The town council nt its meeting
Monday evening toot a decided step
in the right direction. Centre
Square ling remained practically
treeless for 100 years, when, if some
interest had been manifested iu
time past in planting out trees it
would now be a beautiful shaded
lawn and an adornment to the town.
. Council has now concluded to rectify
this neglect and" will have planted n
suitable number of trees which in
time will furnish shade and make
the Square an attractive spot. For
this act it will have the sincere
thanks of our citizens and posterity
will rise up and call it blessed for it
public spirit.
It was alpo resolved by Council to
repair the sidewalks on the Square
There are several places where after
a snower water Btands and makes
pedestrinnism unpleasant. This will
be remedied. Now that council has
taken thin matter in hand every
property owner should in justice to
himself and the puhlio, wherever
necessary, repair the walks so that
they will be free from mud puddles
and standing water, Just a little
care in this matter and n trifling
expense will demonstrate a Bpirit. of
progress which will be heartily
commended and have its reward.
The matter of placing seats around
town and in the glen has been con
sidered and will receive attention.
Steps have been taken to procure
seats and some will be placed at
convenient places for public uso.
Every one should be interested iu
their care and preservation, and see
that they are not disfigured or
wantonly or carelessly injured.
The able article elsewhere printed
on taxation in Pennsylvania is from
the pen of X. P. Huddy, Esq. It
hows how this, the foremost re
publican state in the union, protects
and fosters the interests of her
citizens by relieving them of all
taxes to raise money for schools,
state, roads and expenses of the
state generally and places the burden
on corporations. This State is
pioneer in this form of taxation
which operates directly to the
benefit of the farmer, by relieving
him from taxes. The state is gene
rous to the public school system, hat
made large appropriations for road
purposes and gets all the money
from corporations. At the induction
of the new state treasurer in office
Monday over twelve million dollars
were turned over to him by the
retiring treasurer.
If ths people of the town really
desire that the Borough sbail be
made inviting and neat in appear
ance and that in this respect it shall
i.uep puce with the effort they make
to bring kutniner guests hera they
lsavo the means of effecting the
result in thuir liandu the ballot.

Our estooniod contemporary tlii
week devotes considerably over n
column to the subject of improving
and beautifying the town. With
what it siys we most cordially
agree and unite in urging our citi
zens to heed its excellent advice.
Ve cnnr,ot forbear wondering, how
ever, whether our e. o. and its
editor are two separate and very
distinct institutions. We recall
Without effort that its editor has
just concluded a three year's term
on the town council and it might
strike the average citizen as alittle
peculiar why during his individual
incumbency as a councilman he did
not inaugurate the reforms wlik h
he now as an editor so warmly
urges.
A foot bridge is needed to tiie
upper glen. Several have been built
but each has in succession gone tl.e
way of its predecessor, down t! e
Sawhill. The proper place to throw
one across the stream is just below
Wells' mill whore it will be safe
from floods. It would cost but little
more and would be, if properly built
entirely safe from destruction and
permanent. No use to wfisto money
in structures located and built as
formerly. Meantime a bridge in
the nature of a pontoon could be
cheaply made for public accommo.
dation.
A village improvement society has
not yet materialized, but it is certain
that the ladies, always progressive
and foremost in good works and
deeds, will not long delay in mak
ing thair influence manifest in this
direction. All that is needed is for
some one to initiate the movement
and the spirit is certain to become
contagious.

HYMENEAL
Hi'Kni.K snFi'rmtn
A very pretty wedding took place
at the (let man Lutheran parsonage
In Port Jervis at 5 30 o'clock Knndiiv
afternoon, May 1st, Rev. II. C
Wasniund oflk'tatine, when Fred J.
Muegle of l'j::t Jervis and Miss
Margaret A. Shepherd, also of that
A'illnge, but formerly of Dingmnns
Ferry, were j lined in tho holv bond
of matrimony. The ceremony was
beautiful nnd impressive and includ
ed the rite of the ring. The best
man was Floyd Harding, and the
bridesmaid was Miss Marlella Clark,
both of Port Jervis. Tho bride was
very charming in her traveling suit
of gray camelhair cloth, trimmed
with while broadcloth, geld braid
and buttons and wore a white hat
with plume. The bridesmaid was
also very becomingly attired in a
suit of brown broadcloth, with hat
to match. The bride is a daughter
of Mr. nnd Mrs. Edward Shepherd
of Dingmans Ferry and is hold in
high esteem by n host of friends,
wherever she is known. The groom
is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Huegle
of No. 172 Piko street, Port Jervis,
and is a highly respected and pro
mising ytmiig business man of that
place. Mr. and Mrs. Huegle started
on C.10 o'clock train for a tour to
New York, Philadelphia and Atlan
tic City. On their return they will
begin house keeping at No. 12 Canal
street, Port Jervis the home already
prepared by the thoughtful groom.
The wedding was a very quiet affair
on account of the repent serious
illness of the brides mother.
THE STATE'S POWER TO TAX
(Continued from First Pne)
on foreign held corporate bonds. This
statute was presented to the Supreme
Court of the Unifcad States for oon
sideration and iu 1872 that court
decided that the statute w is uncon
stitutional. This decision, resulting
from Pennsylvania legislation has
had a far reaching effect and is one
of the greatest decisions of the
highest court of our laud concerning
the subject of taxatiou aud the place
where property is taxable
Under an act passed iu 1891 and
amended in 1895, Pennsylvania pro
vided for the taxation of resident
bondholders of pjivate corporations,
aud made it the duty of the corpora
tion to assess and colloct the tax for
the state. This statute has many
times been uphold and construed by
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
and may serve as a model for
similar statutes to be enacted by
other states of the Union.
From an examination of the laws
passed by Pennsylvania and those of
the different) states it is apparent
that no state has exhibited such
alertness and has esercisod Its
powers to such a searching extent in
reference to taxation as Pennsyl
vania. This is indicative of progress
in the administration of govern
mental functions and it shows that
the law making power of Pennsyl
vania has kept pace with the many
business inventions of tho ngo, com
pelting them to contribute their just
proportion to the support of the
government which affords them pro
tection in the carrying on of their
business enterprises.
