Parocbial School Commencement

Altogether the eighteenth annual
commencement of st. Michael's Paro-
chial School was "A splendid affair.
The programme, seemingly lengthy,
was rendered without intermlsslOns of
undue length, and there was no long
winded work for the outside orchestra.
"School- Room Trials We're tearfully
recited by Miss Margaret McAteer, and
her catchy phrases. characteristic OF the
juvenile idea of "the hardest time ever, "
caught the sympathy of all.
The dialogue-"Little Philosophers, "

Margaret Byrnes, and How to Live
Long" by Charles Shields, and Joan of

The Finding OF Moses''-a drama in
which seven misses and two masters
figured, was in costume and feminine

Miss Kathleen +. Wolfe delivered the

Indeed, this was one of the best efforts
of the occasion.
Rev. S. j. Clarke, pastor, conferred
the hOnors of graduation and awarded
the premiums, and Rev. J. 5. Cuddy
closed the exercises with an address
cogently and earnestly expressed.

LOCAL CORREsPONDENCE.
An Interesting Letter.

FRosTEURG, Mp. June 80 1909.
To the MINING Journal.
Several weeks ago there was Il criticism
in the JOURNAL of the crowded condl-
ton of the Town Assessment Book,
coupled with suggestion that a new
book should be procured.
But at that time new books had al
ready been ordered 1.-TWO instead of one
and they were on hand about two weeks
before the assessors had completed their
work for this year, and n0T, after four
weeks of almost incessant labor. the
name of every tax payer and statement
in detail of all real and personal prop
erty, as well as stocks, assessed to him,
are therein recorded and arranged i'll
alphabetical order.
The total amount of assessment for
the current year-l909-lO, is S2,941 DOG. -,
and the tax. at 30 cents on each 500, is,
therefore, $l4, 1913. while the assess
ment last year was S2914, ,455. II, show
ing an apparent loss of $26 ,94S.36 of
valuations and Sl3i Il i'll taxes.
| say the loss is apparent, because a
large amount of "insolvent" stuff has
been carried on the books for some time.
Thus, for instance, list of names,
dDoul lDD III tIhl ECU w lIii E'i ~
taxes, were allowed 'insolvent" last
year. SO that, instead of an apparent
loss, there is real gain, though small.
AS these names and amounts have
been eliminated i'll making up the new
books, it is believed the list of inSOlven-
cles this year will be very few i'll num-
Der and small i'll amount.
The number of aX-payers' names,
,1,,l hot ,.1l ,tnt nI nd Re
assessed against each, are as follows:

Questions.

From Mr.. Metzger's table it is learned
that the average amount assessed for
C cJrporate taxes to each of the /, ,496 tax
payers is $l,91O.26.
His letter recalls also point male by
an Eckhart correspondent several weeks
ago, namely-are taxes the only source
OF county revenue?
Furthermore is reminded of the
towns annual report, wherein the clerk
gives account of both receipts and eX-
penditures of the source and amounts
of revenue-taXes, fines, licenses, etc,
and of names to whom and on what
account diSbursed.
The county's annual levy list, how
ever, conveys only the fact, and that by
implication, that 50 much has been or is
to be expended for certain purposes
mentioned, and that the tax rate is fixed
accordingly.
Which raised the question in the Eek
hart mans mind has the county out
side of tax no other source of revenue
from licenses, fees, fines, etc?
If it has, why are they not clearly and
fully reported:
And to what purposes are they ap-
proprlated:
Lastly-if not, why not?
