CUT DOWN THE CORONER
COUNTY COUNCIL REDUCES HIS ESTI-
MATES BY NEARLY $1,000.
Attention Given to Minute Details

ship Tax Rate.

The second days session of the County
Council was almost as uneventful as the
first except that a start was made toward
cutting expenses. The examination of the
coroner's estimate was continued, and in the
end it was reduced from 1927 to $3.50. The
investigation was a searching one and the
minutest details were not overlooked. The
principal item in the list was that of autop-
sizes. witness fees and expert testimony, for
which $4,000 had been asked. The board
trimmed this by s1,l5o. The coroner had
asked for 81, 600 for constable's fees, but the
asked for to pay office expenses the board
granted $50.
One of the members of the Council. in
speaking of the work, said that the men,
bers were proceeding on the theory that all
the estimates were too high and that. unless
it can be shown conclusively that they are
not so they will be systematically reduced.
They realize that they have no precedent to
guide them and that the first session will
doubtless be long one, but each member
expressed the intention of staying in the
courthouse until the entire list has been
completely investigated. even if it takes sew
eral months. They say there is no reason

because, If it is shown that the appropria-
tons are too small the law provides that the
county auditor may call meeting of the
Council to make up any deficiency. 1t is
understood that the clerks estimate will be
the next one looked into. Several members,
realizing the magnitude of the work, wish to
devote more time to it and begin work
earlier in the day than 10 o'clock.
The township advisory board finished its
business yesterday by fixing the tax levy
for the township. The only change made in
Trustee Makepeace's estimate was one re-
ducing the special school tax cents. The
finding of the board was sent to the county
auditor for certihcation and is as follows:
township tax, cents on each 500.
Local tuition tax, 80 cents on each S1OO
Special school tax, 16 cents on each 500.
and 90 cents additional on each poll.
Road tax, II cents on each 500.
Additional road tax, 10 cents on each 800.
Poor tax. 1 cent on each 500.

OPINION ON ROAD LAWS.
Attorney General Passes ON Them foI
the County Auditors.

Attorney General Taylor has sent out an
opinion on the road laws for the benefit
of county auditors. The laws passed on
are those enacted by the last Legislature,
in their order. The opinion is as follows:
The first law governs the subject of
roads generally. including the election of
supervisors. their compensation, powers and
duties. The second law governs free turn
pixies only. and the third law governs the
compensation for unskilled labor on public
works.
Section 3 or the first law provides that
road taxes may be worked out on or before
the first day OF December of the year in
which the levy Is made. The taxes are to
be worked out in the district in which such
real estate lies, and the tax on personal
property where the owner resides, all at
the rate of $50 day for each man. Sec
ton 4 provides that where man and team
are furnished 50 a day shall be allowed by
the supervisor. Section also fixes eight
hours as days work.
The turnpike law provides that the SUI
pervisor shall have 81 90 a day for his work.
and that labor shall be employed at the
rate of 81 % for ten hours work. But the
Dublic-labOr act of March 6, 1893, provides
that all unskilled labor employed upon any
public work Of the State, counties, cities and
towns shall receive not less thar 10 cents
an hour for said labor. This law does not
anect Work Tor townships. 1t does, how
ever, have the effect of modifying the
turnpike law above cited, to the extent of
the compensation to be paid unskilled labor
per hour. Labor employed upon turnpikes
under the turnpike law are employed upon
public work of the county, and hence are
entitled 10 $50 for ten hours, or Is cents
an hour.
The gist of all these three acts. con-
strued together. may be summarized as fol-
lows:
Men working out road taxes are credited
with $50 for eight hours work for the
man and 81 for man and team.
"iaborers employed on turnpikes are en-
titled to - cents hour, ten hours to

her early life was spent. In 1856 she
married Joseph H. Eastman (who sur
wives her. A few years later they
moved to Corinth, Vt, where she
made many friends who will long re-
member her as kind neighbor, de-
voted christian and one who was ever
ready to aid the sick.
In 1880 they removed to Concord, N.

as nurse six years in the hospital for
insane. The last few years of her life
have been spent with her, daughter,

All, no, we think of her peaceful sleep;
AS her being with Jesus, and old friends

RIVER ROAD.

The OPINIONS potato figures are
TOO small. Our neighbor Charles Rob
lnson has raised lis bushels on 70 rods
two OF them weigh five pounds anC
five ounces.
We have had some bad luck with
horses. Mr.. Leonard had a nice horse
so badly injured in the stable last week
tlatlhe could not be saved. and Mr.
Worthen lost one much in the same
way few weeks since. Horses are
called very knowing animals and to
have strong attachments, but no crea-
ture lives less capable of caring for it
self and more ready to injure its mas
ter than horse.
We had frost here early in August,
very unusual occurrence that caused
considerable damage to crops, and still
more unusual, we have had a frost
every month in the year, with no pros
pect of let un the next quarter.
More milk is carried to the creamery
this fall from the river road than in
former seasons and the advance price
of butter warrants every reasonable
effort to increase production.
We regret the passing of your East

may be continued in a broader field
and the quill still be yielded by an
able hand at the old stand. We seem
to see by whom in our minds eye.

of business men volunteered to testify
in a case that directly concerned others
and indirectly themselves, their testi-
mony being mostly matter of opinion
instead of fact as is usual, the stero-
type question, (electrotpe had not been
invented) being in your opinion does
the public good require the establish
ment of certain thing at given
place? The answer prearranged and
sterotyped was negative, but.the great
world moved on just the same. Most
of that generation of good and strong
men have passed away though few
remain to this day and the incident is
simply referred to 'lest they forget"
Corn picking for canning is just fin
ished on the river and four hundred
tons have been shipped from Piermont
station, supplementing the shipment of
three thousand bushels of strawberries
from the same point. Destiny and the
public good are hard to contend
against.
All is quiet on the river road.
