coal shed and contents containing about
fifteen thousand tons OF coal for the
non-payment of taxes. A man With q
mule whose age had every indication of
two score, attached to Il cart, apparent
~ about the same age, began The remoy-
al OF the coal from the bin. The railroad
company, by it's attorneys, appeared be
fore Judge GoodIand and asked that the
attachment be dissolved and Oil iniunc-
ton granted restraining the officersfrom
removing their property. Judge Good
land granted the injunction, und the man
WHO had ceaselessly worked with his

had made no noticeable depression on

from further attempting the removal Of

Supreme Court which touched upon the
constitutlonaIity of the Blanket Legis-
lation." The question was not brought
sqnarely before the Court and was there
fore not decided in that case, butths
Court, in rendering its decision, intimat-
ed very strongly that.this special legisla-
ton limiting the amount .of taxes to be-
raised, was unconstitutional. Prompt
ed by the intimation OF the Supreme
Court i'll the case referred to, the County
Board, atits last annual meeting, rath-
er ignored thelines drawn by the Blank
at Legislators and levied county tax
OF something like $4,000.
AS u result every lalge tax payer III
our neighboring county, with only one
exception, refused to pay their taxes and
the Courts are now called upon to settle
the question Of validity as to the county
boards levy. The tax collectors are
laboring zealously to collect the tax, but
as yet have not been very successful.

FOREST COUNTY TAX TROUBLES
Blanket Legislation.

Forest county, ever since it's organiza-
ton, has been retarded in progress and
development by what is commonly
known as Blanket Legisla ton. The
greater part Of the valuable lands in
Forest County is owned by residents.
These non-residents have from time to
time ever since the organization OF the
county managed to getspecial acts passed
by the State Legislature restricting the
amount OF tax to be raised in the differ
ent towns Of the county, and also re-
stricting the County Board from raising
more than certain amounts for county
purposes. These special Legislative acts
passed by the Legislature is what is
known as BLANKET Legislation"
BY reason of these special acts, the
amounts which the electors We're allow
ed to raised by tax in the several towns
and county have always been small, and
have proven to be inadequate to the
proper advancement of the county. AS
y result, the highways have been poor
and but few of them, and even the COM
mon schools have suffered for want of
funds.
Lastssummer q case Was taken to the

Fire Alarm System.
Instructions as to Giving Alarm.

Last Saturday the village Board, nc
cepted the fire alarm system as putin by
| Frank Beardsley.
The system consists of two eight inch
mechanical gongs, one at the water
works plant, the other at the town hall,
two alarm boxes, one situated at Dickin-
son ( Cooks corner, the other on the
west side Of Beardsleys drug store, con
nqcted by the usual wires. A key box
with glass front, containing key to the
alarm box, is act just at the left OF each
alarm In-case of fire the glass i'll the
front of key box is to be broken, the key,
which is attached to chain taken out
and with it unlock the alarm box, turn
crank to right, Immediately let go the
crank, and the alarm is turned in.
The system was given thorough test
Saturday by our city fathers and worked
satisfactorily, in fact much better than
was expected The total expense Of the
system is about $14O. Of which $35. was
expended for labor. Mr.. Beardsley de-
serves credit for the work. Had the
town been compelled to get regular
electrician to DIS the work thecost would
undoubtedly doubled the present one.
Although he never before undertook a
contract of this kind. observation-disclosures
teal knowledge as to it's workings, nor
did he ever examine a like system, but
following the maxim where there's a
will there's a way accomplishment was
his reward.
ri the town board think it advisable,
different alarms will be given, as to what
portion Of the village the fire is located.
| Should this be done, the DEMOCRAT will
publish the different alarms, SO that our
citizens may become familiar with same.
