Teeple Homestead
Destroyed By Fire

Clifford H. Teeple's Colonial man.
sion on the York road, about one
half mile south of Hereford, Balti-
more county, was destroyed by fire
early Tuesday night, of last week.
Loss of the residence was estimated
at $4,000 to $4,000, and the loss
of the furnishings was believed to
amount to $4,000.
The original section 1T the house,
which had more than twenty rooms,
was built in 1850 by the late DR..
Frederick Mitchell. The second Sec
ton was built shortly after Colonial
times, and the third section in 1865.
The entire house was burned to
the ground, with the exception of
four chimneys and the stone walls of
the original house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Teeple and their son
Clifford, Jr., were driven from the
home by the fire, which evidently
started near the main chimney.
Neighbors succeeded in salvaging
a great deal of furniture from the
first and second floors of the three
story structure.
The burned dwelling was the
birthplace of Mrs. ]. B. Fassitt, of
our town.

Cut In State Tax Rate

An Scent cut in the State tax rate
for 1912 and a similar reduction in
the levy for 1943 was announced
Thursday night by Governor o.
Conor.
At the same time, the Governor
indicated that, barring unforeseen
events, he will call special session
of the Legislature to reduce the
State income tax rate.
While the slash in the tax on real
and personal property will not af-
feet the levy for the current year,
the contemplated cut in the income
levy would be applicable to 1941
earnings.
The reductions in the 1912 real
and personal property levy will cut
that tax from % cents per 500 to
IA cents, or roughly by forty per
cent.
For 1913, the rate will be 13
cents per 500, instead of Fl cents,
a reduction of approximately forty
five per cent.
