Tax Rate For Rockville.

The Mayor and Council of Rockville at
their last meeting. held on August Sth,
made their annual levy for taxes for the
year 1923-1924. The rate for General
purposes SIS cents, rate for interest and
sinking fund for water and light bonds 9
cents, rate for interest and redemption of
sewer bonds 20 l-2 cents making total
rate of 81 1-2 cents on each $10O of as
sessable property in the town of Rockville.
The reduction is 10 1-2 cents.
This reduction in the rate is made on
account of the increase in the assessable
basis OF the town, which under the new
assessment is increased in round figures
$250,00O.
Included in their budget Of expenses for the
ensuing year is $500 for the maintenance
OF the fire department Up to the present
the Town Council has contributed nothing
to the fire department. with the exception
of furnishing the members with caps, the
department having raised all their funds
by their own efforts.
The Council expressed the desire that a
Citizens Fire Association be formed, with
annual dues of at least ST per annum, and
that all citizens of the town and surround
ing community become members of this
association so that the fire department
would have some definite income to de-
pend on.
The Bailiff was ordered to notify all
garage owners and keepers that they must
keep the pavements in front of their
garages free from oil and repair work must
not be done in front of their premises,
either on the pavement or in the street.
The Council has been investigating for
some time the feasibility of the town 60
ing into the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Sewerage Commission area. and after
careful consideration of the matter and
conferences with representatives of the
State Board of Health and the Suburban
Sanitary Sewerage Commission they feel
that at present any action in this matter
would be premature. as joining in this
area would not better the condition of the
town for some years to come and so they
have notified the State Board of Health and
the Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission of their action.

Entered into eternal life August 3rd, 1928,
in Washington, D. C.
These few words are written in remem-
brance of her whose life was a living
memorial to Him whom she loved and
served.
The beauty and holy influence of her
righteous and cody life shall still be felt
when the hands which pen these lines in
her memory shall have long since crumbled
into dust.
pale hands that near four score years
Have wrought for others, soothed the hurt
of tears,
Rocked children's cradles, eased the fever's
smart.
Dropped balm of love in many an aching
heart,
Now, stirless. folded like white rose leaves
pressed
Above the snow and silence of her breast.
In mute appeal they tell of labors done
And well-earned rest that came at set Of
From the worn brow the lines of care are
swept
AS if an angels kiss the while she slept
Had smoothed the cobweb wrinkles quite
away.
And given back the peace of childhood s
day:
And on the lips the faint smile almost said
None know life's secret but the happy dead.
And we are sure that they who saw her last
In that dim vista which we call the Past
Have sprung to greet her with the olden
speech,
The dear, sweet names no later love can
teach;
And Welcome homer they cried and
grasped her hands,
So she dwells happy in that best of Lands T.

Cause OF Appendicitis.

When the bowels are constipated. the
lower bowels or large intestines become
packed with refuse matter, that is made
up largely of germs. These germs enter
the vermiform appendix and set up in
flammation. which is commonly known as
appendicitis. Take Chamberlains Tablets
when needed and keep your bowels regular
and you have little to fear from appen-
dicitis.
