Cowdy-ASufieelhNi. Never before id the 'history of the' town have the town, council ever as­ sembled in the council chamber to transact tbe usual business by the] , light of tallow candles. Such was the { fcase at the meeting last Monday night. When the meeting was called to order, [■all answered present with the excep- itiou of Shrondes. For the last three I meetings this member has iteeti ah- jsent and was reported sick, and pre- fsumed that he had not recovered, or ;has died, and such was the. Mayor’s ;ruling that lie had not been seen at a. ieouncH meeting for three weeks and- •declared him dead, and that the rna- fjority would be three, Shull's reso- flutiou in regard t» taking$100 out. of [the general fund to finish the present [lighting system till March, was voted land passed. Iliff and Townsley vot- ling against it. Attorney R. G. Gotydy, of Xenia, Fwae then called upon and he in- [traduced himself as representing[E ( (G. LoWry, who was willing to light [the streets with electric lights. He proposed t*t furnish 25 or morejights iat 105 per year for a period of ten years, to he operated 00 the Phila­ delphia moonlight achrtukv No discussion of conse^uenfe between the members followed, and Lott moved to adjourn. All voted it* favor of this motion except Iliif and Townsley, After the Shull 'resolu­ tion had been passed tbe electric lights were turned on in the council chamber. I t seems an though some enormous figures are in circulation in regard to the cost o f the present lighting ays*, tcm. A careful investigation Iasi Monday evening showed that only #455 was expended during theyekr 1808. This included the electric lights fur Mayor’s office mid engine room, coal oil and repairs for street lamps, and theservices of James Caldwell for lighting, while the report hat it that it cost nearly |700tlollars. This is a false statement, we care not where it came from, and any citizen has the privilege of examining the book of expenditures which haugs in the Mayor’s office. In the followingwe give a few com­ parisons with other towns to show the tax rate and valuation and what it will cause the rate to bti beie, if we have ehf trio lights before the valua­ tion is raised. The valuation for Os* l*»ro 18!)< was $378,881, and that of 1838 was #357,571, showing * de­ crease of over $23,000 from the pre­ vious year caused by one heavy tax* p.!y? r leaving the town on account of the heavy taxes Jamestown had a taxation for 1898 of 2.59, ft valuation o f -18^911 dollars and a tax rate of 2,74 Oao of the heaviest tax payers in this town- recently sold his properly and move*! to the country, declaring that ih"*e who wanted those city ini- pf'>vem*ats in « country town could hnvr thorn, but would have to pay for them 'the vuhntmu for tills place for 1898 was #277,931 with a tax rate of 2,4 i Jamestown has $210,880 in valuation tn«re than we have, and a tax rale of 2,7#< They have electric light* about „tte half enough in num­ bers They have indebtedness and] poor sleets, and sidewalks, and yet] have the highest rate in the countyI by two mills. ■ We have tbe best streets and side- jOf walks in Greene county, not a dollar 1 irt debt, something the town lias no t: had for years, ' and a system that lights the town as good as James sudde # death . tsOM isd Respected Citizen—Heart Disease theCause.

Twenty-five lights at 65 00 per lamp per year would be #1625 or 1.200 dollars more than the preseut lighting costs. To produce the extra 1.200 dollars, which is about one half of the whole levy for the towu, it would add oue half of the present levy (891) and 4.5, equal to about 13 mills, which added to the state and county tax would be over three per cent. . Does high taxes and low valuation of property encourage capitalists aud manufacturers to locate here? Wo say no. I t will only have a tendency to kill the boom into which the .town hasjust entered. Our suggestion is that we wait -till the valuation is raised, which will lie without a doubt next year, ’and that l»y the electric road that enters here, make them light the two principle streets for the franchise, and in ‘this the town will be relieved of a heavy burden.

Narrow Escape Mr. Samuel Boyle, a . detective on this railroad, met with a very serious accident, at the depot in,Columbus, Monday morning. Mr. Boyle. had stepped from the depot to the track when the yard engine came along, and struck liim hurling him some dis­ tance in the nir awl alighting between the rail and the ienee. It was found upon examination that Mv. Boyle’s skull had been fractured and that his leg was also fractured at the knee, the most severe injury of the* two. It was reported that Mr. Boyle had died as the result of his injuries, hut it was afterwards-found to be false. It is probable (hat his leg will have to he amputated. » * Beaten After AWi It is not often that ftU event is over" recorded where a sTot-inacinne is lwaten. huMhisou^irafluaattpn wax touched for a neat sum one night not long ago.
