Tax Rate Will Go Up.

THAT the tax rate in Frederick city
will soar high next year is known fact,
now that it has been learned that the
law enacted at the recent session of the
Maryland Legislature exempting persons
who own less than $500 worth of house
hold effects from paying taxes, will be
applicable throughout the entire State.
City Register Nicodemus stated this
morning that the city tax rate will have
to be increased considerably as it is said
that nearly 80 per cent. of the people in
Frederick city will be exempted from
paying taxes on personal property as
result of the last amendment to the State
tax law.
cat present only those owning less
than 500 worth of personal property,
as household effects, are exempted from
paying taxes in Frederick city. In the
county, those owning less than $3.50 are
exempted, but under the new law, there
will be no distinction made between the
county and city taxes in this respect.
OF course, the county tax rate may have
to be increased, too, but the law will not
give exemption to as many county tax
payers as to city taxpayers, proportion
ally.
"Some people claim that the new en-
actment will be fine thing for the poor
people who are taxed and on the other
hand some say that it is putting too
much of tax upon the persons owning
large amounts of property. The law is
to go into effect in 1915.
1.-The new law relative to the tax ques-
ton, follows:
Beginning with and for the year 1915,
and thereafter, all household furniture
and effects in this State held for the
household use of the owner thereof or
members of his or her family shall be
exempt from taxation for state and local
purposes to the extent of $500 of the as
sessed value thereof; but nothing herein
shall be construed to apply to any furni-
ture or effects held or employed for pur-
poses of profit or in connection with any
business, profession or occupation"

Last Sunday afternoon, through the
courtesy of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. X. Beck,
the manager of the CLARION was taken
from Thurmont to Frederick over the
State Road. considerable portion OF
which is now being re surfaced.
Beginning at Thurmont and before
crossing the bridge, several wagon loads
of stone were found thrown on the road
bed Persons not experiencing riding IN
an auto over bed of stone cannot ap-
preciate the sensation, but those in the
car are always glad to get over such ma
terial.
Three of such places were encountered
on the pike and fourth bunch on N.
Market street in Frederick. Only at one
place, and that for short distance and
with good side road the entire stretch,
was the road closed to travel
A stretch of road perhaps E mile and
half long. beginning north of Lewistown
and running through that place, has re-

very little OF the roao mas pee' co"'-
pleted, but automobiles can go at fast
clip almost all the way from Thurmont
to Frederick on the newly built road.
The widening and strengthening of the
road bed improves wonderfully the en-
tire property of the State in this section.
Two sharp turns in the road almost in
front of the home Of DR.. VIM. McPher-
son will be eliminated, new road now
being built across the land belonging to
Catoctin Furnace property.
While the trip was delightful last Sun
day, the improvement will be wonderful
when the road is fully rolled and oiled.
This will probably all be done yet this
fall

Improving Avenue.

Early last spring heavy coat of lime
stone was put on Altamont avenue. The
stones, principally on account of the lit
tie travel over them, failed to pack and
made travel difficult. The present Board
of Commissioners secured the use of one
of the heavy steam rollers now being at
work on the State Road and on Monday
night the avenue was given thorough
rolling. While this will be a great help,
much work is yet required to make the
bed of the street as good as that on the
State Road. More work will likely be
done on the avenue.

What Would IOu Do?

There are many times when one man
questions another's actions and motives.
Men act differently under different cir

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy? 1t is
highly recommended by people who have
used it for years and know its value.

Notice To Stop Sprinkling.

Owing to the continued dry weather
the water in all streams is becoming
quite low. While Thurmont has had no
shortage thus far, the Superintendent of
the Water Company, Mr.. J.T. Waesche,
reports the water in the High Run stream
to be very low and but for the water
secured from the springs in the vicini' y
of the reservoir, water would have been
scarce for some time past. Notices have
been sent out requesting that all sprink-
ling cease until further notice.

had been called on the sport merely be-
cause the ice had been adjudged too

The "ice tango" made its frst bow in
Washington yesterday afternoon. and had
been received with shouts Of acclaim
from scores of delightful skaters, when
1t came to an ignominious halt
The stage on which the ice tango"
made its debut was the little pond in the
Zoo Park. There are three inches Of ice
on the tidal basin. but the police viii
not allow skating until the ice is two
inches thicker. and none Of the other
ponds have been pronounced ready for
the start Of the winter sport.
The Ice on the Zoo pond was smooth
and apparently safe. however. and by
the middle Of the afternoon 800 persons
were cutting their fanciest figures and
conSratulating themselves on the opening
of the skating season.
But the situation looked differently to
DR.. Frank Baker, superintendent OF the
Zoo. Dr.. Baker pronounced the ice soft.
and a squad Of the park guards was sent
to drive the skaters away.
Now the opening of the skating season
to many in Washington marks An era in
the years history. The news that the
pond was frozen over had spread rapidly
and It had brought out a varied crowd Of
enthusiasts. There were plenty Of little
