ASSESSED VALUATIONS.
A Lewistown paper in a recent issue said:
"Th unity commissioners are to be
commended for abolishing the absurd
custom lit' assessing valuations on, the
one-third Imsls. Of course ii will be
their duty to change the mill rate in
proportion. The old system no! only
fulled to give the county a proper valu
ation on its wealth and resources, but
would have prevented Lewlstown from
assuming municlpnl ownership of its
water and light privileges, even it the
i -it i.riis had so desired."
This i :i proposition that should be considered
by the commissioners of Snyder Countv. II the
citizens of Middlcbttrg should decide to put in
watcrworks.il is extremely doubtful it' they
could do it under municipal ownership, because
tlie total indebtedness ol the borough for the new
school house and water works would probably
make the debt higher than the law would permit
under the present assessment valuation.
I c the borough ol Middleburg should desire to
install water works now, it would have no alter
native, hut to give the contract to a corporation.
It is probable that the citizens generally would
oppose water works if'it were to be given to a
corporation, while they would favor the improve
ment if it could be put in and controlled by the
municipality, fa corporation puts the plant in,
it would certainly expect to charge a profit for
the use I' the water and for that reason it is fair
to presume that the municipality could furnish
water at a lower cost than a corporation.
The same is true in iheborough of Selinsgrove,
should they desire to bond their town for any im
provements in addition to the electric light plant
The idea of giving a false valuation of property
is wrong to begin with and when it works injus
tice in addition, the matter should be speedily
rectified.

It was a notioable fact prim to Christmas thai
the merchant who displayed his wares in the col

store crowded from morning until evening, and
had very few goods to bold over. It was also
noticeable that the merchant who did not do this
had plenty of time on bis hands. This is natural.
If the public is not informed of what a man lias

he does not invite? The lesson is a simple one
