Commissioners Deserve Credit for Coun ty's Financial Condition. The auditors' report Hint iMinmisston ers' statement of tbe (inane - of Ji-ff.ir-son county for the year 1!M)7 are pub lished on another page o' this puper. This report will be found Intoresting reading to all citizens of the county, who have a right to be interested In the conduct of the county's financial affairs. A careful reading of the report shows a condition very gratifying to the citizens, and one which will bring to tho present board of county commissioners a deserved commenda tion for their careful management of the county finances. As will be noted by this report the county funds show a total of 123.540 38 overall liabilities, In addition to tbe cash balance on hand at the timo of making the settlement, making the to tal of county assets a little over $20,000. To this amount Bhould b added tbe balance in the treasury In tbe poor fund, amounting to $12,700 85. and the collectable taxes due that fund, swell ing the total In the poor fund to $18,902 73, a grand total of assets in tho two funds of almost $46,000 00. From this amount Bhould be subtracted the amount due the poor fund from the poor building fund, namely $4,095 40, leaving assets ( f about $42,000 00. The only existing liabilities are the $75,000 of poor building bonds, which are not redeemable until 1910, so that, In real ity, If tbe books of the county could be balanced to day, the county would be but $33,000 00 In debt. That this Is an admirable showing for the present board goes without saying. During the past year the commissioners have paid off $25,000 worth of poor bond and have purchased and added to tho equipment of the poor department a farm costing $5,300. Tbe indebted ness o' the county now contests solely of the poor bonds of the 1000 Issue, which are not redeemable until 1910, amount ing to the $75,000.00 above mentioned and it will be at once apparent that un der the present system of financing this amount will be in the hands of the treasurer and ready for tho wiping out of the county indebtedness as soon as these bonds can legally be lifted. But perhaps tbe point that will be most apparent to the average citizen Is that this reduction of the county debt has been accomplished with a reduction of taxes, and that last year the citizens of the countv paid into the county's coffers $10 573.40 less than they did In 1900, and for the year 1908 they will be called upon to pay $20,391 78 less than they did In 1900, a reduction of H mills from the levy of 1900 having been made for tbe current year. Tbe management of the county finan ces by the present board of county com missioners has been business-like with out being parsimonious, and tbe citizens and taxpayers will not be slow to accord credit where credit Is due. Brookvllle Republican. C. M. Dinger for Commissioner. Charles M. Dinger, one of our promi nent business men, member of the Reynoldsville Hardware Co., also mem ber of the town council of this borough, Is a Democratic candidate for tbe nomination for county commissioner. The past two or 'three weeks Mr. Dinger has been making an active cam paign In various parts of the county and reports good success. Ho thinks bis prospects are very good for the nomi nation for commissioner. Mr. Dinger is a gonial gentleman and he possesses the necessary qualification' to very oreditaoly fill tbe office be Is now asking the Democratic voters to boost him into. Mothers' Meeting.

A lianK ,.f i nglneers. In th- employ of tho shawmut Railroad, Br . now nt work in the region south of Brookvllle making ready for the extension of the main line of the Shawmut through Jef ferson and Armstrong counties. The workmen of the company have been largely employed during the past year In tbe completion ot the spur to Coni fer, which is now In operating condi tion, and over which passenger trains will be run commencing Monday of next week. The extension of the main line will give employment to a large number of men, and will open up a con siderable section of the county which has not heretofore had railway Borvice. From present indications, it Iibb been decided bv the Shawmut Interests to push their line through to Kittanning this year and connect with some line to Pittsburg and tho west. The Shawmut has a vast field of undcvelopi d coal In the Kittanning district, which when opened up will largely increase the tonnage over the new road. Already the mines at Conifer and Rumsaytown, where modern electrical plants are In operation, are producing a large daily output, and as the mines are developed the output will probably be the greatest of any operating mines In this end of the state. Brockway vlllo Record. Stricter Regulations for Postoffices. By virtue of a recent ordor of the postal department at Washington, stringent orders have been Issued to all postmasters not to divulge the names, addresses, or any other Information whatever concerning any of the patrons of the office. Heretofore postoffices have been considered local directories, bureaus of Information, and depositories for all sort" of neighborly conveniences. If a person wanted an address or list of names It was understood that the post master was in duty bound to supply this nformatlon, together with the habits, oharacter and general fitness of each individual who may come within obser vation of the office. Now all Is changed. Postmasters are required to keep all affairs ol tho office as Inviolate as the business of a bank. They are not permitted to give the name nor add ress of a patron, nor tell whether or not they aro a resident of the town or have moved away. Neither are they permitted to transact a parcel checking department for the public, nor to do anything except follow the regulations as set down In the Postal Guide and the numerous bulletins which keep them guessing as-to their proper interpretation Cbarlerol Mirror.
