TEXTILE MILL BURNED

Damage to the extent of $4,000
was done early Wednesday morning
last, when fire wrecked the two-story
frame building on Railroad Avenue,
in Elkton, occupied by the Mann &
Dipple Textile Co.
The fire, which started in the boil
err room of the mill, was discovered
about 1870 O'Clock by resident of
that section. The flames had such a
start that the local firemen were
powerless to check them until they
had practically Quilted the structure.
William ]. Dipple and Harry
Mann, Jr, owners of the mill prop
erty, estimated their losses in ma
chimes, raw and finished goods
would amount to about $4,000.
They manufacture draperies and cur
tains. The loss on the building,
owned by Mrs. j. Will Perkins, was
put at about $4,000.
The structure, built several years
ago and operated until about seven
years ago as fruit juice factory, is
3Ox75 feet. The origin of the fire
has not been determined.

FARM TAX DELINQUENCY IN
STATE DESCRIBED IN NEW
PUBLICATION

Installment payments, closer agree
ment between time of payment and
time of cash income of the taxpayer,
especially in respect to farmers, dis
counts for early payment, and
penalization in the form of rapid tax
sales for habitually negligent prop
erty owners, would assist in prompt
payment of Maryland farm taxes, ac-
cording to William P. Walker and
Arthur B. Hamilton, co-authors of
new Experiment State bulletin "Tax
Delinquency in Maryland With Spe-
cial Reference to Agriculture.
Copies of the bulletin may be secured
from the Experiment Station at Col
lege Park free of charge. The num-
Der is 381.
According to the authors, dis
counts for prompt payment of taxes
have worked out satisfactorily in a
number of counties, three counties
reporting collections of 60 per cent
during the first month of the year.
1t is pointed out that because tax
payments are due in one large sum
it is advisable to have these pay
ments coincide with or closely follow
the time of year when the farmer re-
ceives his greatest cash income If
the income peak precedes taxes for
several months, it is likely that all
available cash will have been used
for purposes other than the payment
of taxes.
According to the bulletin, less
than fifty bushels of wheat were re-
quired to pay the average farm tax
in Maryland from 1911 to 1920 but
more than 200 bushels of wheat were
needed to pay farm taxes in 1881.
