During the five months that the
Washington County Railroad has been
in operation the Cherryfield station
has contributed S7413.1S to the earnings

A few weeks ago the Ellsworth
board of aldermen voted to commit the
stack of old tax deeds which had been
accommodating for years. to an agent for
collection. These tax deeds have long
made a very pretty figure in the
assets" of the city in the annual re-
port, but such assets did not help pay
city bills. The deeds ran back as far
as thirty years, and many had been for
gotten by owners Of property:in fact,
in a number of cases which have come
to light, property against which the
deeds We're standing has been trans
ferred and the present owner without
quit-claim deed finds himself asked
to pay taxes assessed on the property
long before it became his. The action
of the aldermen, therefore. in commit
ting the deeds for collection, has re-
suited in many surprises to property
holders. and has caused something
very like a sensation. At a meeting of
the aldermen this week several of these
tax deeds were brought up. In some
cases property owners pleaded pow
erty, and asked to have the tax abated
others offered a compromises: still
others are defiant, and say they will
not pay without standing a lawsuit. |
The action of the city will wipe out
some worthless assets, and put some
hard cash in the treasury.

WILLIAM PAUL.

Death has come to claim a citizen of

Mr.. Paul was well and favorably known

izen. He was born in Glasgow, Scot
land, and was married in 1856 in that
city to Miss Jean MAR, who survives

first going to Cincinnati, Ohio, where
they remained a few months then COM
ing to New Jersey and settled on a
farm at Nineland. In the spring of
1884 they came here and built Holly

pied and conducted as a boarding
house. The property is II of the mic

ceptionally good reputation for a place
of entertainment. Mr.. Paul has served
as Councilman and also as Borough

held for many years a responsible posi-
ton as bookkeeper in the employ of
the city of Glasgow in connection with
an extensive abattoir conducted by the
city. He was much esteemed by his
fellow employees, who learned with re-
greet his intention to depart for a foreign
land. Mr.. Paul's native city has the
reputation of being the best governed
city in the world and it was his delight
to tell about its affairs.
