The County Treasurer Bill.

Mr.. Editor | am opposed to the passage
of the bill now pending before the Legisla-
ture providing for Treasurer for Mont
gomery county 10 taking this position L
believe am voicing the sentiment oil large
majority of the people Of the county. Upon
the score of economy 10 the county II &C.
compishes nothing, and II under It's provis-
ions taxes can not be collected more eco.
nomically, what does the bill accomplish
Under the present system taxes are prompt
lv and economically collected and disbursed
with convenience to taxpayers and others
having business with the county. What
more can be asked As the law Is, the tax
payer al ways has the taxcollector with him,
which means much TO persons OF small
means who carry no bank accounts. Ii
taxes are to be collected by Treasurer, In
many instances the expenses OF those owing
small bills In coming to Rockville TO pay
them would exceed the amount OF the bill.
Prior TO the Act Of 1892, one OF the strong
est arguments in favor Of County Treasurer
was that there was no record kept at the
Court House of the receipt and disburse-
ment of taxes, but under that Act the Col.
lectors have accounted monthly 70 the Clerk
of the Commissioners for all taxes collected
by them, and the Clerk under the order OF the
Board has disbursed the taxes received by
him, and we venture the assertion that there
is no where in Maryland more perfect
record OF the financial transactions Of any
county than is TO be found In the office OF
the County Commissioners OF this county.
Under the present system the Collectors
are required TO assess all property lying In
their districts not before assessed. They
possess exceptional opportunities for dis
covering such property, and through their
efforts annually many dollars are added 70
the assessable basis Of the county. do not
believe that this important work could be
as satisfactorily accomplished through
treasurer.
II seems 10 me that the only result Of the
pending measure would be to create lucra.
i've office for one man and do away with
five collectors. do not believe II is either
good business or good politics To accomplish
| this result. CITIZkN.

Edwards Ferry Items.

The Potomac river has been a wild and
raging torrent, and it caused much alarm
and excitement, having brought crowds of
people to this place to witness the food,
which was the most serious one since that
of 1889. The water rose to a height of 25
feet above its usual level, the low lands be-
ing entirely inundated, and the canal and
river uniting, and spreading far out beyond.
The lock house was entirely surrounded by
water, the occupants having to move OUT
also another dwelling near by. The cellar
OF Jarboe's store was flooded, and much
damage has been done at this point, fencing
being washed away, wheat lands inundated,
&c. A vast amount of debris was carried
down the river, and the roads adjacent were
in some places impossible. Broad Run was
for several days raging stream, the high
bridge across it being submerged and partly
washed away, and it, with other swollen
streams, made it impossible for the mail car
rier to complete his route for two days the
latter part Of the week, thus for that time
we were cut off from communication with
the outside world.
1t is believed that great damage has been
done to the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, be-
ing badly washed here. The river reached
its greatest height on Saturday night, and
Sunday morning began fast receding and
is now in its banks. The flood, as viewed
from distance, presented grand and awful
sight, seeing houses sitting in water, and
trees growing, as it were, in the water, 1.-THE
tops of some you could barely see,) the skiffs
shooting around in different directions, and
the excited people gazing about and calling
out at wonderful sights they saw floating
down with the powerful current.
James Dopson's property, lying between
the canal and river one and a-haf miles
above here, was entirely inundated, he hav-
ing lost rick of hay, all his fodder, feed, &c
Saturday about noon, when the river was
in all its fury, a small sail boat was seen to
suddenly glide out of Goose Greek with
sole occupant. 1t played about the mouth
of the creek for while, then suddenly dart.
ed up the river, its sail being shifted started
across, battling with the wild current, shun.
ming the floating debris, and at times being
most topped by the wind and waves, though
through all it came safely across, then anx-
iously expecting to see the daring sailor
land, (who evidently understood how to
shift his sail and manage his boat,) but to
our disappointment he suddenly turned and
was again darting back to the Virginia shore,
we holding our breath, expecting every mo
ment to see the boat capsized, the occupant
having to sit on the edge of the boat to bal
ance it, he being watched by the crowd and
was seen to land safely, and our people
cheered and saluted him, whilst all were
ANXIOUS to know who could have done this
daring act.
Many flocks of wild ducks have been seen
around, and some of our sportsmen have
succeeded in bagging few.
1t is rather quiet just now, beng the
lenten season, and our society leaders are
doing penance, or perhaps enjoying a rest,
though much gayety is anticipated at Easter.
