Honesdale Borough Bills Canine Race Threatened

COItPOHATIOXS l'AY OXK-HAM''
OK AMj rilU TAXES HEItE AS
KliSEWIIEKE.
Just four brand new One Dollar
Bills! That's, approximately, what It
cost each one of the more than 800
oters in the borough of Honesdale as
his share of the cost of rebuilding
tho streets of the County Seat last
Summer.
For the privilege of walking light
ed streets by night he paid Three
Dollars more. For flro protection
ho handed over to the tax collector
another dollar and n quarter. Police
protection was his at about the same
price. For other incidentals ho
coughed up another Five Dollar
Bill.
This last Five Dollar Bill did yeo
man service. Tramps, panhandlers,
dusty followers of the road, wander
ing up and down tho hills and dales
of Wayne, liked tho looks of things
from Irving Cliff and decided to tar
ry in the County .Seat over night.
They wero strangers, and Sheriff M.
Leo Braman took them in. The
trees of Honesdale town sickened
and died. To prevent any further
decrease In tho number of tho elm
and maple trees for which tho town
of Hone is famous, arboreal surgeons
were sent for. They went through
the city from end en end, cutting
off dead limbs here, Pasteurizing de
cayed trunks there, and everywhere
injecting new life Into the veins of
the lofty sun-shields. Most of the
expense of this surgical work was
borno by Individual taxpayers. But
'the Town Council gave Twenty-Five
Dollars towards this worthy project.
Memorial Day is a great day at the
County Seat, if not the greatest day
in the year. Business Is suspended.
Shops and factories shut down. Men,
women and children pause in the
ljurry and bustle of life to devote ono
day to honoring the Boys In Blue.
Private Individuals contribute to
ward tho expenses of this public
function. But every year tho cost of
the service grows greater, and so,
with a patriotic desire to help In hon
oring the Defenders of tho Flag, the
borough fathers last year donated
Twenty-Five Dollars to Captain
James Ham Post No. 29S G. A. R.
Tho municipality is outgrowing its
swaddling clothes. How to caro for
tho Increasing quanity of garbage
was becoming a serious problem,
when tho Town Council went out into
the county and purchased a dumping
ground for $97. This will take care
of the garbage of the city until that
$10,000 garbage bacteria plant is
built.
Tho Town Council bought fifteen
cents worth of sal soda In 1911.
That was the smallest Item In the
municipal expense account. Then
there wero such things as coal to
heat tho City Hall, and insurance, to
protect it against lire loss, to bo tak
en into consideration. Tho borough
solicitor drew $50 for a year's ser
vice. So did the treasurer and tho
secretary of tho Town Council. Men
had to audit the accounts. And they
had to be paid. Tho annual state
ment had to bo published In tho
county papers, and printer's Ink costs
money. The Ice formed to a danger
ous thickness on Park Lake, and
dynnmito had to bo used to avoid a
flood. The streets of Spotless Town
grew dusty on a Summer's Day, and
they wero oiled, or at least sovoral
blocks of them were. Hero a dollar
went ana mere a dollar was needed,
so that the cost of running tho bor
ough In 1911 ran up to $13,920.31,
or an average of $15 for every voter.
And that was only for ten months,
too.
By the way If your taxes were less
than $15 last year, you'll know
you're that much In. Come to think
of It, Mr. Disgruntled Taxpayer,
don't tho corporations pay about half
tho taxes In Honesdale, just as they
do everywhere else?
Question: Is tho corporation a
friend or an enemy of tho poor man?
Now bo honest about tho answer!
