What proportion of the county funds
or their equivalent in legally assessed
and collectible taxes, has been dissipated
in this way during the past FIVE or SIX
years? Who have been the recipients of
the Commissioners bounty?
Is it not apparent that if all the taxes
legally assessed had been collected and
turned into the county treasury. and az
forwards judiciously and economically
expended, there would have been no ne
ceSsity for increasing the valuation OF
property subject to county taxation.
When the present board of Commits
sioners assumed Office they were con-
fronted with an empty treasury. At the
close Of the fiscal year they report a bal
ance in the treasury of S9,997.S7, and the
sum Of SIS 4l2.0O due the county in the
way Of outstanding taxes, as against
81, I,559.2l current Indebtedness Tin which
is included orders bearing interes.).
Why has not this current indebtedness
been wiped out?
And where does the present reason ap-
pear for increasing the valuation of all
property subject 10 county taxation p
per cent. as the assessors throughout the
county have been ordered to report?
There will surely be no avenue of es-
cape from ''dcath or tixes'' so long as the
tax payers Of the county submit to hav-
ing the public business transacted as it
has been during the past five years, or so
long as the itemized receipts aud expen-
ditures of the county are hidden from
the eyes of the people.

An experiment of considerable in

bility for the more delicate operation
of burning pottery OF bricks is q recent
discovery. The snccess OF the experi-
ment. says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. IS
likely to reduce theccst OF brick max

burner can be directed at a uniform
temperature toward any part of the

Ground the base ot che kiln and feeds
directly from the burner in the arch in

in with the oil. and by the turning of

point within the arch
II is claimed that the use of oil Is
much cheaper than that of either coal
or wood for brick burning. The cost of
