Owing to the fact that some
doubt has existed as to whether as
SCISSORS should or should not be
elected this year, the Commissioners
have held the question under ad-
visement until the present time. A
judicial decision handed down by
Judge Benson, of Erie county,
Pennsylvania, holds that assessors
are not to be elected this year, but
the ones now holding said Office will
hold over until their successors are
elected in the year 1918. This be-
