of the oommittee claim th|t they are lim-
ply endeavoring to conicientiouily dis-
charge the duties imposed upon them—to
inquire into the finances of the county

lected and what have been collected, and
whether, after collection they had been
properly placed. Both sides of the ques-
tion are discussed in onr local columns.

RAILWAY TIES.
In the city of Chicago alone in 1890
•105 persons were killed at railway cross-
ings of streets.
It is said that a bill will be introduced
in the Illinois legislature soon to reduce
passenger fares on railroads to two cents
per mile.
Austin Corbin has resigned the presi-
dency of the Philadelphia and Reading
Terminal company, and A. A. McLeod,

is 1,578 feet long, most of the cutting
being through solid rock.
There is a bill before the Minnesota

amine the books and the records of the
various railroads in the state and make
quarterly reports for the information of
the public. The railroads say that they
will not exhibit their books to the pub-
lic, and they will test the constitution-
ality of any law that says they mus.
do so.
' RAILWAY TIES.
For the past six weeks the committee,
appointed by the Commissioner’s Court
to investigate and report upon the condi-
tion of the countv’s finances, as exhibited
by the books of the different county cAL
cials, has been industriously engaged
upon a thorough examination of the
books of Tax Collector J. H. White. The
examination has resulted in the discovery
that during the five years faithful service
of Captain White 90 cents of the county’s
money failed to reach its proper channel,
and this was owing to a clerical error.
But the report does not stop here. It
goes on to state that for several years
past various parties have not been pay*
ing occupation tax as required by law, on
account of which the report censures
Captain White. A long list of such de-
linquent tax payers is furnished by the
committee. Among them are J. M.
Dean, who ae state’s attorney was not re-
quired to pay such tax, nor waa also Mr.
Larrazola, who was not practicing law
but ha*, until recently elected district at-
torney, been serving the state in a cleri-
cal capacity. The oommittee aleo calls
attention to the fact that the Police Gas*
ette le not paying occupation taxes. The
•ale of this publication in the state is pro-
hihited bylaw, though that law is not sn
;*-**•».
provides for such levy
But tbs list embraces a large num-
ber who should pay occupation taxes,

the United States at the end of 1889 was
1,060,164. At the end of 1890 there were
1,135,000.

estimate of the track laid in 1890, in
which Ohio is credited with 235.96 miles
of new road.
