Protest Against Taxes.
A representative body of about 40
or so of Crisfeld's business men and
largest taxpayers appeared before 4
sitting of the mayor and council last
week in reference to securing some
adjustment of the recently increased
tax assessment to which they Op-
posed. The matter was thoroughly
discussed, the prevailing opinion of
the delegation being that if there had
to be more revenue raised to meet the
expenses of the town that it should be
done by an increased rate of taxation
and not by a reassessment. A petit
tion was presented the board signed
by about seventy-five tax payers OBJ
jecting to the reassessment, suggest
ing the increase of taxation instead.
1t is said the petition is now under
consideration with the Mayor and the
town council.

With much difficulty, and with the as
5istance of Mr.. Davis, owner of the !
logs, he was finally able to drive them |
bitten in several places.
