TUESDAY. NOVEMBER "a, 1922.
A MEMORABLE DAY FOR ALL
HALLOWS

Today's celebration OF the two
hundred and thirtieth anniver-
sary OF All Hallows' Parish,
which is being held in MI Hal
lows Church. Jacksonville. has
been made the occasion for a no.
table gathering of dignitaries rep
rescnting both the church and
State, and the event should be
memorable one in the history OF
the church in this county. The
Right Reverend John Gardner
Murray, Bishop OF Maryland; the
Rev. Arthur =. kinsolving. rec
tor OF Old St. PauPs Church,
Baltimore, which was one OF the
original Protestant Episcopal
parishes 10 be established in
Maryland. and Governor Albert
c. Richie were among those who
were in attendance.
While today's celebration NJ
All Hallows' soIemnizes the
230th year of the founding OF
that parish it also commentaries
the establishment in this county,
on the same date, (l692). OF three
other Protestant Episcopal Par
ishcs--St. Anne's. St. James and
Westminster Parishes. There
fore. Episcopalians residing in all
parts OF the county are lending a
helping hand TO make today's,
event at All Hallows' splendid
success.
The date 1899 is an epochal
one TO members OF the Protcs-
tant Episcopal Church in this
State because it was in that year
that thirty parishes were laid out
and organized under an Act OF
the Provincial Assembly OF
Maryland
To quote from the historical
notes OF the late John Writ Ran
dali regarding the founding OF
these parishes; by the third /
section OF that Act. the County
Justices were required to meet bvll
appointment AZ their respective |,
court houses. giving notice To the |
principal freeholdcrs to attend
them, some time before the first
day OF September following |
ll6ss) and there with the adj /
vice OF the said principal free I
holders lay out their several |
counties into Parishes. bv metes /
and bounds; and return the same I
to the next county court, to be
entered upon record: and \. fair
copy, under the hand and seal oi
the County Clerk. to be trans
united to the Governor and
Council. The fourth section nj
the Act directed that the several
Parishes. being thus limited the
treeholders OF each Parish should
meet, by appointment OF the Ius-
tees of the County Courts. and
make choice OF six Nestrvmcn
etc"

ouneil to the newly appointed

Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1922-04-27
PRESENT Law

County Treasurer Allen, of Grand Forks co,n-
y, commenting on The Herald's suggestion that
the deferred tax law be studied to'ascertain whether
Tor mott provides the best method for the collection
lEot taxes, says that in his opinion the plan Of dividing
the tax payments into two is, generally advantage
Gus. In some measure it does increase the work in
the office of the treasurer, but the additional cost
is slight. He believes. this will not exceed $500 a
year, and thinks it may be considerably less than
that sum. If the plan is$a real benefit to any CON
siderable number of people, this cost would. Of
COURSE, be negligible.
Mr.. Allen says that the experience of Grand
Forks county with the present law has been very
satisfactory. In spite of stringent money conditions,
tax collections under the new law have been sub
~stantially as large as they were before the law was
enacted. The only material reduction in receipts
this year has been due to the fact that legislation
and litigation involved taxes in one particular group
in complications which prevented their payment.
Had it not been for this the receipts of the past year
would have exceeded those Of the former year.
While the experience of the different counties
varies, Grand Forks county has not found it neces-
sary to borrow money in anticipation Of tax receipts.
Collections have been ample to take care of all de-
mands. If more money had been paid in the spring
IT would have been banked and would have drawn
3 per cent interest. The use of half the tax money
tor an additional six months is worth more than
three per cent per annu,1 to many people.
In one particular Mr.. Allen believes that the
law might advantageously be amended. The pres
ent provision is that half of the tax becomes delin-
quent in the spring and the other half in the fall. If
no payment is made in the spring no penalty at
taches to the non-delinquent portion. The Mime
sofa law, which is generally similar to ours, provides
that II no payment is made in the spring, penalty is
assessed against the entire tax. This affords an ad-
ditional incentive to the payment of each install
ment as it becomes due. Mr.. Allen believes that this
provision is wise and should be included in the
