What to Do With It,
The borough auditors publish their
report in this issue, and present to the
taxpayers a comparatively clear state-
ment of ths fiaances in various de-
partments of the borough. The dis-
position of the surplus is a question
now being discussed, and the Raporter
in this article gives its opinion on
this subject after commenting on the
expanditares of the borough.
Thers ware collected for all purposes
on 1912 duplicates $26 aud there
was expaaded for all purprsss during
the same period $1687 38, or $931 93
less than the sum collected. In this
total item of expanse is included $500
for one bond canceled, making
ordinary running of
borough for the year but $1287 36
Tae total credit to the borough is |
made up of $2306 84 cash in t he hands |
of the treasurer, and $365 48 taxes
due on duplicates of 1911 aud 1912, all
of which 1s collectable.

Approprintion to the School of Agri

Governor Tener, in his message to
the legislature, said :
‘ The marked increase of interest in
agricultural pursuits in the common-
wealth within the past decade is large-
ly the result of an awakening of the
people to the fact that the cultivation
of the soil is a permanent and depend
able source of wealth, In view of
fact that modern and scientific
msthods of cultivation are now essen-
tial, and that the day of general farm-
ing is passing, no agency should
omitted or neglected which would
'nerease the productive capacity of
the soil. The agricuitural experi-
ment station of the Pennsylvania
State college should be liberally sup
ported, and the results of its investi
gations should be carried direct to the
rural communities through every
possible channel. The necessity for
