Collector Delinquent;
Township Has Surplus

Altoona, Pa. .- Allegheny town
ship, Blair county, had surplus in
its treasury as the new year start
ed because of the delinquencies of
a tax collector.
Frank Ertl, collector of school,
county and road taxes for many
years, was accused of converting
$17,641 of tax money to his own use
over a four-year period He was
arrested, tried and sent to prison.
Bondsmen for the tax collector
gave the township a check for S14,-
500 and agreed to return to the
district back tax duplicates aggre-
eating $S,558 in settlement of the
case. Officials estimate about so per
cent of the back taxes can be col
lected.
With these funds deposited in the
bank, the township was able to
meet 1888 with a balanced budget
and a treasury surplus.

COUNCIL GIVES
SAFETY ADVICE
Ideal Time For Farmers to
Carefully Inspect Harness
and Implements
TAKE NO CHI A y C E S

Now that winter has practically
departed farmers will soon be bust
ly engaged in preparing the farm
grounds for summer crops. Now
is an ideal time for farmers to
carefully inspect their harness. An
inspection at this time will save
many unnecessary delays and pos
sibly severe accidents later on. The
Delaware Safety Council says that
worn harness, rotten and wired
neck yokes and weak bitches make
wrecks. Tongues, neck yokes and
double trees that have been soaking
and rotting in the mud will break
easily and should be replaced at
the very beginning of the farm sea
son. No matter how trusty the
horse, take no chances. When en-
tering the stables speak to the
horse or mule and let him know
you are there before walking into
the stall. If you don't he may
kick you into a pair of crutches.
Jumping on to a playful horse with
only the halter to hold him may re
suit in a serious tumble WeE-fed
farm horses get frisky in cold
weather and cause numerous acci-
dents. It is dangerous and fool
hardy to step out on to the wagon
tongue between couple of spirit
ed horses. What chance has a man
Smyrna times., 1933-03-29

if the horses run? He is absolute
ly helpless. He'll be hurt. A gate
blowing shut on a team can start
a smash-up. Make sure that gates
are properly equipped with a but
ton or hook to hold them open.
When unhitching a team, be sure
both horses are unlocked before
leading them away. Leaving one
tug hitched to the wagon can start
wreck. Have a regular system
for unhitching the team. 1t is Of
ten the man-not the horse, that
needs a licking when the horse
goes wrong.

Toned the prospects there was for
these two Islands and this Western
coast at large. Ialso said that as long
as we are paying so high q passenger
rate on our ferry we cannot go ahead
the way we should.
A short sketch of our ferry system
since it was started from Portage to
Des Moines may not be amiss. After
a lot of strife and bitterness it was
moved to the North End, but we may
let that part go in the dump. AT that
time it was county business, run by
our commissioners, and I might say
here 1t was sad day to us Islanders
when they made fizzle of it by turn

extreme change of political and ma

ten year guarantee that no other
ferry could start. Some time afer
that the ferry interests asked, or put
In as a dun to our county commission
ers, that the latter put In some ex-
pensive machinery In their ferry that
would perhaps cost some thousands OF
dollars. Then Captain Crosby offered
to put In another ferry II The COM
missloners would grant him a show
but the ten year contract held good
But the Crosby offer came In good rs
we heard no more about our commits
sioners granting the ferry interests
request TO put in the machinery they
asked for.
Then when the ten year ferry con-
tract was coming to close II the
writer heard right, our commissioners
gave second contract for twenty
years more.
We had taxpayers suit start some
months ago In behalf OF the taxpayers
What befell that; was 1t because The
ferry Lords paid the Vashon Princes
friendly visit at that time, or was
there highly favored sop given
them to suck2 Well the taxpayers
suit for some reason or other had an
untimely end any way.
When the ferry route was changed
some time ago to Fauntleroy, less than
half the distance to Seattle, was the
fare reduced any? Did the ferry man
agement reduce tiles fares when they
cut down their employees salaries
through the depression? Did they not
show their greed when they put the
last straw on the camels back, when
they stopped the buses from handing
out cheap tickets to the poor ranchers
by compelling the latter to buy ferry
book tickets2 Everyone doesn't want
book tickets, Nor is everyone able to
buy them.
There is lot of things these Is
lands lack as well as cheaper fares to
the main land; our market system is
rotten; especially our fruit business
while the egg and poultry business is
losing business at the present time
There is one feature about the latter
you get cash when you sell dozen
eggs. But what about the fruit? Well
the large fruits, you take what you
want for your own use, the birds can
have the rest; the small fruits you
sell--pardon me for saying sell them
no, you barter them off, YOU don't
know what you are getting, when yo,
get 1t, Or whether you are ever going
to get 1t or not.
No don't want anyone to put me
down as kicker, for 1 am not, but
one that thinks. Everyone is entitled
to fair show. l think most every
one living on these two Islands will
agree with me when say our market
system that we have to put UP with
is rotten, as well as our ferry trans
portation to the main land is too high.
We are entitled to something better
than We are getting, which can be
explained in three words which be-
came famous since the fourth of
March, the New Deal.
Then it's hp to us to try the new
deal. I would suggest that the proper
state officers would investigate our
ferry charges that we are now paying
to cross to the main land and find
out If they are too high or not. Then II
