The regular meeting of the Borough
Council was held on Monday night. all
the members being present. A number
of bills were passed, and an ordinance
was introduced and laid over under the
rules for the organization of Board OF
Health.
Representatives of the First National
Bank were present to appeal to Council
to reduce the assessed valuation OF the
stock of the bank from $500 to $500 per
share. The Council heard their state
ments, and also the reasons OF Mayor
Richman for assessing the stock at a
valuation of $500, and then by vote of
4 to 2, ordered the valuation reduced to
5000.
Aside from the question as to whether
the stock ought to be assessed at the
higher valuation or not, the right of
Council to take such action is open to
question. The tax duplicate has been
turned over to the collector, some of the
taxes paid, and the collector will certainly
be held responsible for the amount of
%s duplicate.
Mayor Richman went to Salem on
w ednesday and consulted Judge Sinnick-
son, and he sustained the position of the
Mayor and advised Collector Davis to
collect the amount assessed on the dupli
