Mahoning Greek Foul and Stagnant.

There is marked prevalence of
fever and ague along West Mahoning
street, especially among children,
which is attributed directly to the foul
condition of Mahoning creek at that
point. Heretofore wholesale execra-
tion has been poured out upon Biz
Yards run, as if in the pollution of
our town it was the head and front of
all offenders. As matter of fact no
matter how radical the measures ad
opted looking to the cleansing of Biz
zard' 3 run the sanitation of our town
would be but little improved without
some attention to Mahoning Greek
This stream as it passes through town
becomes an immense receptacle of
filth, receiving not only the foul mat
ter discharged from Billiards. s run,
but also the deleterious contents Of
sewers and cesspools at different points
AT times of frequent rain the current
carries off great deal of the sew
age, etc, but when as at present the
stream is low the water loaded with
the foul and noxious matter has scarce
ly any motion and becomes stagnant
and reeky with nauseating odors.
Under the circumstances nothing more
could be expected than that unhealthy
exhalations should arise from the
stream producing not only fever and
ague, but fevers of more malignant
type.
Mahoning Greek is rank nuisance
within itself and should not be
lost sight of in agitating better santa
tion for the borough.

TAX RATE AND
DEBT REDUCED
Good Showing Made by the Retiring
Board Of County Commissioners.

| Montour county, 1t Is true, Is a
diminutive division of the common
wealth and in this connection it is
| gratifying to note that its debt is cor
respondingly small, thanks to the
economy and the good business methods
employed by the retiring County Com
missioners The record of the board 5
| action during the six years past forms
a very interesting'chapter of the coun-
| tvs history as relates to its finances.
When the present board went into
Office the tax rate was 10 mills on the
| old valuation. The board after careful
| investigation reduced the rate one
mill, or 10 per cent From the pro-
ceedS three new iron bridges were
| built and several others including the
| river bridge, Ca new factor in the eX-
pense accoUnD were repaired and in
addition $1,000 were paid on the county
| Indebtedness.
of one mill was made and $1,000 paid
on the county Indebtedness.
On the third year the rate was re-
duced to I mills, being a reduction of
80 per cent. Two new bridges were
built and several old ones repaired,
while as i'll the two preceding years
the county Indebtedness was reduced
$1,000.
During the next year with tax rate
of mills three new iron bridges were
built, besides very thorough repairing
of the old ones and $1,000 was paid on
the county indebtedness.
On the following year as per order
of the Court the assessors were in
structed to assess i'll accordance with
the law and as this increased the valua-
tion about 2la times the rate was cor
respondingly reduced to 3 mills and
$1,000 paid on the Indebtedness
During the present year the same
rate-3 mills-is III force, while the
same reduction of $4,000 brings the
total amount of county indebted
| ness paid off up to $24, 900, thus
wiping out entirely the debt on the
Jail and fully one-half of the debt on
the river bridge, and this i'll face of
the extraordinary costs of the Courts
in 1901, there being six terms with an
| expense of Sc, 800, double that of any
previous year.

George Schaub, we'll known German
citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is n con
slant reader of the Dayton VolkSzedtuHg.
He knows that this paper aims to adver

The Wrong WnN.

Fathers and mothers who do not know
how and where their sons and especial
ly their young daughters spend their
evenings are guilty of negligence that
is little short of criminal and that, too,
often leads to sad consequences. The
American habit of letting the young
folks have their own way in chOos-
ing their associates and methods of re-
creation is responsible in every city for
a good deal of evil that might be pre-
vented by parental firmncss judlclously
