MAY BE A PRECEDENT
SUGGESTION REGARDING FAUL-
TY CERTIFICATES OF TAXES.
Col. Biddle Recommends That the Of
fetal Making the Error Be
Held Responsible.

Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner has made a recommendation to his
associates of the District board which may
result in establishing an important prece-
dent with regard to the losses incurred by
the District through the issuance of faulty
certificates of taxes. Col. Biddle holds that
the District revenues should not suffer be-
cause of these errors, and suggests that the
employee making the mistake should be
made responsible therefor.
The tax certificate question has been
prominently before the Commissioners
lately, and in his annual report submitted
a few days ago Mr.. H. H. Darneille recon-
mends that the Commissioners request of
Congress the enactment of a law which
will make a tax certificate binding upon
the District under all circumstances. AT
present only a .subsequent purchaser has
the benefit of the immunity afforded by a
tax certificate with regard to unpaid taxes
which have been omitted from it.
If the subsequent purchaser should imme-
diately dispose of the property to a second
purchaser the latter would not be protected.
Mr.. Darneille regards this wrong. and
that tax certificate should be an effective
bar as to all taxes omitted from 1t, no
matter by whom the certificate might be
held. 1t is believed the Commissioners
share this view.
Applies to Water Mains.
The recommendation made today by Colo
mel Biddle only affects water main assess
ments, as he has charge of the water de-
partment. If his recommendation be ap-
proved, however, it would be an easy mat
ter for the Commissioners to extend the
rule holding the employees responsible to
all cases wherein tax certificates are is
sued
The case which brought forth the recon-
mendation by the Engineer Commissioners
is that of William B. Douglass, who for
Mrs Allie Douglass has requested the can
collation. Of a water main assessment against
the property known as 1913 Maryland ave-
nue. northeast. Mr. Douglass stated that
the property was bought upon the faith of
a tax certificate from which the assess
ment was omitted. The matter was re-
turned with the recommendation that ac-
cording to the law the assessment should
be barred to the subsequent purchaser.
Col. Biddle, after considering the papers
in the case, has now forwarded them to the
other Commissioners, with the statement
that he has no objection to the disposal Of
the case as suggested by the assessor, ex-
cept that the cancellation of the assessment
affects the revenues of the water depart
ment. He moves that the papers be again
referred to the assessor with the request
that he ascertain and report the name Of
the clerk who made the error in order that
If the mistake was made by the employee
the Commissioners may hold him RESPONSE
BILE therefor.

during the school year just closed.
Several schools adopted free text
books, while nearly all schools having
free text books materially strengthen
ed their libraries by the purchase of
new books. l am pleased to say that
our school boards realize now as tllev
never have before that keeping a text
book library in a proper state of eff.
cheney requires an annual purchase Of
books. Experience has shown that q
free text book library costs about
twenty-five cents for a pupil each
year. Therefore every school in this
county having free text books should
spend annually for new books from
five to fifteen dollars according to the
size of the school. This is very i'm
p0rtant question in school admins.
trati0n; for when the school board
takes upon itself the duty of supply
ing text books to the school, it takes
that duty from the parents who are
helpless when the school board fails to
properly supply the school with books.
Six hundred seventy-seven library
books were bought by common
school districts alone last year, which
is the largest annual purchase of books
made in this county during the past
ten years. The educational value of
our public school libraries cannot be
over estimated. There is no question
OF their popularity among our people.
Thirty one districts have not yet taken
advantage of the public school library.
l trust this number may be materially
reduced during the coming year.
The work of improving our school
grounds is progressing: I commend
all efforts in this direction. Why should
not our school grounds be made beauty
spots, where children would delight to
be, instead Of being treeless, ill kept
and unsightly as they too often are?
This office will in the near future
supply all teachers and school officers
with pamphlet containing the latest
ideas upon the subject of improving
school grounds, and school houses and
the heating and ventilating of the
same.
During the present summer districts
No. 81 and 81 have each built SPLENDID

just completing at a cost 81 a little
more than 910, 900 what will be one Of

times, and be second to none.

ELDER HIRAM MUNGER DEAD.
Noted Old Camp Meeting Preacher
 Passes Away

Noted Old Camp Meeting Preacher Passes Away
 Chicopee Falls, Mass, June 10.--Elder
 Hiram Munger, camp meeting apostle 1 Adventist preacher and old citizen, died | at Sunday evening at the age of | ninety-flve.
 | His life and character were uncom- mon in many respects. Apparently
 eccentric to the present generation, into
 which he had lived and retained his
 vigor from one that already has be-
 come historic his oddities were often only the ways of men of the earlier generation to which he belonged. He was forceful in manner and
 speech, possessed of an abundant dry l humor that often took the smart out 1 of some incisve remark as soon as
 made. He became tower of strength
 as an open-aid preacher, and it was | this that made him noted
 | Rough as he often appeared his | speech itself had qualities that more polished men often strive for in vain. It had strength of simplicity, a wealth of illustration and the wisdom gained from stern experience ill life rather than the learning of books. The man was worthy of the reputation he attained, and of respect and considera- ton from those who did not agree with him in opinion.
 Elder Munger's physique was im- posing enough to attract attention any, where. He stood straight as an arrow six feet one and one-half inches in his stockings. He retained this erectness of bearing till within few years of his death He had stern New England face with something of the Indian look lurking in it, but with indications of the humor that was cropping out con- stantly in his utterance His frame seemed almost adamant against the attacks of time It is detail, but significant that his teeth were perfect till he was ninety years old. His hair never grew gray and even in his ex- treme age he scarcely needed glasses to read.
 Elder Munger leaves generations of descendants. He had eight children, of whom two are living. Mrs. Joel H. Hendrick, of Springfield, and Alfred Munger, superintendent of the can- ming department of the Standard Oil works at Brooklyn. His grandchildren are Charles D. Warner, of Ansonia, Conn, Eugene Warner, of New York, Mrs. Jessie Baum of Philadelphia and Edward Hendrick, civil engineer of Portsmouth, N. Fl. He leaves great grandchildren, Albert Warner, son of Charles, whose year-old son, Earl, com pletes the fourth generation, and Louis Munger's three children.

 THE STOCK MARKET.
Some Improvement in the Demand.

New York, June 10-There was some | improvement in the demand for stocks to-day and upward progress was made by prices but the market was dull and narrow to degree that has not been equalle for two years past until within a week. Dealings continued almost
 entirely in the hands of professional room traders. There was some con-
 certed buying of Southern Railway,
 which easily led the whole market in
 point of activity A single commission
 house was credited with taking 10, GOO shares of this stock. #..
 There was general expectation that
 the monthly crop estimate would make very fair showing of the crops during
 May. This was strengthening influ- ence on all the grangers including the Southerns, Atchison and St. Paul were the most prominent in the movement. The reported need of rain for the cottan crop in certain sections seemed to have no effect on the cotton carry railroads. The recent dividend increase from Chi cago and Northwestern and Chicago,
