BEETLE GUARANTEED
AREA MODIFIED

An amendment. to the jap
anese beetle quarantine regu-
lations has been announced by
the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, effective January %,
under which two changes are
made in the boundaries of the
regulated area. The first is
ADOPTED at the request of the
authorities of Pennsylvania.
Under it, five entire uninfested
counties and parts of two adj
ditional uninfested counties,
which had been included with
in the regulated area under the
recent revision, are placed out
side. This territory adjOins
Erie county, the omission of
which from the regulated area
had already been announced.
The object of the removal is to
provide additional protection
for the fruit-growing area of
Pennsylvania adjoining the
regulated area. 1t provides a
wider area or protection zone
where free movement of in
tested products is prohibited.
Under the revision as now
amended, the area in Pennsyl-
vania regulated on account of
the Japanese beetle includes
the entire State except Craw-
ford, Erie, Forest, Mercer, Ven
ango and Warren counties,
Mercer township in Butler
county, and Ashland, Beaver,
Elk, Richland, Salem, and
Washington townships, Clar-
ion county.
The second change consists
in the addition of one election
district mo. 16) in Wicomico
county, Maryland, which had
inadvertently been omitted
from the published description
of the quarantined area.

HOG CHOLERA In SIX
COUNTIES

During the month of Deem
Der hog cholera outbreaks
were reported in six OF the
twenty-three counties in Mary
Ind: Washington, five; Cecil,
st. Mary's and Talbot, two
each; Howard and Queen Anne
one each.
More cholera is caused in
Maryland by feeding the swine
cholera-infested pork scraps
than all other causes combined.
This last month table scraps
and garbage were responsible
for 8 of the 13 outblcaAs. The
purchase of new stock that
shortly came Gown with chol-
era was resEvnsible for 2 OUT
breaks. lii Z other instances.
neighboring hogs, sick with
cholera, strayed on the prem
ises. Records have rarely
showed dogs as spreaders Of
cholera, but one outbreak was
caused by a mans dogs bring
ing home pieces of meat from
unburied cholera-dead hogs on
a neighboring farm. These
pieces were left where the hogs
could get them, and 33 out Of
so hogs died.
In the Ii outbreaks reported,
369 hogs were involved. OF
these, rs, or approximately 20
per cent, were sick, and 113, or
about 80 per cent, were dead
before the outbreaks were re-
ported.
OF the 13 outbreaks reported,
one was in a herd of less than
10 hogs, one in a herd of 16,
five we're in herds of 20-29,
four0 yere in herds of $685.
and 70 were in herds Of 40

steps be taken to secure the same
from the official or officials whose
neglect made this possible. Second,
That a local law be enacted making 1t
mandatory for the officials in charge
of the printing of ballots to submit
the same to bid of the newspapers in
Cecil County, and also mandatory that
the lowest bid be accepted. Third,
That appropriate legislation be enact
ed whereby election days in Cecil
County, both general and primary, be
declared legal holidays for the schools
in Cecil County; that elections be held
in the school houses of the County
when possible and that election par
aphanalia be stored in the school
houses or nearby County buildings;
that registration days, revision days,
and all other days necessary to cleo
tion be held on Saturday, and that
these also be held in the school hous-
es; Fourth, that the salary of Super
visors of Election, provided for in Art.
SO, Section 8, not apply to years in
which no election is held, and that the
same rule apply to Clerk to the Super
visors and Attorney to the Supervisors
and that appropriate legislation be en-
acted whereby this may become the
law
Summary
Should the recommendations of your
Committee be carried into effect, the
approximate savings to the taxpayers
of this County would be as follows:
Roads and Bridges. $7S,0O0.OO; Coun-
ty Commissioners, Court, Salaries,
$4,500.00; Schools: Elimination Man
ual Training $4,000, Elimination
Domestic Science $4,000, Repeal of
Special Law-Teachers $6,500.00; 1870
Reduction Teachers Salaries $14.400. 90,
Salary Reduction Supt. of Schools ST.
10000 Attendance (Truant) Officer ST.
10000, Travelling Supervisors $3.50. 90,
Maximum approp. 4Oc levy Sos, 100000 |;
Supervisor of Assessments & Clerk,
So, 10000; County Agent, $z.532.0O;
Cattle Testing Appropriation, $2,100-
90; Judges Orphans Court, $1,S00.00;
Crier Orphans Court S112.00; Sheriff s
Office, $2,500.00; Elections, 100000;
Outside Insane, $4,000; TotaI-$212,
424.00.
The above would result in a reduc-
tion of sac in the tax rate of the
County, and would not impair it's f.
nancial Integrity or efficiency.
Your Committee, having fully per-
formed it's duties, respectfully begs to
be discharged.
FOR THE COMMITTEE.

Chairman.

