The season for having a gener
al cleaning is now upon us, and
it would be well for the town's ap
pearance, as well as for the health
of its citizens, if some steps would
be taken to have a good old-time
cleaning. Other towns have a
health officer whose duty it is to
Jook after the sanitary condition of
things and see that everything is
( kept in a cleanly condition. There
are a number of places in town
that are likely to cause sickness
if somethihg is not done before the
real hot season comes. An epi
demic ot fever would hurt our
fowriftfore indoltars and rents,
than a thorough • cleansing and
proper disinfecting would cost.
Let us see if we cannot have as
fine a town from a sanitary stand
point as from any other.
Attorney General Bonaparte has
announced in an interview that the
government is about tired of im
posing fines 011 big corporations
that recklessly disregard the law.
He says that while an accumulation
of fines reaching a large amount
may act as a deterrent, such pen
alties only too frequently are paid
out of the troastiry of the corpora
tion whether they are assessed
against individual officers or not,
and result only in decreasing the
company's dividends and thus
sinking many innocent stockhold
ers without affecting the high of
ficials who are really at fault. He
intimates that a jail sentence which
will have to be served by the of
ficials against whom it is directed
seems a much simpler and more of
fective measure. This will be bad
intelligence for tbs managers ol
many big corporations who sup
posed tbey were ''law-proof." It
will be interesting to see whether
the Attorney General will have the
hardihood to put his threat into
execution.
"Bob" Proctor, Senator Lodge'*
private Secretary, has jumped his
biail after being convicted of steal
ing $250 in campaign contributions
It seems a pity for the court to
have been so hard on him. Rob
ert probably would have done a
good deal less harm >vith the mon
ey thau if it had been used in the
average Massachusetts election.
_ * -♦ -
It is announced lhat Richard
Croker. one time chief, of Tam
many Hall, has contributed $2,000
to the Irish Nationalist fund. Now
if the Nationalists could only get
him to manage their campaign in
stead of merely contributing, they
would be running not only the
House of Commons but the I.otul
011 police force before the ,next
election.
Mr. Ivditor:
I notice 111 The Commonwealth
of last week nu ar.ticle relative to
, the assessment of property. The
editor evideutly has not read tlie
law as set forth in the Revenue Act
of 1907, or has received a wrong
impression of it., He expressly
stated that personal property shall
be assessed by the owner; this is an
error, as a careful reading of the
Act, Section 14, will clearly show.
The section plainly says that all
property shall be assessed by the
Board of Assessors of the township
in which the property is located.
Reading the Act carefully, I find
that it means, Ist, that the Corpor
ation Commission shall assess all
public corporations, such as rail
roads, etc. 2nd, that the State
Auditor shall assess all bqnk stock.
3d, that the Tax Assessors shall
assess all other property located in
tbeif lespective townships. The
method andbasis of ascertaining
the value is by the oath aud exami
nation of the owuer of the property.
The act admits of but one interpre
tation, and is clearly defined. It
reads: "All articles of personal
property shall, as far as practicable,
be valued by the assessors accord
ing to their true value in inonev."
No one need err therein.

A Narrow Escape. '
- Yesterday about uoon the little
two-ye»r-old daughter of Mr. aud
Mrs. Fred Maltese had a narrow
escape from death. The little tot
was tunning around the yard play
ing; the nurse was caring for the
baby and was supposed also to 1*
looking after the little girl. A
horse was tied in the yard and the
little one ran under the horse and
touch it ou the leg whereupon the
horse kicked, knocking the little
one down and stepping upon her.
The child's mother ran out and
picked her up and rushed to the
office of Dr. Warren where he ex
amined the injured child, finding
that her shoulder was badly bruised
and one rib broken, and several
others badly.bruised, and the child
iriherwise injured. The little one
was bandaged aud properly cared
for aud taken home. I.ate last
night the little one was resting
fairly well. It is too early yet to
say whether or not the accident
will prove fatal, but it is hoped that
she will soon recover. The parents
