Taxes.
In the Comptroller's report, just le-
ceivcd, the third (Frostburg) tax col
lection district shows up well. While
the first exhibits an indebtedness of
65 per cent. State taxes for 1896 Sept
30, last; the Cumberland district 43
per cent. the Barton district 81 per
cent, and Homecoming 81 per cent, the
Frostburg account exhibited only -
per cent.
This gratifying result is due both to
the activity of the collector, w. Il. G.
Hitchins, and the general readiness of
Frostburg people to pay.
1t Is ii good community where 81
people out of each 100 walk up to the
captains office and SETTLE" knowing
that at least two-thirds of their money
goes to be expended where they have
no interest, and which is four times
more laggard in paying its own dues.
The county treasurer's last report
makes a creditable exhibit for both
w. 4. G. Hitchins, of Frostburg, and
p. e. Barnes, of Barton.
