Bicycles Are Being More Generally
Taxed by Local Assessors.
investigation Regarding Maine Summer Re.
sorts New Corporations Filed Papers.

From the returns thus far made by
local assessors to the board of State
assessors. it appears that the increase
of the valuation of property in the
State will probably be about as much
this year as last, in the vicinity of
sl,500,000. The real estate is holding up
well and If any shrlnkage there be, it is
on the line of personal property.
The returns are as yet incomplete
and of such as have been made. no col
lection of matter has been attempted
with view of determining any increase
or falling off in special lines. BUTT can
be assumed from general conditions re-
ported that the increase in valuation
will be the same as for last year.
The taxing of bicycles is one thai,
since a year ago, has become far more
general. 1t is a considerable sum that
is derived from this source. and it is
the prevailing opinion that its effect on

One feature of this is in removing

NOT FROM SAME COW.
Latest and Very Interesting Development Il
Rlushtli tuberculosis Case.

Portland. July 19--Dr Charles d.
Smith. pathologist of the Maine Cen
eral Hospital, who. at the request Of
Secretary McKeen of the State Board
of Agriculture. examined portions of
the COW that was supposed to have
been responsible for sickness and death
in Blue Hill family. takes exceptions
to the recently published statement
that the COW was infected with tuber-
culosis.
The statement In question was based
on the report of Prof. WEIGH of Johns
Hopkins University. whose test showed
the presence of tuberculosis in the por-
tions OF the COW sent him. Dr. Smith
now claims that the specimens sent him
and those sent to Prof. Welch We're not
taken from the same COW, and that the
i'll feeling and rivalry among the veter-
mary surgeons in Maine are RESPONSE
BILE for the misunderstanding over the
Blue Hill case.

Amounts

The above amounts taking what
may be considered affair percentage Of
tax, 1A mills. returned $322S62, which
was entirely for local benefits. And
this. exclusive of the State tax, is not
likely to be nearly so large as the re-
turns from 1897. at the rate they have
been coming in.
The wheelmen, as a whole. feel glad
enough to pay tax as it insures them
better representation.
The effects of the prevalence of BIZ
cycles upon business is variously
claimed-by some to hurt it and by
others to improve it. 1t is a hard mat
ter to analyze, and even then one is not
likely to find himself much further
ahead than he was before. That many
buy bicycles who can't afford to pay
for them at once and accordingly adopt
the instalment plan. much to their sub
sequent handicap, there is no doubt.
This curtails the expenditure of money
IN the direction OF llneS Oh BeneTdily
we'll established business. So, Of
course, there is no question that there
is a loss. The father finds it not easy
to bay his children wheels, when at the
ordinary pace it is all he can do to keep
them clothed, fed, schooled. etc, but
eften, doubtless. he requires of them
economies in directions which would
not otherwise be made. Thus again,
with the children as the old, it has GER
tainly caused diversion of spending
money, and it would indeed be
strange if a suffering were not felt in
some directions.
The bicycle is an educator and
fresh air one at that, and, IL it's pros
and cons were enumerated in seven
volumes, it might be found to be not
so bad on business as some would
have it.
