BY a census Of tour schools in Wood

patrons Of Friendship. Prospect. Plane
No. 4 and Harrisville schools about 90
per cent. Of the patrons favor a central
lied school School Superintendent

FIRST census taken IN the county and had
been taken b the teachers Of those
schools and had been forwarded 10 The
Board Superintendent Palmer and
School Commissioner James Fl Gam
brill, IT,. few days ago made a trip to
some Of the schools in question and in
terviewed the patrons and found the sen
Iiment very strong for central school
In this particular locality should the
schools be centralized. "A four room
building would have to be provided. and
nothing gained. so far as the expenses are
concerned By the centralizing idea. and
OF course four teachers employed. but
then the children would be much better
trained
Superintendent Palmer stated that II
would be the aim Of the School Board

stated that while he had not yet made a
careful study Of the school system OF
the county. with the idea OF centralizlng.

schools, shows that about rs central
schools would be necessary. He states
that he fully believes that BY a careful
system Of ceniralizing. and the placing Of
the central schools at the most adyanfa-
geous points, that the teaching force
could be reduced fully one-third If not
one-half, and that the children would
still receive mucl better instruction.
Mr.. Palmer added that should any
schools, at any place, be centralized.
that the School Board will see that the
children are transported TO and from the
school, and this done at the expense Of

transportation expenses will be very
small as compared to the amounts which
must be paid for the larger teaching
force.

Taxes Roll Into the Golfers of
the City.

Up until Saturday night. approxi
maiely $500 had been paid into the
Golfers OF the city IN tax money. Civ
Register, Mr.. Bradley r. Nicodemns.
declared that tax money was coming
into the city regularly, and he said that
the collections were about on a par with
those OF last year for the same period.
The city will collect in tax moneys
this year more than $4,000. which is
slightly more than last year. because Of
the increase in the taxable basis of the
city. The bulk Of this tax money will be
paid into the city during the months OF
August and lSeptember on which dis
counts are allowed. Besides the money
raised from taxation the city will get
about $4,000 or more from the water
rents and various sources Of supply.
Delinquent taxes are coming il, as ran.
ldly as can be expected, although there
IS still comparatively large sum of
money out Inc DAYS Of grace FOR de.
linqnents expires September I. and II is
more than likely that the Board Of Alder
men will press the payment OF these
taxes. The question was taken 10 At
recent meeting Of the board and The
majority Of the members are in favor of
forcing The payment OF these taxes. Ii is
10 be hoped that all delinquents will re-
spond to the call of the City Register
Tor the payment Of back taxes.
Because Of the fact that the Board OF
Aldermen fixed the tax rate few
weeks earlier than last year, discount
OF per cent. IS being allowed in the
month of August. instead Of September
The two per cent. discount will be allow.
ed only for the month Of September
alter which no discount will be allowed.
The indications are that The collection
OF taxes this year will be about amonlh
ahead Of last year.

1t is no great trouble to subdue

AS they stay in the house during the

keep them in check and to destroy
them if the treatment IS kept UP regu.

with kerosene oil once a week while

that he could appoint tree warden for
Frederick that would be agreeable to
the CITY authorities. In view of the fact
that Mr.. Klein is interested in the cult
ure of trees, and has been in the fruit
business for many years, he is peculiarly
well fitted for this office 1t is propable
that Mr.. Klein will take charge of the
district Immediately surrounding Fred
erck
From now on. no roadside tree. can
either be cut down, trimmed or mutlIated
