posSed of all holdings above the limit of

might be done by the ejectment of the

All the claims sent to the commissioners
office during the past year for sheep killed
by dogs have been returned To the justices
of the peace. They haye given instruction
that the claims are to be paid 10y the
school board of each township. For the
last few years it has been the custom and
was made 50 by an act of the legislature,
that the school boards of each township
or borough iu the county should levy all
dog taxes, collect all money and pay all
claims for damage done to sheep by dogs.
In May, 1893. an additional act was passed
which gave the pOwerto lay and collect all
taxes and to settle all claims into the hands
OF the county commissioners. The new law
took effect June /. 1898 The law was not
known by the boards of directors generally
throughout the country aud the boards
continued To lay the taxes. Lately il
came To their know ledge that the power
lay in the hands of the commissioners. and
when application was made To them for
claims by those who lost sheep they had
them forwarded through the justices of
the peace To the county commissioners.
The commissioners have decided that
since the levy was made by the school
boards and the money received by them
they have the right to pay all claims In
aSmnch as no money has been received
through the county treasurer for dog
taxes, the commissioners claim they are
not justified in paying the claims. All the
claims received by the commissioners were
returned To the justices To be given To the
school boards for settlement If the
school boards refuse To settle them. on the
plea that the law places the power in the
hands. of the commissioners a law suit may
result. After June l. 1894, all the dog
taxes will be levied by the commissioner :
