Poor Tomato Crop Promised.

llavre de Grace, Nd, August
IO--Much concern is ieit among
Harlords tomato packers. Even
at the best. a remarkably small
pack OF irut will be had. The first
and second blossoms were all kill
ed by extreme heat, and the out
look is that no fruit will be had
until the third blossoming ripens
which will delay the commence
ment OF the packing season we'll
into September. while usually it
begins the middle OF August.
While a few months ago there
were lots OF last years fruit on hand
now theysshave all been cleaned up
at considerably advanced pricch
and packers are looking forward
to dollar goods instead of the price
OF last year, about 90 cents.
Many Of the packing houses OF
Hartford will not be operated at
all this season on account oil the
crop failure. Twenty-eight factories
in this and Kent Counties, operated
formerly by one person, will be
idle this season.

THE tax payers Of the city and
county are taking deep iuteres t
10 what the Increased tax rate
means to them. The people are vi
taFly Interested in how the public
money is expended aud the ne ces-
sity for an honest and economical
administration of the county and
citv government. 1t has been sug-
gested to call a meeting Of the tax
payers and'appoint two substantial
citizens from each ward to 90 into
the subject with a will aud report
at a subsequent meeting some def
mite plan OF action. The idea is to
thoroughly effect an organization
Of all citizens opposed to ring rule
and corruption, whether they be
(reeholders or not, and regardless
o! party utilization. with a view to
nominating for all the city and
county offices men whose honesty
and integrity cannot be lmpe ached.
1t is also suggested that they look
into the loose methods employ ed in
administering the laws at present
and appoint committee on legls-
lation with instructions to prepare
drafts OF such new laws as will
place proper safeguards around
the public treasury, and make it
welt nigh impossible Tor abuses Oh
the part OF officials in the future.
There are many useless Offices
which should be done away with.
These reforms can only be accom-
pIished by the hearty cooper alton
Of all taxpayers and determine
ton on their part to turn the ras-
Gals out and elect good honest men.
With economy and the city run on
business principles there is no
doubt but the people would be as
founded at the waste which has
been going on 10 this city and
county Tor years. 1t is time to cali
halt and the sooner beg inning
10 made the better and the taxrate
decreased to what it was some ten
years ago, which was 80 cents on
the hundred and 1t has increased
steadily year after year until it
has reached the sum OF 20 cents on
the hundred. When you get on
your thinking caps in ihe evening
It SHOULD interest you in the tact
that YOU are one o! the men who is
Interested in the money that is
spent year after year bv the county
