COUNTY LEVY STRUCK.

The Board of County Com
mlssioners met at their office in
Snow Hill on Tuesday TO fix the
levy for the year 1905 The
books of the office, including all
accounts and funds paid out
since the last levy, were eX-
amined down 90 the minutest
detail The county atfa'.s at
present and tiuancia conditions
generally were found to be in
a very healthy condition The
resources Of the county, that is,
money due from tax collectors
and money advanced for
permanent road improvements,
were found to exceed all the
Liabilities of the county. The
levy was struck at $l.l5 for the
year 1905. an increase over the
last y ear occasioned BY circum-
stances over which the County
Commissioner had no control
The increase was occaSioned
almost entirely bv the amount
absolutely necessary to rum the
schools OF Worcester County
the time required To secure the
State appropriation for schools
The county has been receiv-
ing about Is, 200 annually from
liquor licenses which will not
hereafter be received. To meet
this shortage levy Of 5000 had
to be made for the present year
as we'll as for next year, thus
making a $4,000 levy this year.
which amount is double what
9ili-h'-nrcessary hereafter
Two remarkably wet years
have caused a necessary tx
penditure of more money on
county roads than any time in
the history Of the county An
extra election also had to be pro-
vided for in this levy
The general appropriation for
Roads was placed at $4,000
Although the levy includes
$50, 800 for schools, the amount
Of money required for the whole
expenses OF the county is less
than any county on the Eastern
Shore of Maryland. Some of the
counties no larger than Worces
ter had expenses Of 93o,o0Jmore
than this county.
4 \ comparison Of the levies
for the past ten years shows the
ije just made to be > cents
higher than any other year,
but when it IS taken into con
sideration that the amount
heretofore received from liquor
license for TWO years and
special election has been provid-
ed for it is reasonable to expect
a reduction in the levy next.

his duties, but complications set in. and
last Sunday he was removed to the hos.

FOGYISM RETARDS PROGRESS
Penuriousness Of Old Settlers 10
Likely to Cost WInnemucca
a Terminal Site.

Because two antiquarians, settlers as
old as the proverbial Methuselah, will
not grant the Western Pacific the right
of way over their land, the new road
may not even touch the town of Winnie
mucca, as at first supposed. A new
station, northeast of the Humboldt
county seat. will be established by the
railroad officials unless there is some
understanding with the troublemakers,
according to an official.
Everybody else in Winnemucca will
ingly granted the use of their land to
the Western Pacific. Visions of yards
and shops filled the minds of the towns
people, and boom was predicted.
The whole thing was shattered when
the settlers put legal fence around
their property and told the Western
Pacific they'd none of it.
1t looks like trouble for the grandpas.
