State Tax 10 Cents.

1t has been practically determined that
the state tax rate will be increa sed two
cents on the hundred dollars, making the
rate for the nexttwo years nineteen cents.
In order to avoid further increase and
at the same time meet the demands upon
the state treasury for the support of pub
lie institutions andto complete buildings
now in course of erection, it may be nee
essary to sell the states interest in the
Washington branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. If this stock,
which amounts to $500 shares, can be dis
posed of at par, there will be added to
the state treasury the sum of $3.50, 900.
For several years this stock has been un-
productive, and, in view of the costly ter
minals to be built in Washington, which
must be paid for out of the earnings of
the branch, it is not likely that the state
will receive any revenue from the invest
mcnt for many years. 1t is understood
that financial interests allied with the
Baltimore and Ohio Company are anx-
ious to purchase the states holdings.

For an Addition to Court House.

A large delegation of residents OF this
county appeared before the County Com

house, stating that the structure is made
quate for the accommodation for the
different officers of the county. Among
the delegation were Judge George G..

During the sessions of the court the
school co mmissioners, road commission
ers and supervisors have no rooms in
which to transact their duties, and the
accommodations for the treasurer, the
board of county commissioners and the
clerk of the court are inadequate. The

SIS 900 would be sufficient.
The County Commissioners, after hold
ing secret meeting, decided to send the
