Preserve The Streets By
0iIing.

1t becomes more apparent every
day that if our streets are to last any
length of time after they have been
surfaced with macadam, then they
must be oiled and treated like the
State Roads.
Every time an automobile goes by
it tears up the small particles OF dust
and stone, whether going slow or
rapid these small particles are driven
off the street. 1t is a positive NUS
ance to live on a street or road that
is not oiled. Then again if it is not
oiled and a heavy rain comes, it
washes every particle of macadam
off.
1t is Economy to oil the streets
after they have been permantly i'm
proved and we trust the new Board
will look into this matter.
We believe property owners living
along the streets would contribute
some what towards the expense OF
oiling.

GREENWOOD,

Mr. George Emmons Greenwood of
Baltimore, frequent visitor to Thur
mont, as the guest of Rev. Chas. ID.
Shaffer, died on Friday morning last at
the home of Mr.. Grayson Staley. Utica,
this county. For the past fifteen years
it has been the custom of Mr.. Greenwood
to visit Rev. Shatfer at Easter and to at
tend services with him on Easter Sunday
at whatever church he might be oftciat-
ing.
On Easter Sunday he went with him
to Utica in seemingly good health, and
partook of the Holy Communion after
which they went to the home of Mr..
Staley. mutual friend. After dinner
Mr.. Greenwood suggested walk and
with Mr.. Shaffer started out for a stroll
During the walk Mr.. Greenwood was
seized with chill and was gotten to the
home of their host by his friend where
he was Immediately cared for. On the
arrival of the physician his case was dag
nosed as pluro- pneumonia.
His daughter was telegraphed for and
she and her husband arrived on the first
train, and he was given every care and
attention but his age and the nature of
the disease made recovery impossible,
and he died on the morning of April Ia.
The funeral was held on Monday morn
ing of this week in the chapel of M It
Olivet cemetery, Frederick, the sew $
were conducted by Rev. Lloyd E, c =
lentz of St. Paul Reformed church, B

UnCoIIected Tax Bills.

Since writing the article last week
we engaged in some curbstone CONVEX
sation relative to the uncollected tan
bills which were standing prior tc
1916 and which the Secretary, Mr.
Creager, gave to the meeting on Fri
day the 9th in amount, S213.22. We
are informed that these tax bills back
of 1916 were the accumulation OF q
number of years, and that the SAINT
were uncollectable. If this is true, il
certainly is highly improper to carry
these accounts along as an asset. They
should be charged off and this new
board should see that these tax bills,
if they are uncollectable, should be
stricken from the books and no long
er carried from year to year. We sup
pose that this is simply a legacy
handed down from one board to an
other. We think that when the audit
which has been promised to be made
of the books, that a detailed account
of these unpaid bills should be pub,
lished; who the parties are, and then
it will become apparent who it is, that
has not been doing their duty in see
ing that all taxes levied are collected.
We imagine that we will find num-
Der of the boards previous to the last
one guilty of slips methods, along
this line. Of course, this will be
recognized as criticism, but we hope
that it will be taken as friendly
criticism" with the view that the way
may be pointed out to the present
board, as we'll as those who may be
elected in the future, to see to it that
all bills that are owing to the town
are collected.
In the item of disbursements as
given by the Secretary, namely; re-
pairs to streets, we find that $74l.62
has been expended during the past
year. This suggests the question to
our minds and should suggest the
same to the minds of all our citizens
as to whether or not there is not more
than ordinary need for us to see that
the electric light plant is not an ele-
plant" being fed with tax money.
Whilst the sum expended for the re-
pairs of the streets amounts to only
Sal so, the expense and repairs at
the power house, including line re-
pairs, ETC., was $11S1 90 or nearly
$3.50. 100. more than what was expend-
ed on the streets. Would it not be
more in keeping if the two items OF
expenditure were reversed? Certain
ly our streets, while not impossible,
are very much in need of permanent
improvement and when we come to
think that the tax payers have con-
tributed this past year $529.71, money
which was raised by the 100 per
$4,000 extra tax placed on all pro-
perty which went to help out the
electric light plant. 1t would be
much more in keeping if this $529.71
together with the $11S1. 90 making a
total of s1710.71, had been expended

FRANK 3. sANRoRN DEAD.

Indianapolis News: The death OF
Franklin BENJAMIN Sanborn, better
known as Frank B. Sanborn, takes
from the small group Of surviving
Massachusetts abolitionists. one whose
career has been identified with public
movements in this country since John
Browns raid, of which he was one OF
the promoters. He was born in 1881.
hence during the antislavery agitation
he was in the fiery period Of his youth
and able to provide his full share OF
the sort of violent agitation which
brought the more conservative aboli-
tionists into action few years soon"
er than they expected.
AS an editor and author or bios
graphies, letters and books about men
and women he made a considerable inn
preston in the literary field. He pass
ed on to the new generation many
of such distinguished
Massachusetts, men as Emerson and
Thoreau. His long connection with the
Springfield Republican as editorial
writer and Boston correspondent, ex-
tending from 1858 to 1914, AFFORDED TO
him an unusual opportunity TO acquire
a knowledge of Massachusetts, men
and Massachusetts history.
He was one of the founders OF the
American Social Science association
the National Prison association, th@
National Conference OF Charities and
other organizations for social better
ment. He was at various times an Of
ficer of all these societies. q
