TAX RATE FIXED.
City Councils Deliberations at First Meet.
ins For the New Yyr.
CHANGE IN THE FIRE LIMITS.
Col. r W. Wood Was Appointed Street
Commissioner for the En-.
suinS Term.

For the first time in years the
city council had to face a deficit
at the beginning of the New
Year. The deficit is not large
and the exact amount was not
determined at the meeting, but
the city fathers were face to face
with condition and did the only
rational thing--took action to
strengthen the city's finances.
The tax ordinance passed, which
appears below, fixes the ad
valorem tax at rs cents, which is
a raise of 10 cents over the rate
for the previous year. The poll
tax remains as heretofore, $3.50,
and the dog tax will again be
$1.00. This latter item yields no
great amount but it is something
every year and besides it regu-
lates the quantity if it does not
improve the quality of mongrels
and ours that may roam the
streets and bay the full moon.
4 The deficit is caused wholly by
the very heavy expense incurre,l
by the city in handling the small
pox situation last year, and per-
haps not more than half Of the
total smallpox expense was
charged to the city of darlington.
The rest was borne by the st.
Bernard Coal Company, who fur
nished quarantine guards, teams
and hauling and various other
items without cost to the city.
1t will be remembered that
there were many cases, strict
quarantine maintained, tents
and camp, attendants, execu-
tion of general compulsory vac
cination. The situation was ad-
mirably handled and the disease
kept within the narrowest posi-
BILE bounds. Not a death oc-
Cured.
DIR. p. b. Davis was especially
employed and devoted his whole
time as physician in charge of all
smallpox cases. He and the
other physicians of darlington
vaccinated and re-vaccinated
hundreds of our people, old and
young.
The action of the Health Off.
Ger, DR.. E. A. Chatten and of the
City Health Board was admirable
and they are still in charge tc
face and handle any like situa-
tion that may recur.
| The tax ordinance was unani-
mously voted by the full Board
of Councilmen after discussing
the situation and Earlington's
growth and needs. 1t reads as
follows:
Tax Ordinance 1901.
The City Council Of the City OF
Darlington do order as follows:
That the tax for the year 1901 be
and is hereby levied at One Dollar
and Fifty Cents per capita poll tax,
and an ad valorem tax of Seventy
five Cents on each One Hundred Dol
lars Of assessed value OF all real and
personal property subject to taxation
within the city.

aged fifteen and twenty, respectively, who
were walking along the Baltimore and
Ohio tracks. They had been to the Balti-
more and Ohio improvements near there to
sell some Of their country produce. their
father having a farm in the vicinity, and
when walking back toward home they
heard freight coming and were told to
lookout for that train and fast local that
was also coming. They replied they would

the Baltimore passenger train. The en-
gine struck them and, hurled them head
long down the bank, breaking the neck Of

LAUREL, Md, May Z, 1901.
The final steps have been taken In the
direction of securing water supply for
Laurel. The contractors machinery recent
ly arrived, and it Is thought that the work
will be entered upon within the week and
pushed to a speedy close. 1t will be the
purpose of the contractor and the local au-
thorities to have the entire SYSTEM in
working order before the winter sets in.
The site for the supply dam has again
been changed. this time the location being
definitely decided to be on tract of land
higher up on Bear branch than that first
chosen, and bordering the Washington
and Baltimore pike, several hundred yards
from the lake, situated on the Van Tyne
farm Up to recent date an Ice pond
had been on the property now chosen for
the supply dam. and altogether the site is
very adVantageousy located for its chosen
purpose, as there will be little difficulty in
securing the right of way for the laying
of the piping. which will be put in position
parallel to the pike, while the adjacent
land can easily be prepared i'll accordance
with the plans of the engineer and chem
ist. there being little pasture or titled land
from which impurities can be carried to
the stream. The contract for the work
was recently signed by the representatives
of the town, the time specified for it's
completion DtllIS August 81, barring u01O or
seen delays. The amount of funds avail
able for the equipment of the plant is
about $4,000. and with the purchase price
of the electric light plant, will exhaust the
funds secured hy the sale of bonds Both
plants will be owned by the municipality
the combined plants to be run by power
from a central station.