1t appears to your Committee that
the cost of maintaining roads is en-
tirely out of reason. This cost of dirt
road maintenance has steadily adj
vanced, reaching it's peak in 1881, not
withstanding the States takes over
and maintains approximately six miles
of dirt road each year. We have an
approximate total of 500 miles of dirt
road in this County and it is simple
mathematics to determine that each
mile of dirt road and bridges cost the
taxpayers of this County $4,000.
We therefore recommend that our
members of the Legislature be in
strueted to support the Recommended
tion of the Tax Survey Commission
pertaining to the supervision and
maintenance of our County roads by
the State Roads Commission out of the
! accumulated gasoline tax fund for the
ILLUMINATION of grade crossings, or
other like fund, with the proviso that
the REIMBURSEMENT of our jurisdiction
over these roads be for limited per-
iod, not exceeding four years.
rhe course of reasoning on the part
of the Tax Survey Commission in sup
port of this plan is that an organized
State Roads Commission, with it's ex-
perience and equipment, can function
more efficiently and at considerable
less cost than twenty-three separate
organizations. Then too the taxpay-
ers would be relieved of tax burden
of $4,000 with no increase in State
taxes.
There are two arguments against
this course which your Committee
considered. The first is purely politi-
cal powers interested in the disburse-
ment of these funds and advocated by
those who are the direct recipients
thereof, and needs no further discus
sion. The second argument against
this course is the REIMBURSEMENT of
one of the rights pertaining to local
seif-government, many being opposed
to the concentration of power which
seems to be the modern trend. This
latter argument your Committee feels
is sound, yet the situation being so
acute and the saving so great, your
Committee takes the view that the ac-
ceptance of this proposition for lin
tied period is the proper solution.
County Commissioners Court
This appropriation, $12,OOO.00. en-
braces the salaries of the County
Commissioners, $6,000.00, the salary of
the Treasurer, 100000, the Assistant
Treasurer, S1.75O.00, and Clerks So
$4,000.
In line with the recommendation
relative to roads and bridges, and as
logical consequence thereof, we rec
ommend that appropriate legislation
be passed reducing the salary of the
County Commissioners to 100000 per
annum. Our investigation leads us to
the conclusion that the burden of that
ONCE is caused chiefly by the super
vision Of the unimproved highways OF

his English sweetheart, Leticia Smith,
whom he had left behind him prompt
ed the romantic engineer to name the
village after her in violation of his
instructions.
And 1t is this same town which is
today the stOrm-center of the dispute
between Colombia and Peru. Solemn
treaties irrevocably established Leticia
as Colombian territory. But armed
forces of Peruvians seized the town
last September and continue to fortify
and to occupy it. The Colombians are
indignant at what they term an inva-
sion of their own soil. War may re-
suit between Peru and Colombia. and
other South American countries may
be drawn unwillingly into the conflict.

Following is the Report and Rec
concentrations of the Cecil County Tax
survey Committee, as read before a
public meeting in the Court House, at
Elkton, on Jan. &c.
Most of the recommendations made
in the report were approved by the
meeting, it being estimated saving
Of S212,424 would accrue to the tax
payers of the county, and result in
reduction of 54 cents in the tax rate.
TO the Taxpayers of Cecil County.
At public meeting of the taxpay-
ers of Cecil County, held in the Court
House. December, 1882, the following
committee was elected:
Lambert Davis, First District; Rich.
ard Whiteoak, Second District; Willis
Wright, Third District; John Lawr-
ence, Fourth District; Van Reynolds,
Fifth District; VIM. NJ Pogue, Sixth
District; H. E. Cobourn, Seventh Dis
trict; j. w. Kilby, Eighth Districts;
links Smith, Ninth District; Harvey
Mackey. Chairman at Large.
This Committee was instructed to
secure the data whereby an intelligent
discussion of ways and means to bring
about reduction Of the taxes may be
had with the taxpayers at future
meeting to be held for that purpose,
the Committee to make recommended
lions to the taxpayers as seemed prac-
ticable to them under the circum-
stances.
Your Committee organized at sub
sequent meeting, electing Harold E.
Cobourn as Chairman, John Lawrence
Secretary, and William M. Pogue,
Treasurer. At this meeting reso-
luton was adopted for the creation of
permanent organization to be known
as The Taxpayers Association of Cecil
County; that admission to said Assoc
citation may be had by any taxpayer
of said County upon his pledge to I'M
selfish cooperation with the organiza-
ton in its efforts to bring a reduction
in taxes
The Committee in itsSeffort to Crap
pie with this serious problem has con-
fined itself for the most part to the
expenditures as set for in the budget
of appropriations of 1882, although it
has discussed with great detail the re-
cent report of the Tax Survey Com
mission appointed by His Excellency,
the Governor of Maryland, and of local
conditions well known to every tax
payer in Cecil county. We have in
terviewed numerous persons, both as
Committee and individually. in order
to determine the wisdom of the chang
es to be recommended, that unneces-
sary hardships may not be inflicted.
Our Investigations were pursued not
for the purpose of ascertaining facts
upon which our officials could or
should be criticized but were advance
ed solely in the interest of economy.
Your Committee finds it extremely
unpleasant to recommend reduction in
salaries. feeling that in certain in
stances possibly we are not thorough
~ familiar with the duties and re-
sponsibilities the office entails, yet
when we take into consideration that
according to the last census there
were $4,000 Inhabitants in Cecil Coun-
ty, and that our local expenditures
average SIS. for each man, woman and
child in the County, problem is pre-
sented in which sentiment should play
no part.
