Since then Mr. Cleaver received his certificate of election and has duly quali fied. Unionville, In addition he has been carefully inquiring as to what his duties are and what he can find to do. The fact county surveyor has practically nothing to do jut it now turns out that Mr, Cleaver has no right to hold the office 15 a No elec- tion should have been held this last year, as Mr, Reifsnyder’s term had not expir- ed. The following may throw some light ou this point, “Under the act of April gth, 1890, the qualified voters of each county of this day of October next and on the same day every third year thereafter, elect one com. petent person, being a practical surveyor, to act as county surveyor for the proper county, for the term of three years ; who shall do and perform all the duties, and have and receive all the emoluments, now pertaining to the respective deputies of the surveyor general.” Act of April 17th, 1859, says: ‘‘The persons now or hearafter holding the of- fice of county surveyor shall contioue to hold and excrcise all duties pertaining to said office, until their successors are duly quailfied according to the provisions of the act to which this is a supplement.” This fact has been called to the atten. tion of a number of our attorneys and the opinion that the election of county sur.

HaAarnrissuro, Jan. 18.—The most im- portant business of the legislature this week is, of course, the formal election of Boles Penrose to succeed J. Donald Cam- oron in the Unlied States senate. It is scarcely probable that the legislature will accomplish little more than the approval of the committees and the selection of officers in connection with both branches Much is promised in the way of improved legislation. Many schemes for both public and private benefit will no doubt early ap- pear. Several significant reforms will be proposed and an effort made to enact them into laws Among the most important that is needed, in the opinion of some of the members of both branches, will be an act to encourage road improvement throughout the state. The agricultural department has made strennpous efforts to favor this enterprise that very considerable pressure will be brought to districts In this legislation such bear from the respect. It is believed that a bill will be offered early in the session providing for an ap- propriation that will be sufficient to give a start in the direction of securing a great improvement to the roadways of the state The bill to be offered will be prepared with great care, and ] country will able features in connection with this class of work, and provide a just and equitable distribution of the state funds for this pose embody many valu will special pt Shrinkage of Public Hevenues, The widespread y eroat]y the past two years hi K { reYSnUOs, AN are the in the This lawmak the shrinkage ) aa selin t year yne of the quest ers will have loss there which the most r author next two fu will will have to be made to the institutions the state for gle > ’" ifs r the or the stats A general iu the approg dependent et al years treasury be bankrupt reduction support to keep wit 1its of the revenu Ihe reg at the ance in Against sch w a : i and the sa 3 wire “ n tate drair Ther claime will n be as lar during the past year when { | in round numbers, to $10 xx f this however, nearly £1,000 000 was derived by the collecti 1 the state | linquent « which in» stances were in arrears to the state but the state will yurce to draw upon in f taxes d de is me in in their taxes for several years sve this res 1807. roposal te Levy a Tax on Cond, An effort will be made to enact a law this winter that will put a tax on anthra cite coal of five conts per ton at the mines the tax to be pald by the mine owners when the coal is shipped to market By the provision of this bill the payments would be made to the state monthly. or semi-monthly This would afford In mediate relief to the treasury Ware thie tax levied the a pool bry the state wonld aggregnt 4), (Xx) Another source int real) over § of revenue that will be an effort to rease the ae of 1h the capital It is prog three 1 } considered is tax on the actual va AON « rense this insur mpanies in ax from paid by them 1 tax ta tha he present : 3 yuagition for the ins W of on tentiarieos hin I nh pi ane and pond the I'he the special was emphasized by governor t last annual moa condition of affairs {f the We demands attention © Iawmaking bodies some solut problem ort ro will to in what act ne n will have to ade of ot bs 1 be no further 1 the violators of law Just iH be taken it isd RTOS Hoult w {orveoe Ts tiary | RL consumed 1 . hatidd M : bail or m to nid a new peniten an sxpenditare of f iny about ir to ve years time th the questions that are being considersd at the It is thought by soma of the members not be economy to balld additions to buildings, but that it would be much better to select some point in the contral part of the state and there erect new bulldings Attorney General Needs a Deputy, Attorney General MeCormick, who has been a most industrious and valuable of. fioial in this capacity, has given out that an additional deputy is required in his department. And he says, furthermore, that the commonwealth would profit very largely by the creation of this new office, He says: “In addition to the work in- volved in this large volume of business, the usual proceedings by mandamus and suits against Insolvent insurance compa | nies and building and loan associations, | have greatly increased the work of the office.” The collections mado during the first half of General MoCormick’s term foot up $545,211.18, of which #0175522 were com. IRL LEAS STII mpiete Oo same, are present time 1 £4) the present missions paid by defendants. The gov | | ernor will approve of the creation of an additional deputy attorney general. This ix one of the few new offices that the exe | ecutive will allew. He has given notice that he will permit no more new offices, except a chief mine Inspector and a bureau of geology, with a competent head, to take the place of the geological survey commis. sion, which recently passed out of exist ence. The governor is opposed to any in- crease In salaries of officials It has recently come to the notice of the agricultural department that a flrm doing business outside of the state is working a sly game to market their goods contrary to the laws of the state. This firm manufactures a chesp grade of acid vine gar, compounded and colored in such a manner as to pass as pure cider vinegar Their plan is to send from two to three bar- rels to merchants in different parts of the state, and they afterwards write to the warchants saying that this shipment was sont in mistake; but since the goods are there, if they will remit them a certain amount, which is a very low price, they can have the goods. In this way they are likely to get a number of business men into trouble, as the state is determined to bring to justice all violators of the law in this respect Andrews Doesn't Want the Chalrmanship Senator William H.
