River road running from Easton. Pa, to Maybrook, N. r., forming the connecting link between the O. R. of N. J. and the F.. R. & N.
