COUNTY TREASURER RETTEW
PREPARING NOTICES TO DELIN-
QUENTs INTRODUCE A
BILL.
County Treasurer Horace G. Rettew
is busy sending out notices to delin-
quent taxpayers for the year 1897.
These notices State that unless the
taxes are paid that legal proeesses will
be resOrted to and Judgment obtagnea
against properties for the amount due.
AS the law now stands, taxpayers are
allowed per cent discount from the
amount of taxes for any year If paid
before October; per cent. discount
during October, November and Decem-
Der, the face amount to be paid during
January, February and March, and 5
per cent. added thereafter.
This law, in Mr. Re.tew's opinion. is
a defective one, and ac-s TO the detri-
ment of the county, inasmuch as II
throws the last days for payment OF
taxes With a discount IL the hoh-
day season, when people, as a gen
eral rule, have little money to spend.
AS there is always a large proportion
Of persons who put off paying their
taxes until the last day, the county
treasurer is Of the opinion that the
time Of per cent. discount should be
shortened to two months during
on November 80, thereby beginning the
period Of faee value payments on De-
cember 1 and continuing it for one
month, alter which time the per cent
should be added. He will Introduce q
bin to that effect in the Legislature.

THE JOINT COMMISSION.

Messrs. Fairbanks md Fonter Con-
suit With Secretary Hay.
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, a member
Of the Joint High Commission, and John
W. Foster. former Secretary of State.
were at the State Department today and
held long conference with Secretary Hay
There was a revival of the rumor at the
department that the proposed meeting of
this Commission has been abandoned, ow-
ing to apparently insurmountable obstacles
in the way of settlement of the Alaska
boundary and lumber tariff questions, but
the Senator would not confirm it when
questioned today. Senator Fairbanks said
that fresh plans contemplated a meeting Of
the Commission at Quebec on August 2.
He added. however, that it was an i'm
possibility to predict what might inter-
vene between now and then. and Of course
could not state positively that the Com
mission would meet at the time scheduled
He was of the opinion. however. that the
body would meet as arranged. and a stren-
uous effort made to settle the two ques-
tions remaining unsolved.
Mr.. Fairbanks will leave for Alaska on
June /, where he will make personal OBJ
servations Of the country for the guidance
of the American Commissioners in dealing
with the subject at Quebec.

In the reports giving the value Of the
different varieties OF stone in the indi-
vidual States. a gratifying outlook for the
stone industry in 1899 is shown.
For 1898. Pennsylvania takes the f:st
place in the value OF entire product fol-
lowed by Vermont, Ohio, and New York
in order named.
A table showing the value of trap rock
by States has been introduced for the first
time this year. Trap rock production, val
ued at s927. .96l in 1898. has become 4 very
important feature in the granite produc-
tion of New Jersey, New York. and Penn
syivania, and largely accounts for the in
crease in the granite figures.
The chief feature pf the slate industry
is the steady increase of the export traGe.
In 1897 the value OF slate exported from
the United States. as furnished by the Bu-
reau of Statistics of the Treasury Depart
ment. was $3.50, ,1l2, while in 1898 the value
was $1.370,O75.
