Commissioners Want Tax Settlements
Will Require the Collectors TO Close 1905
06 end OF Duplicates Soon.

At the meeting of the Board of
County Commissioners on Thurs
day it was decided to enforce the
collection of all back taxes. All
the collectors will, therefore, be re-
quired to settle their 1905, 1906 and
1907 duplicates by April 27.
Solicitor John G. Harman was
notified to write letters to all the
tax collectors instructing them of
this action. If it is not done the
bondsmen will be notified, and
then if no action is taken the bonds
men will be proceeded against.
This was done because it is not
likely that the court will approve
the bonds of any of the collectors
where these duplicates are not set
tied. This is judged from the facl
that the court was very chary
about approving bonds where there
was considerable outstanding mon
ey last year.

A Shortened Form of Mortgage.

There is bill through the Leg
islature prescribing a form of mort
gage and acknowledgement that
may be used in the conveyancing
or releasing of lands. The Nell
benny measure is the terror, and
looks very much like something
that Governor Stuart would ap-
prove. Although the bill is not
mandatory, but legalzes the use of
the mortgage form set forth in the
measure, or of one substantially the
same, it is the belief that the pub
lie will be gradually educated into
substituting this common sense
form for the antiquated mass of re.
dundant verbosity.
Outside of whatever may be re-
quired to describe the property
mortgaged the McIlhenny form
contains only $50 words, which, to
persons familiar with the ordinary
mortgage, is comparatively small
number. The bill provides that
this form shall "have all the force
and effect of defeasible deeds, and,
when acknowledged in due form of
law, may be recorded as other
mortgages are recorded, and with
the same force and effect. Where
the Indebtedness is payable in in
stallments or to be repaid by the
payment Of dues, interest, premi
ums and fines to building associ-
ton, or the obligation is given to
secure the performance of some du-
ty or promise, the foregoing form,
including the scire facias clause
may be changed to meet the actual
agreement of the parties, without
in any manner impairing the effect
of the mortgage as herein sci
forth. .

Legislature Adjourned Thursday.
0ra'ory and Boisterous Hilarity at Close oi
Session.

With a flourish of oratory, the
legislative session of 1909 came to
an official close at noon last Thurs
day. The forenoon was devoted
chiefly to the bestowal of gifts upon
the presiding officers and chief en-
ployes of the senate and house.
The usual big crowd attended the
closing ceremonies. In the senate
magnificent set of silver plate was
presented to A. +. Sisson, of Erie,
the president pro tenn. Senator
Sisson also received a handsome
china set and solid silver set. The
presentation speech was made by
Senator Ernest L. Tustin, of Phila-
delphia. A handsome silver set also
was presented to Senator John w.
Crawford, of Allegheny county,
chairman of the appropriations
committee.
The house of representatives bes-
towed upon Speaker John F. Cox
a magnificent hall clock, with
chimes, chest of engraved silver
and cut glass punch bowl and
glasses.
The senate was in session until
ASS that morning and the house
until 4:3o endeavoring to wind up
the business of the session. Ad-
journment was then necessitated by
the fact that the general appropri-
alton bill, carrying $2S 900, 900 for
the public schools and the various
State departments and the confer
ence report on the Stuart road bill
we're not returned from the print
er's. Otherwise the business of the
session was out of the way. The
all-night sessions were marked by
the usual scenes of hilarity. Mem
bers sang songs, hurled showers of
bills at each others heads and
marched about the halls. Mean
while the legislation was being
rushed through at lightning speed,
the noise being quieted only occas-
ionally when bill was reached on
which there was a contest. Other
wise the clerks acted for the legis-
lature.
