ICrer Blnce Jehnsen Mlllei'a tlgoreu lot let tor against the ropenl oeemo tax laws, urged by the county commissioners, was printed lu tbe iNTKM.KiK.icnn, the subject has oreked a great deal of attention. The county commissioners prcsent seme foaturei of their lido of the controversy In Iho appended tatoment: The Idea et having the local tax collection law repealed be that the general act of 18SC should work uiiUenuly throughout Lau caster county was conceived u n spirit of entlre falrnes, net considering the advan tage or disadvantage that might result te any particular district, but the Aelfare of the whole county. In the first place It uiut be romeuibered that the ucl of I3S5 Is new the law for twenty-threo of the Ufiy-otie collectlou dis trict of this county. That Itlsagenerat law, passed within two yfW, and that Its repeal would be practically Impossible, nnd, further, that In the twenty-threo dlstilcts the law direct an abatement of live per cent, for the tlrst Hlxly days be nllewed, and lhata penalty of Ute poreont. be added at the expiration of six months from the time tbe collector bes received his duplicate In the second place neither the act of 1631 nor Its local branches which control the eel eel lectien of stats aud county taxes In the ether twenty.elght districts, provide for any abate ment te prompt tax-payers, or penalty te be imiiesed upon delinquent Ux payers. The abatoiueuts of threo or tire per cent, allowed for a number of year upon county taxes have been entirely discretionary en the part el the commissioners. Last spring, In order that tbe "Lecal Act" dlitrlcts shall be troated exactly as the ethors, the commissioners atter consid erable deliberation decided te allow thorn both en state end county taxes (although no abatement had ever belore been inade en state tax. mid this time it wsb allowed lu these districts nt the expense of the county, net of the state) the same nbate nbate nbate moets as were by law allowed throughout tlie rest of the county, nnd te enforce, ir pos pes slble, the saine penalties In the case of de linquents. Of course, noejeotton was made te the nbntement, but as nym as the ;nalty of flve per cent, was te be added In these " iecal Act" districts, It was resisted, and the commissioners having no way te enforce It, notified the collectors in these disttlcU net te make any additions. .low It Is manifestly unratr te tbe twenty, three districts for the comtnlsslenera te allow the ethers all the advantages under the Bet of 1SS5, when they n:e powerless te en force the disadvantages. In ether words, it Is net Just or right that the owners el two farms, lying side hy side, the one In HaM the ether lu West Cocallce, should each be able te pay his one hundred dollars county lax en ibe nrst uay of Ma, lay i, ir with a check for nlnetv-rHe dollars, while, if they both wait until December, and nav en the same day, the West Cocallce man can get his receipt for ene hundred dollars, and the East Cocallce man must pay ene hundred and I've dollars. It abatement and penalty could be enforced allke in every district, that would be all right, but as in Kast Ueuipfield, Warwick, and ether " Lecal Act" districts the penalty cannot be enforced, then In all fairness the nbatetieni should net be allowed. N"w, with two laws epTatlng in this way, en May 1, the West Cocalieo man must pay ene hundred dollars, while the E!st Cocallce man pays only niuoty-Hie dollars ; while en Decetntmr 1, the West Cocallce man nitty still satisfy the collector's demand with one hundred dollars, but tbe Lsit Cocallce man must pay ene hundred nnd flve dollars, ten dollars mere than would hate been sufficient seven mouths befere ; uovertholoss the aver avor age Is the same, nud nothing fairer can be dene under existing laws A misunderstanding In regard te the pay of collectors under the act or liS5 has been circulated, Hnd gained souie headway; the fact is that they received I ut two per cent, upon all taxes paid in the Qrst sixty days, aud file cr "cent, en the balance. The books or this otllce show for ISStJ a total slate aud county tax ley of JaOO,P03 01, of which 239,010 60, nbeut four tlflhs of the whole levy, was paid during the first sixty days; without making au alie a unce for exoueratleus, en which the collector, et course, recehea no cemmissi in, this shows that the average commission would have been two nnd three-fifths per cent rer 1SS3, and making the allowauce ter exonerations it would reduce it te net en" cent mero than two nud oue half per cent. Sill Lury, under Its local law, new pays 3 per -nt. ; Lancas ter township, 2)4 per cunt. , Crornarien, S per cent (the school beard getttng nothing) j .Marietta, t per cent; West HeinpUeld, t per cent, j aud even Warwick pay 1 , percent.
